The point of a CEO is as a fall guy. Only going after the CEO means nothing is solved, the hydra remains. Instead you have to decapitate the company’s leading structure, such as investors and high management, then hope for a systemic change which may or may not come.

1. Are you using maps on android, iphone, or on the web? If on the web - did you open the maps.google.com page yourself, or did you arrive there by clicking the maps link on some other page?

I have generally been happy with google maps experience (mostly on android) here in Japan over the past several years. Other family members use it on their iPhones, and seem to prefer it to Apple maps.

Google maps on web (If I use it, it is mostly in Chrome) sometimes acts very wonky when you arrive there by link from e.g. hotel webpage, travel-agency, or similar. (so navigate to maps.google.com is preferable).

2. Is the UI in English, or in Japanese?

I have noticed a slight tendency on the web version to punish you for using Japanese terms in the English UI, and vice-versa, nothing as bad as the symptoms you are describing though.

Also it seems like you know enough Japanese to understand the difference between 銭湯 (sento) and 温泉 (onsen) - just thought I'd mention that they are not the same , just in case a translation software threw you for a loop.

3. I don't think its punishing your for having location history off, but it might punishing you for having maps-search turned off - not sure about that.

4. Since you seem security-minded, is it possible you are also disallowing cookies or other JS functionality that might be affecting the behavior of the webapp?
Tell HN: ChatGPT cut off date now Jan 2022

I’d rather recommended only buying bottles of olive oil with printed harvest dates on the bottle within the last year. It’s absurd that stores are selling two year old oil. There’s a real problem with grocery stores having too many options for a single product and then most of the product on the shelves is unacceptably old.

The printing press made books cheap relative to hand copied books, but they were still expensive for most people.

Before the printing press two books cost around the same as a 2 story cottage.

Afterwards a couple books would be about a month of wages for a skilled worker.

That greatly limits ones ability to drown out anything with books.

> Or are you saying a document format should just be some DDL statements? What? How is that interoperable?

Yes. How is it interoperable, because it's quite easy to make DDL for SQLite that also works for many other DBMSes, given that SQLite is kinda the lowest common denominator of those.

Maybe not as interoperable as ODF since it's easier to implement an ODF parser/writer than a SQLite clone, but probably more interoperable than some kind of advanced ODF designed for efficient updates. Just because you define a standard doesn't mean there are good portable implementations out there.

This is written from the perspective of rent-seeking unions who benefit from laws that suppress people's right to freely contract in labor negotiations, and must vilify the principles of a free society through conspiracy theories about "neoliberalism" and "corporate greed" to maintain public support for the legal arrangement.

The last 50 years of wage growth stagnation comes solely down to a declining rate of productivity growth, which in turn is caused by a marked decrease in market liberalism, most pronouncedly in the housing market:

https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/mac.20170388

>We quantify the amount of spatial misallocation of labor across US cities and its aggregate costs. Misallocation arises because high productivity cities like New York and the San Francisco Bay Area have adopted stringent restrictions to new housing supply, effectively limiting the number of workers who have access to such high productivity. Using a spatial equilibrium model and data from 220 metropolitan areas we find that these constraints lowered aggregate US growth by 36 percent from 1964 to 2009.

Most people rarely hear alternative narratives like the above to the one presented by unions for the cause of economic stagnation because the news media we depend on to inform us about the world is also fully unionized, e.g. all New York Times journalists are members of the NY Times Guild [1], with its writers and journalists benefiting from the exploitive arrangement of market restrictions granting their union a negotiating monopoly.

If labor costs go up 40%, but only in the US factories, I don't see how that doesn't lead to more parts & assembly in Mexico, Canada, China, etc.

Some full sets are worth quite some money but most of that crap is mostly worth its weight in silver (it's not pure silver) and that's it.

Now here's the kicker: some of these sets have several kilograms of silver in them.

Here'd be the biggest french auction site and full "menagere" can go from 2 K EUR up to 15 K EUR for the rarest and biggest ones:

https://drouot.com/fr/l/22652407-couverts-espagnols-en-argen...

They're usually listed with the weight of the various pieces.

If it's 750/1000 silver (or whatever: it's not pure silver I think) and there are x kilograms, you can figure out what these are more or less worth.

> The silver was real silver judging by the tarnishing

I wouldn't be so sure... Many other material do look not unlike silver and were precisely used to make it look like they were silver. These aren't worth anything.

There's a theory they can't monetize it and thus not put too much work into it(because it would have to justify itself) because of big antitrust issues if they started valueing the service.
One piece of advice here is, if you pitch yourself as a datadog competitor, then I would recommend replicating some of the GTM motions that datadog employed. For instance, you have an opportunity to go very upmarket, super enterprise orgs. You can do PLG, but ultimately every tool becomes SLG. I would recommend fine tuning that motion as that would be the one bringing larger contract 6 digit contracts and huge growth here.

I have seen orgs remove datadog because of unpredictable pricing. If you do flat price self hosted platform, you will get attention. I dont think orgs would mind hosting clickhouse. You can also bundle it with your helm charts or initial proof of concept might have lower barrier. I know some orgs have million dollar annual contracts with datadog, a cheaper more predictable priced alternative will definitely get attention.
Isn't it bad opsec for this to be public knowledge?
I recently contemplated using a CPLD for a project and discovered that (at least the ones I was able to find suppliers and documentation for) are even less open source friendly than FPGAs are, none of the CPLDs I found seemed to have any open source tooling that I could find.

I would love to be corrected on this because other than proprietary tooling that only supports windows … a CPLD seemed perfect for this project.

These rumors, about IETF in particular, predate the Snowden disclosures.

Almost immediately after that happened, a well-known cypherpunk person accused the IETF IPSEC standardization process of subversion, pointing out Phil Rogaway (an extraordinarily well-respected and influential academic cryptographer) trying in vain to get the IETF not to standardize a chained-IV CBC transport (this is a bug class now best known, in TLS, as BEAST), while a chorus of IETF gadflies dunked on him and questioned his credentials. The gadflies ultimately prevailed.

The moral of this story, and what makes these "NSA at IETF" allegations so insidious, is that the IETF is perfectly capable of subverting its own cryptography without any help from a meddling intelligence agency. This is a common failure of all standards organizations (W3C didn't need any help coming up with XML DSIG, which is probably the worst cryptosystem ever devised), but it's somewhat amplified in open settings like IETF.
I agree, seize the company and take ownership of all its assets, including IP, at a minimum. Fines and punishments with no teeth are not any good for the public interest.
I use InfluxDB for this, it comes with a frontend UI and you can configure Telefraf as a statsd listener, so the same metric ingestion as datadog pretty much. There are docker containers for these, which I have added to my docker-compose for local dev.

I think it does log ingestion too, I haven't ever used that, I mostly use it just for the metrics and graphing.

The govt doesnt invest. The definition of investment is that a bad investment goes sour and you lose your money, and evetually you go out of business.

The govt spends other peoples money. It can do bad things. But it never goes out of businessess. When it spends it poorly as it is often the case, they take more money from people. If they can't, they take it from unborn people. Eventually this builds up a debt.

I don’t know about Arizona, but apparently, parts of the great plains were dense forest that Europeans clear cut, and they simply never recovered. Also, California used to be green in the summer, but then people introduced non-native grass that grows rapidly in spring, choking out the native plants, but dies by July. It is the reason the hills are so yellow and dusty and dry.

There is some stuff along route 66 that suggests the desert was there longer than humans though. One example is the crater they used for moon landing training. It’s basically undisturbed, and is extremely old.

Does this buy a house in any US city?
It’s doable. The challenge typically isn’t in the actually building though, it’s in finding people willing to pay. I recommend trying to acquire customers with mock-ups / clickable prototypes. If you can get 3 or so customers to sign contracts based on that, it’s likely worth building.
I think the article makes a valiant effort at attempting to explain how this problem is being solved, but without additional context I don’t think I can follow.

OAuth2 is about the simplest thing you could come up to solve the delegated authentication problem. It's complexity stems mostly from the environment it operates in: it's an authentication protocol that must run on top of unmodified oblivious browsers.

There's a lot of random additional complexity floating around it, but that complexity tracks changes in how applications are deployed, to mobile applications and standalone front-end browser applications that can't hold "app secrets".

The whole system is very convoluted, I'm not saying you're wrong to observe that, but I'd argue that's because apps have a convoluted history. The initial idea of the OAuth2 code flow is pretty simple.
Then it would only take you a minute to link an example or two?
You need to pay congressmen enough money so they can have upper middle class lifestyle - without that pressure to take bribes is dramatically higher. You have nice 5bdrm house in good school district and enough money for nice vacation + savings? Refusing bribes is easy - you are comfortable. Kids are taken care of. Wife does not have to work. This lifestyle requires 300-600k in DC.

You live in shitty 2bdrm apartment with wife and two kids in poor school district? With no savings and vacation? Your life is hell and you are that much more likely to take bribes.

It’s all about incentives.

Not really. Large military procurement programs are always a gold-mine for the media, especially those involving new technologies (compared with design iterations). Issues, bugs, production issues, etc are inevitable, and given the large price tag associated with a program like this, the stories are easy to write. The F-35 had it's fair share of these, but now that the program has matured, the incident rate is less than it's contemporaries. It currently has one of the best safety records of US fighter jets. But F-16s don't generate the safe media buzz when they crash.

>He told TV2 Nord on Monday the museum had made "much, much more" money than what it invested thanks to the publicity surrounding the affair.

Fair's fair. If the artist has to return the money, the museum should have to refund any additional ticket sales.

The museum is trying to have its cake and eat it too. Apparently they're powerful enough to take it.

Everyone at the museum who was involved in this case should be ashamed. Sadly yet another case of the legal system used as a sledgehammer against those with less power.

Everyone's saying "they want you to use the app", but maybe it's also to overcharge people who just don't care or realize that they're wasting money. Older people who don't use their phone and just keep going to the same places out of routine, get the higher prices; while younger people and those who actually pay attention, instead of not eating there at all, get the lower prices.

I’m a big PSB fan. Their subversive mix of clever lyrics, dark humor, and leftist politics under the veneer of highly commercial pop and dance music has long appealed to me. I’ve also been a long time visitor to this site. I can always count on it for thought-provoking and insightful analysis of their work. Design-wise, the site is a delightful throwback to the uncomplicated and messy glory days of the web in the early 2000s.

It’s worth nothing PSB is still going strong. They continue to release new and interesting material and tour the world. I saw them twice in 2022 when they were co-headlining with New Order and they haven’t lost a step after all these decades.

Yes, I explicitly mentioned that: without Jobs AAPL would not be where it was today. But he was replaced.

And what other CEOs are / were as instrumental as Jobs? What other major companies need to have someone of that calibre?

What's insidious about SAML is that it really is mostly straightforward to understand, but it's built on a foundation of sand, bone dust, and ash; it works --- mostly, modulo footguns like audience restrictions --- if you assume XML signature validation is reliable. But XML signature validation is deeply cursed, and is so complicated that most fielded SAML implementations are wrapping libxmlsec, a gnarly C codebase nobody reads.
