His problem is he doesn't know when to keep his Goddamn mouth shut. Talking about free software is one thing. Holding forth on the nuance of what is and isn't child abuse, in a society where anything more moderate than "feed the pedos feet first into a woodchipper and let God sort 'em out" is fundamentally untenable, is quite another. Even if he were technically right, especially given his history of massive faux pas in this particular area, he should have kept his opinions to himself.
Isn’t the focus on competition a big part of anti-trust law? I thought it was the whole point.

Maybe we need some more general expanded consumer protection laws.
Upvoted and apologies for being too aggressive in that last comment.

I would only add that it is my understanding that most sex workers would very much like sex work to simply be considered work, and that the only way to improve conditions for all sex workers is to end criminalization of consensual sex between adults, paid or otherwise. At least that's the overwhelming consensus of the swers I know and the stuff I read/follow on the topic.

Portfolio/Website: https://dillonbrown.me

I want to help create cool stuff. I'm looking for UI and UX positions, as well as junior web development work.

I'm really into usability, especially when it comes to designing app interfaces. I like making people's lives a little easier with the skills I have. I'm always thinking about how technology can be improved and how people interact with it.

User interface design is my passion and I can do some basic front-end web development. Plain old HTML and CSS are my tools of choice. I can hack together some JavaScript given enough time. By far the most impressive JavaScript I have cobbled together is for an open-source web app I built as a passion project, which can be seen here [1]. Please take a look at my portfolio [2] to see some of my favorite projects.

“Small but mighty”: How Plex serves its global community
In such discussions, its usually better to strive to understand what the commenter actually meant rather than being pedantically correct. The latter can border on bad-faith rather than adding to the discussion. The OP clarified their point.

As already pointed out, there are more definitions. This one aligns just fine with the OP's point:

Ask HN: Paid for X Premium and still no access
It is the oddest thing, and I wonder if others have encountered this issue. I paid for X premium on Sept 7 and still have no access to the features or blue checkmark. I have opened several tickets with X support and I get the same canned replies, "Thanks for reaching out about the missing blue features. We are aware of this issue and understand how frustrating this might be. Our team is working to resolve this." but the tickets never stay open. There is no way to get my money back, as I understand it. Anyone else had a similar issue or suggest a way to get this moving?

You’re not alone. That’s also how PostgreSQL itself thinks about schemas! https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/catalog-pg-namespace...
I think this is an interesting analysis. My speculation is that the evidence will show much more intent than expected. I think the cooperation agreements are reflective of that and suggest those folks knew what they were doing wasn't right.

Edit: I am skeptical that that significant money will be recovered. Madoff ran a rather simple scheme where he skimmed money for himself and to pay earlier investors. I don't believe he actually lost that much money, just never made anywhere near the paper returns. I think FTX actually lost a lot of real money, but I am not that close to the facts.
>> At a previous company our main competitor fixed most of its prices to 1 cent below ours, so when we raised the prices they followed us as well.

So theoretically if you both raised prices too much arbitrarily, a third player might enter the market at a lower price. How realistic is that? I think any newcomer would be well aware of your ability to lower prices to compete, and a new player probably has costs just to enter the game so it'd be a bit risky.
I don't think the courts recognize determinism.

It sucks that once you are in too deep, it's hard to stop, but you always had the option not to take the first step.
Down with integers and floats as well! Seriously, replace them all with strong types. Just because you have two integers doesn't mean can mix them, and even if you can that doesn't mean all operations make sense. If you have a matrix you don't want to mix up row and columns accidentally (there are times to do it intentionally, but it should be clear that is intentional). A meter * a meter should result in a liter, while a meter * page count should fail to compile.

If you really want the full set of operations that a bool supports on your enum you can add them (every language I'm aware of makes this harder than it should be, but that is a different issue), but most of the time they don't make logical sense as operations for what I'm doing so I want my code to not compile if I do them - I just make a mistake.

[insert rant about different strings not being the same thing here]

We do need integers at the bottom of the stack, but we need to move up to strong non-fundamental types sooner. It makes things harder at first, but it saves a lot of bugs long term.
Makes a lot of sense for freight... lots of weight, most miles going through lower population areas.

This is the best I've tried so far, but no mac support I don't think. Its a feature packed fork of Fooocus, which was developed by the orginal ControlNet dev. The quality you can get from small prompts is mind boggling:

https://github.com/MoonRide303/Fooocus-MRE

For base SD 1.5, I use Volta, because its fast: https://github.com/VoltaML/voltaML-fast-stable-diffusion/com...

Really good SD 1.5 image quality comes from gratuitous use of finetunes, LORAs, controlnet and other augmentations. So you can, say, trace a base image for structure, specify prompting in certain areas of the image and so on. InvokeAI is actually quite feature packed, and has lots of these augmentations hidden in the nodes UI, but Volta and other UIs also expose them more directly.
Unfortunately, the NSA & NIST most likely is recommending a quantum-proof security that they've developed cryptanalysis against, either through high q-bit proprietary technology or specialized de-latticing algorithms .

The NSA is very good at math, so I'm be thoroughly surprised if this analysis was error by mistake rather than error through intent.

> The problem was that they then used that arrest data to make decisions about where to perform future searches and arrests. Because they found drugs where they had looked previously, they looked there again and found more drugs.

Seems like the world's most obvious and easiest to solve problem tbh. This is like saying "I showed version A of my site to 1000 users and version B to 100. And version A lead to 500 conversions while version B only lead to 75. Therefore, version A is better because it lead to more conversions."

Most recently I've been the Director of Software Engineering at a small fintech company. I have been leading development teams for over 10 years. Experience growing dev teams from hiring through leadership and mentorship. I like to be actively involved with development from architecture to actual coding and delivery. Looking for an engineering manager or senior IC position.
Property gets assessed by government, a sticker price is put, and then the homeowner has to pay % of it as tax over here, as far as I know. Rinse and repeat every year.
What's your search? I added aa and it remained.
This, and a few more dynamics, including:

- The better applicants usually have several warm leads and often don't bother with high-effort application processes, since they have a pretty decent chance of getting hired wherever they apply, and they're also not bothering to apply for things they're wildly unqualified for

- The worse and more desperate applicants have the time and motivation to stick through the most bizarre and convoluted application process until they get kicked out, with no regard to how well they actually match the requirements

So thus, the more hoops you put into your process to try and stem the tide of the hoards of desperate unqualified applicants, the more you disproportionately screen out the highly qualified applicants who have better things to do and better opportunities to pursue.
damn so many potential questions, but I don't know if you can answer any as I know most people that were in those pivotal years are so cagey about it.
Normally I'm the first one out the gate to remind people that the legal standard in the US for monopoly isn't size or impact on competition but consumer harm... Amazon could strangle all alternative product channels, but if they do so by legitimately finding a breakthrough that delivers product to people with 10x efficiency, that's (a) not actionable in the US and (b) great news, system works as intended, A++ would let winner win again.

... but in this case? Amazon has massive access to otherwise-secret price knowledge that they require sellers provide to participate in the marketplace. More than people realize and more than is shown in the UI (I did some work for a company that specialized in providing that data).

If they used it to feed this algorithm, there's a real solid case that they used their unique market position to make things more expensive for no consumer benefit, and the antitrust case writes itself.
I see you're opting for AGPL on a codebase that is designed to be embedded as a library. Genuine question, what kind of user did you have in mind when you decided on this license?
But do they commingle inventory? That's the real problem with Amazon, not that fakes are listed on the marketplace, but that you can't even trust Amazon as the seller.

It's perfectly clear what Stallman said and what he meant by it. But if there are bystanders with their own agendas, perhaps Stallman isn't the problem here.
The war in Afghanistan is over, the US doesn't need a Pakistan who's in bed with China anymore. They'll safely ignore India's dealings with Russian oil while doing exercises with Quad states to countner China-Russia "no-limits" partnership along with their puppet, the DPRK.
Well they have the rights of adults. Should 19 year old people not have the rights of adults?
I think the "balance" argument is a diversion because when you examine the actual policies and their outcomes, at no point does it appear that stability is the actual goal. Yes, the idea that we need a balanced approach to individual vs collective rights is valid and should be a guiding star for us. My argument is that it is not - that our policies instead cause greater instability - and the balance argument is nothing more than a rhetorically nice-sounding cover story for these destructive policies.
They say that:

> In 2021, The Markup published an investigation in partnership with Gizmodo showing that Geolitica’s software tended to disproportionately target low-income, Black, and Latino neighborhoods in 38 cities across the country.

But you should understand what is meant by "disproportionately" in this context. It does not appear to mean "disproportionate to the amount of crime in those areas." It seems, as with most accusations of disparate impact, to mean just quite literally that more crimes are predicted in those neighborhoods without reference to disparities in crime rates.

They then imply (without direct reference to the enormous offending disparities) that this is explained by race and class differences in crime reporting: [0]

> The agency has found repeatedly that White crime victims are less likely to report violent crime to police than Black or Latino victims.

> In a special report looking at five years of data, BJS found an income pattern as well. People earning $50,000 or more a year reported crimes to the police 12 percent less often than those earning $25,000 a year or less.

> This disparity in crime reporting would naturally be reflected in predictions.

It's possible this is having some effect, but, again, because there is no reference to the (often very large) baseline differences in crime rates, we can't see what's true, which is that this probably accounts for only a small amount of that difference.

They are capable of empathy yes because any way we know how to demonstrate empathy shows this. That's the standard we apply for people so that's the standard for LLMs as well.

You keep saying, "being able to talk about doesn't mean" but that's pointless when that's not the only understanding tests people employ. The paper i linked shows empathy understanding and has nothing to do with talking about empathy

That wouldn't allow you to partially roll out your new code base (depending on the altered schema), nor to easily revert such a roll out.
Chip War focuses a lot on the personalities and comparatively little on the business/industry itself. It provides an entertaining read, I guess, but especially in the second half, I found myself reading on just to finish the book, rather than out of a desire/expectation to get informed.

Some representative paragraphs from the book. Some people probably like this style, but it's not for me.

> In 1985, Taiwan's powerful minister K. T. Li called Morris Chang into his office in Taipei. Nearly two decades had passed since Li had helped convince Texas Instruments to build its first semiconductor facility on the island. In the twenty years since then, Li had forged close ties with Texas Instrument's leaders, visiting Pat Haggerty and Morris Chang whenever he was in the U.S. and convincing other electronics firms to follow TI and open factories in Taiwan. In 1985, he hired Chang to lead Taiwan's chip industry. "We want to promote a semiconductor industry in Taiwan," he told Chang. "Tell me," he continued, "how much money you need."

> Lee Byung-Chul could make a profit selling almost anything. Born in 1910, just a year after Jack Simplot, Lee launched his business career in March 1938, a time when his native Korea was part of Japan's empire, at war with China and soon with the United States. Lee's first products were dried fish and vegetables, which he gathered from Korea and shipped to northern China to feed Japan's war machine. Korea was an impoverished backwater, with no industry or technology, but Lee was already dreaming of building a business that would be "big, strong, and eternal," he declared. He would turn Samsung into a semiconductor superpower thanks to two influential allies: America's chip industry and the South Korean state. A key part of Silicon Valley's strategy to outmaneuver the Japanese was to find cheaper sources of supply in Asia. Lee decided this was a role Samsung could easily play.

> Vladimir Vetrov was a KGB spy, but his life felt more like a Chekhov story than a James Bond film. His KGB work was bureaucratic, his mistress far from a supermodel, and his wife more affectionate toward her shih tzu puppies than toward him. By the end of the 1970s, Vetrov's career, and his life, had hit a dead end. He despised his desk job and was ignored by his bosses. He detested his wife, who was having an affair with one of his friends. For recreation, he escaped to his log cabin in a village north of Moscow, which was so rustic that there was no electricity. Or he'd simply stay in Moscow and get drunk.
The locks I was referring to were more around advisory locks to prevent multiple migrations from running. For the locks you mention, all migrations create some kind of table lock typically, it's up to the dev to make them as small as necessary. I don't follow your strawman.
Odd that you are being downvoted.

I work remote and travel around going wherever I want. The idea that my mental health and lifestyle can be “improved” by taking away my freedom and making me go into the office a number of days a week is preposterous.

I do meet up with my coworkers in person at a regular and infrequent cadence, and that’s always nice and pleasant. But that’s not what qualifies “hybrid” by any reasonable definition.
I had an inspection for the first apartment and then the first house I bought in Auckland (New Zealand) in the first decade of the 21st century. Both turned out to be leaky. Whose fault was it? There's plenty of blame to go around - the inspectors (for failing to see the problem), the government (for deregulating), the builders (for using materials they shouldn't have), the architects (for design that would never have lasted), the local government (for approving the housing), and maybe me for not having understood something I had no experience of, and had never happened before in my country.
It's kind of crazy to me that the manuf is consistently the most expensive place to buy things. Went to the benchmade factory store a few weeks back, there's only one. Their prices were 20% over what sportsmans warehouse a few blocks away had for the same knife.

Like someone comes all the way to your one store location and you're gouging them on price. Crazy. I didn't buy anything at the store, got the knife at the SW.

They charge even more online which is also fun. This is on $425 knives so you know there's hella headroom.
+1. I have only finished around ~20% of the book - but it's been really informative covering a wide range of topics from early technical innovations, to to the companies involved like Fairchild, TI, Intel, Sony, TSMC etc (and by extension the nations involved US, Japan, Russia, Taiwan etc)
I had hoped that it would be clear from context that I'm talking about someone who commits financial fraud, not just someone stealing a backpack, but if that was not clear then that is on me.

Disagree on $1 million being a low threshold. There are fraud operations out there that steal $10k from one pensioner and $50K from another that in aggregate hit $1 million. I think everyone involved in the fraud end of something like that deserves to forfeit their lives.

The NSA also has a mission-based interest in _breaking_ other people's crypto though, which is generally known.

Which is generally known, so I'm surprised by your argument. Even if the NSA knows more than they are telling us, this doesn't result in most of us feeling less worried, as their ends may not be strengthening the public's cryptography!

It's a hard to say, but it's generally better to keep something at the consumer level running because of the cost of carbon manufacturing and shipping the product.

Additionally I happen to live in an area with a very heavy use of renewables, so the carbon cost is even lower.
