Multiple accounts, small amounts. The hard part about money laundering is not really getting money in the system. It's building a credible story for when someone (e.g. the police) asks where your money comes from. In this case, "I'm a popular Twitch streamer". Products that have high profit margins (e.g. streaming, digital products, gambling, software, etc.) are ideal for that and why they are often considered "high risk" by financial institutions.
I saw it too in the 90s, unfortunately I can't remember the game's name.
The article mentions that police asked them to leave the car in place until the FD arrived.
> I’m saying that the public tolerates this situation (and the CIA et al use the classification system this way) because the public prefers feeling a certain way about what their government is doing, over knowing what their government is doing.

Based on what evidence? Think about what you are saying.

1. The clandestine arms of the US government has hidden things from the public

2. But this was because the public wanted it

Explain how (2) came about.

The US was much more open about things like the Vietnam War because there was virtually no public opposition at the start of it. Then a culture of opposition eventually emerged. When Reagan took office his administration interferred in Latin America. But then they found out that they couldn't just do that in the open like in the past because there was too much public opposition. So the operations had to be more clandestine.

Public interest in US government operations abroad directly lead to a more clandestine approach—the exact opposite effect that you are claiming.

> Nominally, if the public cared more about what was actually happening:

And these things would come about how? Again, you're missing a step and somehow think that the public can will these concrete legislations into effect. How?

The US government has been around for centuries while what could be called universal democracy only came about in the 1960's (arguably). And what democracy? A stronger one than pre-WWII, but still an elite-ruled democracy.
I vouched for this and un-flagged it.

I find most of your content here to not have any good follow-through.

Amazon isn't just some software on a few servers. It's a whole vertical enterprise. Suggesting that some front-end and back-end servers can take the place of warehouses, delivery people, fleets of machines (served by AWS no less), payment companies, 3rd party billing is just laughable, and shows the naivete of a sw engineer.

However, that last paragraph is terrible and absolutely true...

> Otherwise, at best, you are just reduced to begging Daddy Government to force these corporations to break up. How well did that work for Ma Bell? The pieces were still a cartel, still charged $3 a minute. What the government couldn't do in a decade, open source technology and open protocols did in a few short years ... VoIP dropped the price to practically nothing. Now we have videoconferencing all over the world. Because once we decoupled the software (AOL, MSN, etc.) from the infrastructure via open protocols, the infra providers became a dumb pipes competing in a free market.

I remember Ma Bell. Charged stupid prices for long distance, but was a good service. And then, the splitup happened. Did we get better services? Nope. We just got dozens of smaller monopolies all engaging in the EXACT SAME SCAMS that Ma Bell was broken up for.

It was when we started pushing data around and got away from POTS lines did we finally break the stranglehold of the baby bells. Even DSL has been basically thrown away, given how little the RBOCs dont want to advance and grow. Monopolies are like that.
My question wasn't do people want replacement batteries, they clearly do. My question is why they need them? I don't understand how one person's experience with a battery can be so much different than anothers. I would think, if anything, my usage of my phones in my day to day work would mean I'd be harder on phones than most people, not apparently easier.
That’s my point. Any method will get corrupted by bad players. My comment was on a lot of agile environments that have turned into micromanagement machines that discourage any kind of long term thinking. If you only look to the next scrum you are pretty much guaranteed to create massive tech debt in the form of many quick fixes.

>I think most people would agree that types prevent a lot of bugs

Again, that's not what research shows. Type checking bugs are most definitely not the most common ones and typing doesn't really help with runtime bugs unless it's a strongly typed language.

I'm all for types, but after using TypeScript and seeing everyone (including the article) touting it as the solution, it simply isn't all that better than vanilla JS.

I did spend countless hours having to wrangle typescript when integrating with third party libraries, searching for types that were not always there, manually extending/creating library types and so on.

So no, it's not as clear cut as some say it is.

If we want to argue for types, then we should use strongly typed languages that prevent these bugs (if you can manage to create the right types, of course). Examples in TypeScript are simply not going to cut it because that's a horrible example of a typed language. I mean, it's not even a language.

Edit: above all, hard research. If there's research for this, why isn't that in the article?
Thanks for the clarification and link!

I do think that this has the effect of locking customers into Cloudflare's geoip data, which seems a little sketchy. The operator of archive.is claims that the data itself is bad[1] but I can't speak to his biases or motivations.

If the data is incomplete or bad, then you gain an advantage by using Cloudflare's services over rolling your own or using a competitor if a large number of customers are using their DNS, so I think the original point does stand. And if you are a competitor, your ability to compete with greater edge capacity or more targeted edge capacity is nonexistent.

It's not that you can't possibly get any more edgy than that, there's just no demand for it anymore due the rise of safe space / political correctness movements. Though you could still anger your parents by listening to LGBT themed music if they're on the conservative side.
Most forums were awful phpbb nonsense where it was impossible to find the information you wanted. Search always required logging in and the only interface for very long threads was paging through them 10 badly laid out posts at a time.

No thank you.

Of course modern forums are better. Disqus is ok, and D's forum software is arguably the best thing to come out of the D project.

In any case Discord is not a replacement for forums; it's a replacement for IRC.

From a marketing standpoint, Apple managed to turn "The Notch" into a feature. Whether they could do the same with "The Lump" is asking a lot IMHO.

Perhaps (as the author says), the engineers could come up with something more elegant.
That's what a few studies seem to hint at. As with most food stuff studies we need time and lots of replication. And make sure that the food lobbies didn't mess up like what happened with the sugar industry.
No, it would be like if the manufacturer of a certain wheel flipped a switch and your wheel no longer worked.

You cans till right now use a model year 4000BCE wheel if you want to and if it suits your purpose. You decide when your property is no longer useful to you. That is not the case with the apple watch, or with a plethora of other devices out there. The device belongs to the company that made it, not to its supposed owner, if the owner has no say in when it becomes useless.

"Multimodal" models only promise an additional layer of indirection and interpretation from the world through sensors into the same conceptual mechanism. An image is converted to tokens, a sensor is converted to coordinates, and it is all fed back into a correlating model. But this isn't adequate either. The famous dress illusion picture has RGB values closer to gold and white, but the actual physical dress was black and blue. The difference between perception and reality is something we don't have a handle on when it comes to these models.
"Back away from the tribalism." This is not an Apple v Google v Samsung issue.

I'm in no way saying Google or Samsung is better in any way here, and in many ways Apple has improved their repairability scores over the past few years. The reason I highlighted Apple was because they really led the way in gluing down batteries everywhere, but the problem is definitely industry-wide now.

This workflow rocks and is basically the same one I try to use whenever I'm shoehorned into project management. I'm always the weird guy with the index cards and tape and string. (:

> Issue tracking is pretty orthogonal to project management, unless it identifies unplanned tasks out of the expected workflow. Issue tracking is usually much finer grained than project tasks.

FWIW, I tend to punt on even having an issue tracker at all. I find that it winds up being a depository for people to dump things that seldom get looked at, and absent tools to trim and prune the issues for me, it turns out that bubbling these things up as failing integration or acceptance tests is often a better use of time.
> I don't have a degree or any certifications either, due to the same disability that prevents me from going into an office.

Most companies > 1000 employees that were founded before 2000 will have most of their critical internal systems written in Java and/or .NET.

That's funny. I _only_ buy things from Amazon that are not shipped by Amazon.

Their logistics are utter garbage for me - part of it is an urban setting with nowhere to leave things, part of it is that they don't give a shit, and leave things.
If an LLM is trained on just text, then it's internal model can only be based on such text.

I think the 'conceit' of LLM as AI advocates is that this model is just as (or at least nearly as) our own internal model - that the 'simplest' model to match the text is indeed our 'real' model that matches reality as a whole. A bit of a stretch surely!
Yes, anyone here can go out and find an ODM from China to anufacturer them, send a custom version of AOSP to the ODM, slap their brand on it and sell it on Amazon.
Some bitter people here.

Any way you look at it, this is great news, and it sets a wonderful precedent for other manufacturers of all sorts of electronic devices.

Lots of people are happy to be able to keep using a phone even if the battery is a bit degraded, and the fact that Google plastered this all over their marketing material means they have some legal obligation to follow through on this promise (or compensate their customers if they don't).
> The trade-off is that some common programming patterns become difficult to use or are even impossible.

Not really. Strong and expressive typing at its core is simply creating data packaging containers that have defined operations on them. It says nothing about logic. You may be referring to the functional programming aspect that comes with strong typed languages, which is related but not the same as strong typing.

The point is that typing is just a tool that a programer can use, whether its built into the language or ran statically like MyPy. You can take a piece of code in C, and write a test suite on input and output of that piece of code, and accomplish much of the same thing that typing accomplishes. However, in the case of strict+explicit typing, the idea is that you wouldn't need tests in the first place, because your code would be correct by nature of compilation.
She paid $20,000. Her argument is that he stole $20,000 from her since he didn't have a legal right to rent the property but took her money anyway. She has offered to leave if he returns the funds. Analogies fall flat pretty quickly, but the fact is it does seem like this situation is an intended penalty for a civil infraction he committed.
What does China have to do with the evils of the US intelligence community? Why even bring them up? What does potentially seeking influence with people have to do with blackmailing people or other COINTELPRO activities that were used to disrupt civil rights activists?
SEEKING WORK | Remote preferred, Onsite possible (Europe only) | Freelance Fullstack Engineer

Brief: I'm a Fullstack Engineer with over 6 years of professional and close to a decade of personal experience that's available for full- or part-time contract work. I've worked in a wide variety of industries, ranging from e-commerce to real estate.

My CV is available upon request. You can visit my website over at https://www.soeren.codes/ and see some of the projects I've worked on on my own time.

I'd love to hear from you! Send me an e-mail at soeren@soeren.codes if you've got an interesting project lined up.
It’s a great feature, a couple of my group chats have been using it all week.

It’s especially funny if you have nicknames which translate well to little cartoons. I.e. I have a friend who everyone calls frog, so when he tells us he’s at the gym, he gets sent a bunch of “deadlifting frog” prompts. It’s super juvenile and silly, which is why I love it so much.
This is phenomenal. Even if your bounty gets scooped, you're working in public and therefore building valuable YoE with actual stakeholders.

Is there a limit to how low you can go? The lowest bounty I saw was $15.
Perhaps the issue is how people like to solve problems. I'm a huge typescript fan, and I say a lot of the hard work is designing the types. Then the code becomes 'the only thing that makes sense given the types'. There may be some duality at play, where otherwise designing the code is the hard work. And the types become, 'anything that makes sense given the code'

And note the switch from 'only' to 'any'.

Anyway just hypothesising.
No offense taken. I tried to be clear in my phrasing that I don't personally subscribe to the "LLMs are just like us" mentality. Just making an observation as to why people have such visceral reactions to any implication that they might be.

Comments are great, but they should usually explain why, not what.

Good, long variable and function names, along with breaking complex expressions into multiple statements with those nice variables names can help the code itself describe the what of the process. And then static types help describe the what of the types of data even more.

That lets you save the comments for more useful things than an ad-hoc type system, like "// We need to do this because..."

Città della Moda was the turning point.

I lived in Isola for a year around 2001 (piazza Minniti), and the direction of travel was already well-understood. Even the centro sociale squatters knew they were fighting a lost cause. I was back a couple of years ago and it's largely unrecognisable, with art galleries and real-estate agencies in place of cheap bakeries and northafrican takeaways. I got lost, and felt so depressed that I've never been back since.
Oh, that’s exactly what there is: a duty to follow the law insofar as that law was made with the intent of protecting the plaintiff if the plaintiff was injured in that manner in which the law intended he be protected against.

There is no reason that the absence of a penalty under the statute would immunize everyone violating it from per se negligence, unless I’m missing something foundational here.
Yeah, people are parsing the headline wrong. The "problem" here clearly isn't Mickey Mouse doing something offensive, it's Mickey Mouse doing something offensive. One of the most copyright-litigious corporations will definitely take issue with their mascot being flagrantly misused by a company that has the legal staff to know better.
I don't think so. I see this sentiment a lot from people who haven't actually read the book. People often think it's about being manipulative or something. It's really just a super basic guide on making and maintainibg friends.

Like if you already have a group of friends and no worries about keeping that, you probably already know everything in the book. As someone who grew up as the perpetual outcast, the advice in that book was really useful for me. It was essentially cliff-notes for social skills I should have learned at the age of 10 but didn't.

The only "red flag" I see when someone mentions the book is that they were probably very socially inept at some point in the past like I was. They still might be, but they're working on it.

See, you made a good point at first and then ruined it. You are absolutely right about the benefits, but:

>who in the world needs all this replacement batteries anyway

>I'm still rocking a 13 Pro purchased when new

Congratulations, your phone with a whopping 2-years of age still has a good battery. (Though I'm not sure losing 60% a day is really great imo...)

Try living in a world where a $300 phone is a big expense, and now it barely lasts a day when it used to last a week.

1: Some people have phones that are just fine, but have a dying battery. Replacing an otherwise perfectly functional phone just because the battery is going is massive e-waste.

2: Not everyone can afford constantly replacing their ever-more-expensive phones just because the battery died. Even if they can, it's a really wasteful use of money.

Consumers should have the choice. They can get a product with some compromises, but a replaceable battery - or a potentially more durable, more waterproof phone without one.

Of course they don't bother because the demand is a vocal minority. Most people don't care. But the e-waste effects everyone so something does need to be done.
Thanks! https://hnhiring.com/ is also good
I mentioned using tsc with the noEmit flag for quality gating, which is the same workflow you would use.

`tsc --noEmit a.ts` (possibly flipping the position of the flag, I forget if it is sensitive).

That'll check the types without spending unnecessary time compiling with the slower tooling.

From there, esbuild or swc binaries compile the code as desired. They use the same tsconfig file that tsc does, so no need for any extra complexity. They build so fast that you'll not mind having a separate command, I promise.

You could even combine the two into a simple one-liner if you wanted.

Compared to, say, java where you have to fight over maven or Gradle or ant, plus endless config options in XML or groovy or whatever, typescript really isn't much to complain about.

Hell, trying to set up a clojure full stack project is a nightmare of conflicting opinions over tooling between lein and shadowjs or whatever.

Of the big languages, C# is about the only one with a "one true way", and of the smaller ones, they simply haven't yet developed a big enough base to grow contentious enough to have divergent solutions.

Integrating an FPGA with the actual front-end and register files seems so you can invoke it synchronously, with fast instructions at low latency, seems neat but rather complicated. As for an FPGA asynchronously accessing application memory, I tentatively expect CXL with some shared virtual memory trickery to succeed in this space, at least in a couple years when the dust hopefully settles, and then you can do whatever you want.
