But how much of that revenue is profit, and how much of that profit derives from Australia.

Assuming 3bn in revenue, Australia represents 1% of Twitters users, and they have a profit margin of 5%. That means profit is maybe 1.5m. So that's fining them 25% of the year's profit for failing to fill out a form properly.
This is why I'm a huge supporter of a radical English spelling reform. With the computational tools and linguistic libraries available, we could truly create an extremely shallow orthographic English language. Learning Spanish and Russian really illuminated how poor English spelling is. Spelling in English is so hard we even have a contest for it, the spelling bee! There's no spelling bees in Russia or Finland.
Gaslighting and confabulation are very different things.

Gaslighting are deliberate lies with the intent of creating self-doubt in the targeted person. Confabulation is creating falsehoods without an intent to deceive.

When we're discussing naming, it might be a good idea not to throw more misleading names onto the bonfire.
Are they? It seems that the latter matches the former. i.e. for the path `/foo/bar` there are 2 matching routes. One must take precedence, but this router doesn't appear to allow that.

This may just be a syntax thing, I was being loose with syntax, and meant that the `*` would match anything for the purposes of this example.

This is great. One hour? Last time we had layoffs I was watching my calendar daily for weeks! There was no timeline at all. I had anxiety every morning logging into work. I think that was a huge part of the burnout I'm currently experiencing.
Concise Co. of Japan still makes slide rulers albeit only circular ones (https://www.sliderule.tokyo/products/list.php).

One prominent industry that still uses slide rulers is aviation. They use "flight computers".
Ridiculously naive take. And both of these on an individual level are so diluted as to basically be meaningless.

1. An individual quitting at a company where they are one single cog doesn't impact the company in any measurable way.

2. The court system in the west gives an asymmetric level of power toward the corporation, an individual has neither the time, the money, or the ability to navigate an ongoing protracted lawsuit with a corp that dwarfs them in all three aspects.
Too much work, and you have to nail it or else you might get railed for a half-baked dissertation
Something about that doesn't seem right. What about Apple or literally any of the other mega corps that have passed or closed to approach the 1T market cap?
They certainly aren't power efficient enough, the main reason I hear people want PC laptops is they think they're going to play games on them, which is kind of the opposite.

Of course that is self-purchased laptops by young people; it doesn't really apply to cases where a school buys them.
Yes, but you would have to sell it for negative money. The name of this service is “debt consolidation.”
> This is assuming that the benefit is from instantaneous rather than long-term conversions, which is more likely to not be the case for something like a media outlet.

Assuming that Musk/Twitter aren't surreptitiously limiting the reach of media outlets he doesn't like, like they did with the NYT[1]. Ironic, how Musk accused Publicly listed Twitter of "shadow banning" during the manufacturer "Twitter files" fiasco. Long term conversions isn't something media outlets can bank on on Twitter.

Tell HN: Things were in dark ages of development vs. now (bloated)
I became a professional developer in 2010. In the big scope of things not that long ago. Def not the dark ages like the title suggests but hopefully you'll let me slide. At my first job as a professional developer it was me, a UX guy and a boss. Back then we called UX guys graphic designers, he basically spent all his time in photoshop. He would make an image, get the thumbs up from the boss, and then slice that image up into smaller pieces. I'd go off and code the website.

Things grew from there. The UX guy became the graphic designer and we hired an actual UX person. They provided feedback to the graphic designer on how he could make his designs better. Our designs def got more usable, I even liked them more but I questioned how this was a full time job. It seemed like we only needed this persons actual services maybe a couple hours a month.

Where shit really started to hit the fan though was when the marketing lady couldn't get her new website as fast as she wanted it. We had things all geared up and moving along at a solid pace but she wanted it faster. Her answer was that we needed to hire more people. So my boss did just that. This is where the problems begin.

We would keep hiring more and more developers till eventually we had a small team, maybe 6 or 7. From there they decided they also needed a project manager and a program manager and a scrum master. This all happened over the course of years and many projects but the driving factor was always we need to done faster. We started having all these meeting and a clearly defined process. Meanwhile the business just wanted more and more so what did we do? We created more teams, pods as we called them.

All of these teams led to bureaucracy. The need for more process. Meanwhile less got done. No one ever stopped to ask are we actually going faster? I think the most important question to have asked would of been were we better off w/ a small amount of people but possible taking longer for projects? I think the answer is a clear yes.
In Toronto, our mortgage is ½ to ⅔ of the equivalent rent these days. The startup costs for it, though, are killer — and most people's mortgages starting today would be closer to ¾ to ⅞ of rent, not counting the cash downpayment required.
> they should advocate for the disbandment of CPB so their independence would be undisputed

What's the point? Nobody thinks that the Musk fans attacking NPR are arguing in good faith. No matter what NPR does they will keep finding reasons to attack it, unless Elon says otherwise. Intellectual consistency is about last way to describe Musk's flailing changes over at twitter, yet his diehard fans always defend them.
Don't underestimate the difficulty of assembling something you specified as a bunch of parts, even when you work with a known manufacturer of "kits". Training a team to do it more than once is another challenge.

Anyone who has assembled flat pack furniture knows only a little bit of the frustration of assembling as complex a item as a plane.
I've worked for a handful of medical companies, including ones that handle de-anonymized PHI/patient data and/or develop medical devices, both very heavily audited and regulated even in comparison to other medical companies. Using a personal GitHub account attached to an organization on either GitHub proper or GitHub Enterprise was never an issue. Sure we had some folks create a separate account because they wanted to, but there no directive from the IT/security folks even suggesting that, and I'd consider them showing any preference toward not just attaching your personal account a big organization red flag - it means they're just defaulting to "don't do that" rather than actually taking five minutes to understand the constraints and ramifications.
> They don't? Employers cannot fire striking employees. Or fire any that may look like retaliation for union activity.

Who said anything about that? Scab labor is an extremely common thing. How you come to the conclusion that "the company is not allowed to hire other people to replace the striking workers", I'm entirely unsure. For two very popular examples, both in the air travel industry, both pilot's strikes and ATC strikes have had "other people hired to replace striking workers", with varying degrees of notoriety (being at Boeing, I can't imagine you being entirely unaware of either).

> That's simply not true.

Many employment contracts have "no moonlighting" clauses. Only two states specifically forbid them: Washington, and Washington DC (and Washington's policy only affects lower-paid workers) (https://sbshrs.adpinfo.com/blog/7-faqs-about-moonlighting-po... and https://www.rocketlawyer.com/business-and-contracts/employer...)
Researchers are working on solutions for the rest of us. Here’s one concept

That one is not part of everyone’s vocabulary
Honestly, it's all over the map. Depends on the reason for sale and the reason for purchase. They are looking for "synergies" and a very common one "you already have this thing, so you can cut it out of this company after you acquire and use yours". It is very possible that Epic had plans that involved hyper-growth, now realized those are not going anywhere, and is happy to demonstrate that a chopped up Bandcamp is a good deal.

I have literally done diligences where part of our role was to weigh in on how much could be slashed, which is not very pleasant, but like I said, when the growth was dumb in the first place it can be the right call.
>... getting confused by a constant stream of ads for iCloud, Apple Arcade etc. It's sad because most of this poor UX is unnecessary.

UX went from an altruist field around making tasks easier to perform to tricking people into spending money, clicking away rights to their personal data, etc.

It's the logical path of end users being the product. This axiom started around "free" services like Facebook, but now we see it even in expensive products like iPhones and Windows 11.
This isn't surprising, what would be surprising is if NPR blocked inbound referers for Twitter and it had no effect on their traffic. All of NPRs articles presumably get posted into Twitter by someone noteworthy, and that tweet is what goes viral (if any), not the one from their main account.

Now that Musk has recently changed the way unfurls work, I would imagine that definitely affected their traffic.

Doctorow has had a chip on his shoulder about Musk for a while now and I would be happy to go out on a limb predicting that any theories he has about Twitter's demise won't age well. The reason Twitter works is because of network effects, and those network effects are a function of Metcalfe's Law, not the presence or absence of a single account on the platform. Being part of the web, Twitter's network effects are intertwined with the web and their social graph. That's about it. The way to know if Twitter is going down in flames is the degree to which Musk breaks the network effects of the web, or if the exodus from the platform turns into some kind of positive feedback loop. Musk seems much more willing to mess with the former than the latter. (Much of the recent changes are about increasing users and time on site)
I am possibly wrong about small details, and would appreciate corrections.

So when I joined the project, the physical aircraft was based in the USA, but the software team for the autopilot was based in the UK.

For some reason - I think it was the very high altitude capability - the USA considered the autopilot to be munitions.

When I first joined the project, there was this bizzare situation where it turned out to be simpler and easier to occasionally ship the entire aircraft across the ocean, than to send software updates over the internet.

I'm not sure how long this lasted but I was assured it was temporary.
> Apple's switch away from the physical home button to gestures has created a usability threshold for the iPhone that many can't cross.

Funny you mention home buttons being more usable. I've got mild wrist pain (not RSI levels fortunately), and I find the pressure required to press it disturbingly high, often resorting to using the assitivetouch button instead.
Great work! I love the use of simple techniques like normalized entropy and cosine distance to reveal what the model is "thinking". The example with random number generation is very cool! I actually managed to get that example to work by telling it that it's allowed to use replacement, AND by giving it an example of repeated numbers (just telling it that it can repeat the numbers won't work). Then I get perfect uniform distribution on each step (spikes are all same length). I can definitely see how something like this could be used to guide prompt engineering strategies.

Originator sells online to customer and transfers copyright: shorter protection applies, since the originator no longer owns it.

Originator transfers work to LLC: shorter protection applies. You gain LLC benefits for a shorter copyright term.

On HN these kind of askHN topics tend to get a lot of "shooting from the hip" comments because so many people recognize the feeling, know how bad it is, and genuinely want to help by describing what worked for them previously. People who don't recognize the situation will simply not comment. So yes, most people are OK.
Since I can't edit that other comment: Look at this

https://www.phoronix.com/review/apple-m2-zen4-mobile

and some other random google hit for zen4 vs m2 (geekbench & passmark)

https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/apple-m2-pro-vs-amd-ry...
https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/apple-m2-max-vs-amd-ry...

The trends seems to be that heavily multithreaded benchmarks seem to do better on the amd machine, and one could argue that the m2 + linux benchmarks aren't quite right due to power mgmt, which is why some of them are run with different governors. And one could argue the 7945hx is a bit big for a laptop, but people have repeatidly shown that hard limiting the TDP by 1/2 or so only takes 10% or so off the top of line per. So, its not at all clear that apple is leading the CPU field at this point. I have a smaller zen based machine that can easily pull ~15H with light usage under linux, so the incredible battery life of the mac's isn't unreachable on the amd either. I personally suspect a large part of the poor battery life on amd/windows machines is largely a windows problem (and on some machines a firmware issue, or the use of nvidia graphics).

So, this isn't to say that the mac isn't a good machine for macos, just that they picked a good time to launch a product, and people now have this idea that their product is world beating, and while its better than much of the trash at your local big box retailer, there are a lot of products in the x86 space. And particularly if your a linux user your going to be alot better served staying away from the mac.
Well no, giving the same money to everyone should essentially compress the income spectrum, if the money is largely funded by progressive income taxes (as is usually assumed).

Richer people would end up worse off since the UBI would be less than the extra they'd pay in income taxes, but poorer people would end up better off.

Though I agree with someone elsewhere pointing out the issue with housing demand. As long as supply is rather severely constrained, a lot of the money may simply flow to landlords.

> mystified by folks who are interested in making the leaderboard or even solving AoC puzzles with AI assistance

I think it defeats the purpose of the AoC to use AI, but I can imagine for some people it's a different game to see how they can use a screw (gaming term) to circumvent the system.

On the other hand, there may be some value to learning how to apply AI tools as a solver. If test cases are available for a given problem space, and AI can be applied to build code to meet those "requirements", then it is probably a skill we should be learning.

While I don't believe people are going to play fair here, it would be nice if AoC submissions had an [AI-assist] checkbox. Then there could be two leaderboards, and the AI folks could still have some good competition with each other.

Ultimately, the AoC leaderboards are unfair as they favor people in timezones that fit the release of each "day". So being on the leaderboard isn't really something that many people can do, even if they are brilliant problem solvers.

AFAIK Sac is not a sequel nor a closer adaptation, but an alternative timeline.

I grew up with the original movie that I watched at the cinema and never developed a strong attachment to Sac for that reason, it is good, but IMO it's not better than Oshii's version, on the contrary it lacks the poetics and the dreamlike aspects of the 1995 work.

p.s. Oshii also directed "Urusei Yatsura Onrī Yū?" which is IMO the best Urusei Yatsura movie even though it doesn't closely follow the manga, exactly because of Oshii talent with the dreamy stuff.
Oh totally and this is exactly what I mean.

I've listened to Chris and am a huge fan of his. The depth, experience, and love he puts into POE clearly demonstrates a generalist who gets it. Chris is a linchpin.

This is exactly the kind of people Blizzard lacks. They used to exist but they pushed out many of the generalists for the factory model of specialists and haven't really recovered since.

That doesn't mean they don't make decent games given the talent of the specialists in art and development, but the game design itself really requires a broader individual or group to bring it together.

Thanks for share.

It's always been very clear in their Terms of Service (which obviously everyone reads carefully...):

The third bullet point at https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t... --

> One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine).

This is the primary reason why I have only ever used my own personal account for work stored at GitHub. If a company is expecting its employees to use a separate work GH account, one assumes that company is planning to pay for all those accounts for its employees.

The question was about offering multiple versions of the resulting statistics summary. Based on various starting dates, theories and such - something like output that could be explored or dialed including dialing which CPI method to use. That would explode the amount of reporting. It's not about data collection.
say you're an artist...you have songs to sell, and songs you want to stream for exposure. Currently - you're paying bandcamp, and soundcloud to host your music. One thing that really rubs me the wrong way is sondcloud charging musicians to host content....basically they're charging content creators - who if they walk - would have no product.

What if there was some kind of system where the music being streamed was locally hosted, or cloud hosted, or a combination (torrent technology still exists). Some artists dont have that many views - as their music is niche - some kind of polymorphic model which starts hosting locally (somehow preserving security) and can handle 4-5 views a day - and morphs to cloud with some kind of grace period for payment if there is some spike in traffic. Im talking out of my ass here in terms of tech feasibility.

The service provider - you im guessing provides the system/template by which the content is uploaded, as well as the transactional mechanism....a focus on individuality (some kind of canva style templates avalable) artists can custom skin their pages, pay a single low fee to get access to this. As Steam has shown - paying is not a barrier, ease of use and utility is. A huge weakness of bandcamp and soundcloud is their "look" - they both look aweful and dont exude anything related to artistry.

You need a community though - and traction. How do you deal with legal issues - because people WILL be uploading copyright infringing content. Just recently FL Studio (one of the widest used DAWs) has packaged DMUCS-4 or similar right inside the DAW...meaning - it's as easy as already having a sample in your music session which you've chopped - zero friction from idea to vocal/or other infringing material to be added to a song.

This is a pretty scatterbrained post - but im not sure what the nature of your intent is...it sounds wholesome, but i dont understand how infrastructure of this kind can be non-profit and cloud?
It feels like we're in the transition phase where parts of the open internet are being "attacked" and dismantled by either AI or simply greedy capitalism.

Missing the point. If Musk's companies are no more "state-sponsored media" than NPR is, than it's hypocritical to label them differently than NPR.
Why not just tax the inputs? You dug some carbon out of the ground? You moved some carbon in through the border? You get taxed heavily for each tonne. Feel free to pass along the cost to the people who burn the stuff or dump it into the landfills. Use the tax to subsidize purchase of renewables for customers.

Cleaner, more equitable future awaits.
Ask HN: UBI is immoral utopia – prove me wrong
1. Money is an equivalent of value that people trade with each other.

2. Value is something to be produced by people, i.e. something that requires work to be done (even if by pumping oil, or setting up AI systems, or protecting oil from neighbouring tribe...)

3. Why those who do the work would just pay for free loaders? Why is it considered to be moral at all?

And why being a free loader (assuming you are capable of doing work) is not immoral from any position?

On the most general common sense level, regardless of your political views or economical system...

The business model of linkedIn is a bit messed up. It pretends to offer something to you, the individual. Yet you are not paying for the site, so you are part of the product not the customer. The real customers are companies (advertising) and recruiters (self-described raw meat to be had). However, linkedIn seems to have messed up with that business model as well. Because recruiters wants recruits - not just a mailing list of people who are not interested. This leaves only the advertisers, thus turning even more recruits from visiting the site, therefore making the site less interesting to recruiters. A downward spiral, really.
Recent offerings of linkedin Learning seems to be attempts to mitigate this but at the core of the problem really is that the site offers very little value to recruits. Maybe there are some smart business model people around that could fix that, who knows. The space is ready for dis-ruption.
Theoretically it stands to reason that the person might be able to avoid being personally liable for any debt. But it’s worth remembering that collecting a debt from an entity is often far less cumbersome than collecting against an individual. For example, the LLC has no homestead; none of a corporation’s profits are protected wages.
