True, but the post is about "workers" (who are being abused by management/ownership), who are getting "income". This isn't about the managerial or owner class.

Sure, there's edge cases where founders and early startup workers get paid income and capital (stocks, etc) both, but that's not the scope of the article.

Was searching for this behavior and pleasantly surprised to find such a recent thread about it. I agree with you as well. I think they don’t do it because of what the other viewer mentioned where there is unexpected complexity in the state.

That is exactly what Apple TV+ is – Apple Originals, basically exclusively, and why it has historically been priced cheaper than other streaming services. They have explicitly not been trying to build up a catalog of non-owned movies and shows. The movies and shows you say are available to buy and rent are not in fact a part of the Apple TV+ service, but are browsable in to the Apple TV app.

I think the expanse series is some of the best sci Fi I have ever read. I suspect it is because the show helped my mind paint a better picture of the universe.

It presented the concepts behind several kinds of societies and governments very well, and presented a world where sexism existed but wasn't pervasive, where women were equal and as capable and likely to have power as men.

Oh, and nom-hetero and poly relationships existed, and even had a small impact on the plot, but it was never presented as some "in your face" message. It just was there.

Expanse makes you think about harsh environments, political ideology, realpolitik dynamics between governments, morality of terrorism (by oppressed and oppressors), ethics of behavior in survival scenarios, the nature of existence/what makes someone themselves, and more.

I cannot recommend the series highly enough.

I do this, and it's a little onerous, but it's mostly just half-decent engineering. E.g. every commit has a ticket; every ticket has clear test criteria and a requirement to link back to (also a ticket, sometimes), every PR has a reviewer, every PR is tested by someone, every release knows what commits it has in it. Most of it can be done by Jira (or similar) and Git, and a fairly normal process. Not a Amazon-style 1000 changes a day sort of process, but still.
Source maps are indeed very helpful when they work, but in my experience, often they don’t for third-party modules. This seems to be an ecosystem thing. The documentation for package.json doesn’t mention sourcemaps?

According to this bug [1], even the typescript compiler’s npm doesn’t include source or sourcemaps.

I'd be interested to hear what it was like on the dev team. I'm sure they don't super care about throwing elbows at Firefox now that that fight is won, so maybe the issues are just holdover from past decisions.

But 10 years ago... was it just "don't test on firefox"?

Or "heeey, we just made a brand new feature [that no one else uses] go ahead and use it in mail and maps!"

Or more openly nefarious?
Since we always choose the lightest / least dense possible lifting gas, would it be possibly to use a pure vacuum as a lifting gas? You'd need an insanely strong cover and internal structure, but would it theoretically work?

And if not a pure vacuum about using regular air and then pumping out the air until you reach a partial vacuum that meets your current lifting needs?
The big difference between Romans and Italians under Mussolini is that Romans were much less ethnonationalist, and would eventually accept the people who learnt their language as their own, even allowing them to become powerful politicians.

But indeed, there are fascists elements in Rome, and that's no coincidence - the Fasces from which fascism takes its name, a bundle of sticks around an ax, was a symbol of the authority of the Roman state.

Using LLMs to evaluate other LLMs sounds like a it would be dumb, but LLMs work in mysterious ways. I’ve found this approach useful though. In the context of RAG, using an LLM to evaluate whether a context chunk is relevant to answer a question is a nice complement to using the vector embedding semantic similarity search. Sometimes prompting the LLM gives better results than vector similarity.

> GFiber will be one of the first ISPs to deploy Nokia’s 25G PON technology,

Ah yes. PON. The technology designed to block out competitor access to fiber infrastructure. The technology that has been deemed illegal to use by the incumbent in Switzerland¹ because of that.

Why exactly is this using PON?

Ask HN: How do small companies adopt new technology?
I'm looking for examples of how small technology companies adopt new technologies to their tech stack. What does an R&D process look like for small teams that are shipping new products but want to continually improve their tech stack? How do they identify areas to focus on improving? What sort of processes do they use for changing their stack? How do they get consensus and buy-in for adopting new tech?

There are a lot of examples of big corporations doing R&D where they adopt new technology, but these R&D ventures seem like they're only for developing new products. This examples don't work for a small company.

I don't think a startup's approach is the right model. I'm primarily looking for examples from mature-ish small product and tech consultancy companies with ~5-25 team members who are trying to improve their tech stack.

It seemed like they'd given up in 2016 with the announcement to stop expansion. But it seems like they've got the ball rolling again, probably at a slower pace. They announced last year that they're expanding into 22 new areas.

Recently here in Charlotte NC they have rolled out access to 5 and 8 Gbps connections. More than I have need for (I don't want to upgrade to > 1 Gbps networking haha), but great to see the investment.

That depends on the state, many states are default open to travel in open land and require posting / signage to block free access. Pretty much all trespassing laws require notice first (of which adequate signage counts as notice) and you are not trespassing until you have been told to leave and don't.
I agree with you. My comment is an response to their price hike. Usually when it comes to price hike, there are justification for it. My point is that Apple don't have a justification to increase their subscription pricing because they don't includes many things in the catalog without paying extra. The sub includes Apple Originals which is not wrong with that, it feels they should include more than their original contents to get a better deal out of their subscription.
> What are the top 3 ways in which the 2024 Nissan Versa is better than say a 2004 Toyota Corolla? Better fuel efficiency? Less expensive when adjusting for inflation? More electronic doodads?

Everything.

Safety: Full curtain airbags, LKAS, pedestrian e-stop, better crumple zones, backup camera, blind spot warning

Economy: 40 MPG highway vs 30, better aerodynamics, longer oil change intervals

Performance: Electronic power steering, traction control, full disc brakes with ABS

Features: Apple carplay, cruise control, push button start, power windows/locks, e-parking brake, LED headlights, keyless entry

You really can't even compare a car today to something 20 years ago, and adjusted for inflation the Versa starts at $5k cheaper than that Corolla did new in 2004.
I felt from the start that a $4.99 price point right out of the gate from Apple was going to get increased sooner rather than later. Honestly, I'm surprised it has taken them this long and will probably be going even higher.
On the positive side, the postmortem should make for interesting reading.
You are correct on almost everything, except on the ability on using your access token to spread rate limiting : requests still depend on the application id, so every request will use the app id quota. This is why the Apollo developer basically said that the pricing changes would kill any chance of having the app financially viable.

Regarding why I'm asking everything upfront, I will (partially) blame the library I'm using to authenticate with reddit, django-allauth. It can be made to make user configurable scope requests, but the default adapter just takes a fixed list of scopes from the overall application setting.

I do understand that it would be better if I asked for the proper permissions on demand, but to be honest it was now just a matter of prioritizing new features over addressing valid-but-minor objections that people might have.
What does blaming the exploiters solve?

Educating the exploited or potential exploited seems like a more impactful action if the goal is to reduce the number of exploited.

Ugh, I see PON, my eyes roll. I know it's all the rage for fiber providers since it's cheap, but it's a cop-out and a cheap-out. All new fiber deploys should have home runs.

Otherwise you'll just be stuck with the idiocy of having to manage the worst of both cable in sharing bandwidth in some situations and WDM in having to manage x8 or x16 or even x32 splits and associated power budgets.

FSD's imperfections and supervision do not invalidate their fleet's size and its consequent ability to collect training data and statistics (eventually, deaths per mile statistics). The low fleet size assumption in the presentation is simply toast.

If I had claimed that the 500 million number indicated a certain level of deaths-per-mile safety, that would be invalid -- but I spent 3/4 of my post emphasizing that it did not, even though you keep pretending otherwise.

$90k in NYC is >30% effective after federal, state, city, and FICA.

I consider it a red flag when employers take antagonistic positions, such as “calling my bluff”.

HR treating employees like cattle to exploit is a Day 2 failure mode.
> You'd have to not only mess with the eligibility, but only do so in the vaccinated communities. Because they compared eligible and ineligible children in the unvaccinated communities, too.

Yes, I get that. I'm not suggesting malfeasance here [1]. I'm just saying controls are hard, and these problems pop up in the best studies.

The difference between the clinical trials and this was that the clinical trials were an actual RCT, and this is an observational study. Observational studies almost always have confounding issues.

[1] I do think the immortal time bias is real, however. Whether or not the bias was consistent between groups is a separate question, but I almost don't really care. The fact that they're reporting that older children survive a bit longer than younger children, and not mentioning this issue, is sketchy to me. They either don't understand the problem (bad), or are exaggerating (typical, but still bad), or they're hiding something (really bad).

Honestly stuff like this just makes me exhausted for the state of medical science. You spent a crapload of money on this. Immortal time bias is confounding 101. We know how to avoid it. Do the damned RCT!
> People don't care about the work you do, they care about how you make them feel.

this is true, but also keep in mind having a project that delivers engenders a lot of good feelings.

it sounds to me like the parent poster doesn't get that politics and maneuvering is everywhere, from restaraunts to FAANGs. Some places are definitely worse than others, for sure, but it's an inevitable facet of human nature, and you can't ignore it.

Not playing the game or picking a side still means you're picking a side, and side that is one that will often has less say.

To expand on that, the idea is that a password-protected encrypted volume may have, in its empty space, another password-protected volume, which is indistinguishable from random noise. You can't tell whether it exists or not. Inside that could be another one, and so on.

At least that's the theory, I haven't messed with it to see.

It's not a "defense" it's a very wacky demo and I can't think of a single reason why you'd ever design a component this way. You could also design a React component or Angular component this way, and just like with web components, no one does, because it doesn't make sense.

I can't say why MDN decided to do this, but this is literally the only time I've ever seen a list represented as individual attributes.

> It's not. It only got labeled low-level after the initial failure to attract any developer mindshare

This... just isn't true. Web component APIs are things like customElements.define(), HTMLElement.attachShadow(), HTMLElement.connectedCallback(). These are objectively low-level compared to things that frameworks give you. Branding (whose?) has nothing to do with it.

People always compare themselves to their peers. If you are making 600k at FAANG then yes, you are better off than those making 150k working for a small software company in Pennsylvania, but that is completely irrelevant to you. What matters is that your FAANG colleague, two desks away, is making 700k - he's not better developer than you, is he?

I'd also add that within universities and national labs, survivorship bias obscures these problems to many higher ups. Many simply have no experience with the problems, or even worse, they dismiss the problems as trivial based on their own success stories of climbing the ladder. From their perspective, it is hard to see how these problems could be fatal to your career, since they are the survivors and never have encountered anything fatal to their career by definition.
What I really want to resolve this time issue is a reliable NLP processing toolchain capable of distilling primary sources into a summarized source, something we're very close to achieving these days.
