That wasn't the CFO job though. They still had to be competent to advance.

I've gotten jobs through people I know, or referrals. I've tried to hire people I know (because I know they can do the job). But I've rarely seen an incompetent person hired because of who they knew. It does happen, but usually it's just hiring known competence and not cronyism.

> Twitter is dead. Elon bought the scraps to short cut early network effective that is impossible to do otherwise.

He didn’t buy the scraps, he bought a whole ass company. Scrapping it happened afterward.

If he were smart he would’ve kept the twitter name going and launched the X “everything platform” alongside using the same accounts like Instagram/Threads. But maybe even put it inside the current twitter app, since they still don’t have any new features to make a separate “everything” app out of. Things disconnected from “tweets” like direct messaging could’ve been immediately reshuffled into being X features.

Repurposing the blue checkmark with preferential tweet promotion could’ve been launched as paid bonus for “X Pro” or something, maybe causing less kerfuffle about charging for twitter.

But that’s just my opinion as someone who bailed on social networks years ago, who knows if it would’ve gone better.
Those were the industry estimates of their losses, at launch time; but you’re right, they probably were able to lose less over time. However, they also had recalls which made things worse.

Apparently their new platform is supposed to focus attention on decreasing the price of production so they don’t lose money on every platform vehicle they sell —which quite obviously would not be sustainable.
Yes, I believe it did used to be better, I feel like I'm fighting the damn thing now.

Which is why I don't understand the reason behind living in suburban areas where houses are far away from each other. If anything happens to a neighbor, others would probably never find out, and it takes a long time for ambulance to get there.

On a side note, I wonder if Apple Watch can detect this kind of events and report that to 911 immediately. Even better, can Apple Watch "predict" such fatal events based on data of millions of users who've had similar incidents?

Exactly. And it always only ever benefits those at the top.

I am of the opinion that good business requires leaving money on the table, sometimes lots of it. It is the slack in the system that keeps so many happily employed and maintains resilience in the network itself.

Thank you for your response. I think that's just a general aspect of learning. The more time you spend thinking about something is more likely to result in it staying in your memory. Additionally, when trying to piece things together rather than having something premade for you in ChatGPT, you often have to rewrite code over and over again to achieve the goal you want. That gives you more practice.

In the states at least, there are barely any $20k cars left, those people are just in the used car market now. China, where no one want to buy used cars, has plenty of even $10k EVs. If the USA and China ever drop car tariffs…and USA safety standards are revised a bit, those cars could be sold here.
Close, the whole point of docusign is to avoid all of that by, one, paying docusign to solve those problems, and two because docusign is a "neutral" 3rd party who has good housekeeping records compared to "Opensign" where a self hosted sleazy hacker may decide he wants to fudge the datestamps on the signatures etc.

This is probably going to be a bit of a mini rant, been thinking bout this for a while (10 years in fact).

> Although it is physically impossible for the single guard to observe all the inmates' cells at once, the fact that the inmates cannot know when they are being watched motivates them to act as though they are all being watched at all times. They are effectively compelled to self-regulation.

This is the fundamental idea of the Panopticon, and you see it baked into parts of the modern surveillance State as well. But outside of some workplace and carceral contexts i don't think its actually the direction we are headed. The spooks want the power to actually use the data surveillance gives them, they are not really interested in social control as far as I can tell. At least not yet.

True, most of the data hoovered up by the "Intelligence community" is almost never actually looked at with human eyes, but they are actively trying to work towards building a system whereby all that data is still analyzed and used, or quickly searched with just the right keywords.

The panopticon is useful for illustrating one of the many side dangers of surveillance (namely that it instills fear and stifles expression) but it does not cut to the core issue: Mass surveillance drastically upsets the power balance between the government and the governed.

One might use computational irreducibility to says that the only way to predict your behavior is to observe your behavior. Any system that could predict you must first recreate you. For those that see determinism as undermining free will, this gives one way to conceptualize the idea that you have ownership of your choices despite determinism.

Nobody wants to filter bias. Nobody. What they want to filter is content that annoys them. They call it bias because they don’t know what bias means.

Also “objectification?” There is no such thing. It’s not possible to remove a person’s agency with your words. When people say “don’t objectify people” they mean something like, don’t express disrespect for people.

"so we'd better do nothing"

The idea that there is a 'we' and that 'we' 'better do something' is the very ideology that got us here in the first place.
Erich Honecker has been on a trip abroad and returns to his beloved Berlin. But on approach they notice something is off, the traffic is non-existent and the control tower won't answer their calls. Anyway, they land and drive out of the airport. But not a soul to be seen. Finally they get to the site of the wall where a huge gaping hole has been chopped out with sledges, hammers and chisels and apparently anything else that has a handle, tools are lying around discarded. Befuddled Honecker exits the vehicle and walks around for a bit, then he notices an envelope taped to the side of the wall with his name on it. He opens it and reads "Honecker, du bist der letzte, mach bitte das Licht aus.".
This is an incredible idea actually.
The fries and the arbitration are unconnected. The missing context that is the terms and conditions for using their app is important for understanding what's happening. You can't claim these are "two very critical components of what McDonalds is doing" and then leave out the critical detail that it's tied to the terms of service of their mobile app.
> I don’t object to them doing anything they want, but if you tag yourself as an “altruist” (effective or not) then other people’s opinions and perspectives are at the very core who you are (or pretend to be).

I don't understand that. You can eg measure relatively easily and relatively objectively how many people die from malaria and how many life years that cost.

This is incorrect (outdated). In the NextJS conference, they demoed interleaved client and server code.
That Wikipedia article is confusing to me, because I’m really used to “region” being used to refer to type-system-level allocation tracking, Tofte&Talpin style (even if the T&T hope of inferring everything didn’t really work out, and the Rust tradition decided to rename the concept to “lifetimes”). “Arena” seems to be a more common term for a purely runtime construct.

"installing the app" is a critical component to the story, which isn't mentioned in the headline. It's pure clickbait.
Is it all design-patterny OOP?
True. Someone here in another comment has already pointed out that this project's CLA demands that all submissions have to be under the MIT license! This seems shady and can be perceived as an attempt to "steal" code in the future (MIT licensed code can be incorporated into xGPL license code, but it doesn't prevent the original license holder of the xGPL product to close source the product in the future. If the contributed code was also AGPL, the project managers would have to get permission from all submitters to close source a project or would be forced to remove their code from the product).
I don't think I understand the question. I open the applications side by side as you would do on a normal monitor of any size.
I once towed a broken down Trabant out of the corridor between Berlin and Poland. Not quite legal, but so what, they'd have been there for hours otherwise. Afterwards I got arrested for my trouble, but the funny bit is that the owner of the Trabant said that his car had never gone that fast before :).

I could make a lot more as an employee, it's just not me.

That international organ trade still operates as a black market. So it's hard to compare that with being less picky about organ donors.

The very pdf you linked to even mentions 'Reducing U.S. Demand for Trafficked Organs' as one of the policy avenues to pursue to help combat trafficking of organs. Being less picky about donors in the US seems exactly like what you'd need to do to reduce that kind of demand.

You might also want to look into the situation in Iran, where financial compensation for organ donors is legal.

You can't because (among other reasons) the responses may contain naughty words-- you can't even read HN or most amateur radio forums over amateur radio without violating the regulations. You also cannot use standard software over the radio due to the mandatory encryption (or inability to do authentication without encryption) which is ubiquitious in software designed for use on public networks.
This looks to be a big deal for vector database hosting costs. The pattern of moving away from hot ram towards algorithms that efficiently leverage ssd storage is a winner every time.
Yeah, that's what would give me pause about going the same route; that sounds gross to me, because like, how do you ensure windows are all the same size? And it's just weird to me to have things not expanded and snapped neatly to the edges of the screen.

A lot, you just never hear about them outside of the work they’re doing.
Intel has been a one-trick pony for ages. Intel's advantages come at the cost of power, the need for active cooling, and the fact that code for ages has been optimized for x86.

What people don't often consider is how poorly Intel's offerings age. Intel prioritizes speed over safety, so generation after generation has gotten slower and slower over time due to all the software-based mitigations that are needed, and Intel has shown zero indication that we could believe anything is different now.

Also, they intentionally cripple their products. It's 2023, and pretty close to 2024, yet the N100 platform only supports up to 16 gigs? Seriously? I have a number of AMD Athlon AM1 systems from 2014 - almost a decade old - that support 32 gigs. Ever run a SearXNG instance? 16 gigs is fine, if you don't plan to run much else.

Sorry, Intel, but you just aren't relevant in the low power space. I'm more than happy with my Orange Pi 5 (which, incidentally, has a 32 gig version).
They were saying guards are a crude form of type-checking, not intrinsically crude.

Really they are a perfectly regular form of type hinting--as is pattern matching in function heads--when being used for no other purpose than to ensure the correct type is passed at runtime.

Incorrect in multiple respects. The molar mass of N is 14.006747 g/mol, while ammonia is 17.03052 g/mol. Gas expands to fill the container, so it's only worth discussing in mass terms.

It's rate of production over the area of the catalyst. Put another way, that's 1.5 ± 0.2 mmol/m²s or 25.5 ± 3.4 mg/m²s.

24 hours of production over a catalyst with an area of 1000 m² would create 25 ± 3.4 t. That's about the product weight of a typical full cold / cool towed trailer tank sent to large-scale customers. A commercial ammonia refinery would need many multiples of this area to be economically viable.

Where are you getting $5K for a 30mm round?

Russia still hasn't destroyed any Gepards yet, so I don't see why they'd be able to successfully attack Skynex. And Russia hasn't shown any ability to "swarm" anything. At most, they've used an Orlan to spot for a Lancet. And if they can't fly Orlans around, they won't spot the Skynex system for artillery fire.

Also, the Shaheed drones from Iran aren't cheap. They're easily several thousand euros. And there's no indication at all that Russia has produced 200K + Lancets. Russia simply doesn't have the industrial capacity for that, or artillery rounds.

And Germany doesn't need to be the only partner with the US in providing artillery rounds. All of NATO is doing so, and if you think that North Korea and Russia can out produce the US and the EU (not to mention Japan and South Korea), you've been reading too much Russian propaganda.
Docker is great, with docker volumes I can move things between different machines with ease. Do pretty much everything with docker compose these days. Also it doesn’t clutter up my base install, and it’s a lot lighter weight than a virtual machine.
