What you wrote is mostly true if you're talking about long running money losers, particularly tech companies.

It's almost entirely false if you're talking about a business that's turning a profit, especially over years or (better) decades.

Also, there's an obvious difference between day trading and long-term investing.
If that's true, then it's kinda gross tbh.

> I've tried to eliminate single-use plastic from most of my life. It's incredibly hard.

I’ve tried too, and I agree that it is very hard. I rarely buy packaged and ready-to-eat food products, which eliminates a lot of plastic. But still there’s so much plastic when buying grocery and produce. Buying grains or other items from loose bins means insects, lower quality and what not. I’m happier with the lower plastic though.
I was thinking about buying an electric car when I realized an electric scooter would serve me nearly as well (maybe even better), be 50x cheaper, and I wouldn't need to register it.

Similar to the Israel-Hamas conflict, in many LGBT[...] communities there is a culture of not opposing them in any material way, lest you're automatically assumed to be phobic or bigoted.

The underlying message being "there is no reason to disagree with or oppose us", which is dangerous thinking in social spaces and is not healthy.

I think the major assumption is that collaboration is synonymous with productivity.

Candidly, in my experience, the results of collaboration, a lightweight version of "design by committee," have always come back to bite in the long-run. Primarily the issues are: diffusion of responsibility and accountability (i.e., since we all came up with it, then if it goes wrong it was bound to happen and someone else is responsible for fixing it vs. if I came up with it and it goes wrong, it's all on me) and lack of cohesive vision (i.e., the designs and decisions made are incongruous and lack cohesive vision; they're the result of slapping together everyone's, one could argue what would be in isolation, good ideas, but without the necessary steps taken to connect them altogether in a proper fashion).

If we assume the latter, rather than the former, then all that's increased is the speed of sub-optimal processes. One could even go so far as to say it's mostly theater similar to having everyone in the office: the appearance of work is more important than the actual outcomes of the work.

When everyone's together it's very difficult to get a quiet moment to yourself to really think things through and plan things out thoroughly. Instead you default to a more social, collaborative process.

From my own career, I've found I don't need collaboration often. I trust my ability to gather all the information I need, deferring to and asking for the help of experts that know more than I do, while still having the good judgement to synthesize it together into a cohesive and practical plan. In other words the buck stops with me.

I think it’s telling how you’ve been so well trained to repeat who the enemy is without any consideration of who did that to you.

The real answer is real things aren’t controversial. Nonsense to enrage is also to engage.

> It helps gpt understand larger code bases by building a "repository map" based on analyzing the abstract syntax tree of all the code in the repo.

What I do with codespin[1] (another AI code gen tool) is to give a file/files to GPT and ask for signatures (and comments and maybe autogenerate a description), and then cache it until the file changes. For a lot of algorithmic work, we could just use GPT now. Sure it's less efficient, but as these costs come down it matters less and less. In a way, it's similar to higher level (but inefficient) programming languages vs lower level efficient languages.

> It’s not self dealing if you really love the building

It’s not self dealing if everyone is on the same page. Neumann didn’t hide any of this. From SoftBank. From the public.
> functionally entirely separate from the rest of the universe

It's not really separate, because more things can fall in.

It's also not really separate if black holes may evaporate, in part because it is the outside conditions that determine when (and even if) evaporation begins. There are unsettled questions about whether black holes, even given suitable exterior conditions, fully evaporate; and exactly how to connect what fell into the black hole with what's left after complete evaporation. However, it is the mass inside that gives rise to Hawking radiation outside, so there is some connection.

Otherwise I think you're quite right, particularly about the gentleness of the Weyl curvature (the tidal part of the Riemann curvature tensor) around the event horizon of a large black hole.

"Pass through the event horizon, alive" is the "no-drama conjecture" that is part of the firewalls debate. Indeed, extremely massive black holes should have the least drama in the classical theory which describes black holes in the first place, so what feature of some quantum theory generates extremely high energy particles that we don't find anywhere between the Earth and Moon, or in the Jovian system, etc? "The firewall radiation can only be seen upon crossing an event horizon and there isn't one in those parts of our solar system" is not very satisfying, and it turns out that the arguably best-developed answer to that (by Afshordi/Dykaar/Abedi) is not significantly supported by gravitational wave data (so called repeating damped "echoes" cannot reliably be extracted from the noise) from LIGO, Virgo, and Kagra so far.
Show HN: I built an open source tool to obfuscate app secrets in iOS
Arkana uses code generation to provide your app with its secrets. Secrets are fetched from env vars during Arkana runtime (not your app's runtime), their values are encoded using a salt that is generated on each run, and source code is generated using the provided keys, and the generated encoded values.

During your app's runtime, the encoded value is decoded so your app can use their raw values (the values that were originally stored in your env vars).

This encoding mechanism makes it difficult for attackers to simply just read your secrets in plain text from your app's binary (for instance by using unix strings, or other tools like dumpdecrypted).

I'd appreciate any feedback you might have, be it architectural, devX, etc. It's open source and free to use :)

I have an MBA from over 25 years ago. Did it help my career? Only indirectly. The old adage is true. Only the finance and accounting classes were valuable, the rest of the curriculum was impractical. The marketing classes and organizational classes have shown their age. No one advertises solely by branding and media spend anymore. The organizational classes never imagined the massive gutting and shedding of jobs by large American companies. If I had to do it over again, I would have taken the beneficial classes a la carte and cared not for getting the degree.
So if I assemble a computer for someone, do I have to scratch the logos off everything? Is it reasonable to call the machine "counterfiet" because the CPU says "Intel" on the heat spreader? Or because one of the memory chips says "Samsung"?

Most other manufacturers produce electronics with components from a wide variety of sources, bearing many brand names. What makes Apple components special?

See, this is the "two wrongs don't make a right" approach, which passes moral muster.

The people who don't care about reverse -isms are more concerned about punching up versus punching down, though they also tend to be careful to not define either of those things clearly, so they can be flexible in their social aggression. The biggest mistake they make as moral actors is failing to take economic and social standing as a separate axis of comparison. Not all white guys have privilege, not all minorities live in the ghetto.

I'm not sure what is meant in this thread by “interpreter”. A Scheme compiler that transpiles to C or JavaScript might “interpret” if neither of these systems is available at runtime. In general, apart from student-written course projects, Scheme systems do some level of compilation (e.g., identifying variables), because this is relatively easy to do, and avoids wasting execution time. Most if not all production Lisp and Scheme systems, if they interpret at all, do so by compiling to an intermediate representation, and interpreting that.

I don't disagree with you about breeding fascists now. Though I wonder, in a few years after we do more Trump and things fail to get better, and then we swing back the other way and elect the ghost of Bernie Sanders (cause I really don't know anyone on the left who could impress the disaffected middle-American electorate.) What then?

I guess that's why the far right wing is trying to take over before we have to have elections again.

I'm just curious if swinging back and forth between left and right wing isn't more destructive than just right wing.
If the standard for witty is being set by Elon Musk, this should be totally hilarious if you're a 15-year old edgelord from 1990.
Idk. I worked for a massive company that is as east coast as they come. We'd still get free swag all the time. Usually for participating in events or coming to talks and stuff.

Same thing with the startup I worked for, and the midsize/small company I work for now.

From my experience, this is not how it is outside the bubble of SV.
Following links to related articles gets to an earlier https://physics.aps.org/articles/v16/186 (talking about the weird decay rather than the Nitrogen itself) which quotes the whole multiproton decay process taking 10*-21 seconds but I don't see anything specifically about 9N having a half-life; is that just not yet determined, or is it implied somehow? (I have an at-most-casual interest in the field so I haven't hunted down the paper itself, but even I can tell this is way over on a weird edge of things :-)

I take "hybrid" to mean that the screens included a mix of Apple and third-party components. That seems to be consistent with the article's description. What's wrong with that?

The cables are genuine Apple cables. They have the Apple brand on them (inside the product where they can't even be seen) because they were legitimately made by Apple. But the screen as a whole is not being passed off as an Apple product - unlike your Chanel bags.

I'm not sure about this criticism — the script is written to be as simple as possible and also has a comment about this if you do inspect it as you suggest.

# This is a short script to install the latest version of the sshx binary.

# It's meant to be as simple as possible, so if you're not happy hardcoding a
# `curl | sh` pipe in your application, you can just download the binary
# directly with the appropriate URL for your architecture.

You're also welcome to install it any way you choose! The code is fully open-source, and it has straightforward instructions to build from source.

> A candidate who displayed empathy for the entrepreneur would answer the question about Neumann with something like the following, Horowitz said: "He did an unbelievable thing in that he built something that almost nobody has done, which is he built a consumer brand in commercial real estate." The person might add, "He told that story so beautifully that he was able to raise a gigantic amount of money and fund this incredible growing operation."
I wondered about that. CBP affirmed they didn't make a mistake and then you just never heard about it again.
When I force push to a branch on GitLab with an open merge request, GitLab retains the previous set of commits, and provides an interface within the merge request to compare the current set of commits to previous sets. I love this feature.
Dude I love how passionate you are about this project. I see you in every GPT thread. Despite all this tech there are so few projects out there trying to make large-repo code editing/generation possible.
What's also funny is they've been doing this for many years. I assumed it was common knowledge by now.
This is quite funny. If it weren't for tax (and maybe liquidity in certain situations), this suggests a quarterly "sell everything" day might make sense. You'd sell everything on a friday perhaps, and come monday buy again after having the weekend to freshen your eyes.
Oh man seeing Six Sigma activated some PTSD from an old job. Haven't seen that mentioned in a decade lol
To be completely honest, Neumann reminds me of Ian Schrager. He would run a fantastic club. Somehow, we’re in a world where clubs contain the C suite and are grafted on multi-billion dollar companies.
This is probably not about collisions but about filesystem limitations (max number of files in a directory).
Ah, gotcha!

I thought maybe it was something to do with concurrency, and somehow x is affected by a race condition there.
I can't help but wonder if it's malicious compliance:

* no industry likes regulation (except as a weapon against competition)

* banks previously made billions helping criminals

The way CBP seizures work seems pretty backwards. A similar story happened with Li-Ning where the CBP alleged they were using North Korean labor and started seizing their products and apparently, for whatever reason, the onus moves on to them to prove they are not using North Korean labor, rather than on the government to prove that they are.
> It's a prototype and evaluation board for their OMAP line.

Oh, I see the confusion now. I didn't realize that Beagleboard was OMAP old.

I was talking about Beaglebone Black/Green, which is a 10-year-old design yes, but the AM335x line of Ti chips (while a decade old) seems well supported and working with mainline Linux.

Beaglebone Black/Green seems to be comparable to Rasp. Pi 1 or Rasp. Pi 2, though with far less power consumption, better documentation. I'm impressed by it, though I haven't made the leap into a custom design yet.

-----------

But yeah, I guess I only became aware of Beaglebone around Beaglebone Black era / Sitara line. I always saw them as the "Industrial Rasp. Pi" if I wanted to reach for a more serious project, though I haven't really done any good electronics work back then. I'm doing a bit more of an electronics push these days again though.

I'm more interested in Beaglebone Black / Green because AM335x has 0.80mm pin pitch BGAs, which looks doable on OSHPark 6-layer 5mil trace/space.

More recent Beaglebone Play / AM625 has far superior specs (quadcore + CortexM4 onboard / etc. etc.), but 0.5mm trace is literally impossible at 5mil trace/space.
I’d rather have safety default on with an opt-out, rather than the inverse that C gives you with -Werror -Wall -Weverything -Wyesireallymeanteverything. Compile it again one two different architectures, compile yet another time with clang-tidy and then static analysis with Coverity just to be sure. Run it with valgrind, asan and thread sanitizer.

This is misleading - intentionally using the incorrect definitions of the words in the parent post to construe a lie that plausibly addresses the concern when read by somebody unfamiliar with the situation.

AWS took an open source project (Elastic) and forked it. They did not take an AWS customer's code.
Typically, at my school, the decks were standalone. They included the program, the data, and any control cards (like actual commands).

For a COBOL class, your deck was the commands to compile and execute the program text that followed, and then that program operated on the data cards that followed the program cards.

Then, your output would likely be the compilation listing, followed by whatever output your program created.

Mind, this was school, and these were student programs. And while you could wrap up your deck and drop if off at the computer center to be run, it was likely better to take it to the lab to that had the RJE (Remote Job Entry) terminal which had a card reader and a line printer.

Jon’s submitted there would print out on the line printer, but the printer could be used by others as well, so there was typically a queue of printouts that you had to wait for. But in general, the RJE lab had the fastest turnaround.

I remember my friend playing Lunar Lander. He had the Fortran source code, and would add a new burn card, and run the deck through. He’d go over the output, add another card, and run it again. This was the process, but not necessarily an efficient use of paper.

Now, there were also folks that were not programmers, but rather students and professors using tools like SPSS (a statistical package).

A student assignment deck was typically 1-2 inches thick. Not much code, not much data. But these researchers, they had decks measured in feet. They’d carry them around using small carts and hand trucks. The cards were in cardboard trays. Most of that was data. Largest set I saw was probably 10 feet long of cards.

They took their sweet time being run through the feeder. Just grab a chunk, and put it in. As it fed, pile on some more. No rush, it’s an input device, it’ll wait for more cards as you moved the read cards out and fed more in. But it was an endeavor.

Apple components aren't found in other products, only their own products.

So if a product contains something with Apple logo, and it's not an actual Apple product, the chance it's counterfeit is significantly higher, though obviously not absolute in the rare case of component re-use - which is 100% legal.

It would be impossible to tell if a computer was counterfeit just because it included something with a Samsung logo.

But it would be fairly easy, for instance, to tell a counterfeit Samsung phone if it featured a MediaTek processor. Is it possible someone legally bought 1000 legitimate Samsung phones and swapped out the processor? Sure. And it would be legal.

But is it the most likely case? No.
