It is frustrating if you are trying to research an LLC for any reason at all.

A non exhaustive list of examples: an LLC trying to do business with your town; an LLC filing permits for construction or some business venture; LLC bidding on public projects; an LLC filing for eminent domain privileges at the muni, State or Federal level.

Etc etc.

In general, hiding ownership of LLCs is not done for benign reasons.
I’d place all these opportunists on here putting thin layers on ChatGPT in the first camp.
Can the uploader charge for viewing the videos?
The Civil War was not a rural-urban war. Both sides were primarily agrarian; trying to glean modern urban-rural culture war talking points from a war principally about slavery is not going to be productive.

(It’s also worth noting that we have the House of Representatives for the exact opposite reason than you’ve stated. I think you meant the Senate, which is meant to provide an aristocratic and/or rural “check” on the urban hoi polloi.)
I'll join the no-insult-intended train. I offer up the following not to disparage your company (since its clearly working for now) but to explain to others why this is a terrible -business- model.

The problem you have is that the barrier to entry for a competitor is zero. Equally the costs for a competitor are always lower than yours.

As long as you are small and niche, it's OK. But if you "prove the market" you basically allow company-B to do what you do, literally exactly what you do, but without the development overhead. Indeed company-B will likely be founded by an ex-employee of your company.

Let's say you charge $100 for support. $50 goes to the support tech, $50 to the development team. Sooner or later a support technician figures out he can charge $75 per hour, and keep it all.

Equally because you currently charge only for services, not licenses, the day support stops coming in is the day the company closes. There's no reoccurring income, so the developers are the first to go.

Clearly the model -does- work, especially when the project is new and things are moving fast. But it's hard to grow.

Naturally there needs to be some incentive to keep the support staff in-house. Hence various non-Open-Source tweaks to the license to try and take other companies from taking over your turf.
With gnu make you don't even need OBJs for a simple directory in which all the .c files are compiled:

.SECONDEXPANSION

foo: $$(patsubst %.c,%.o,$$(wildcard *.c))
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $^ $(LDLIBS) -o $@

Admittedly you can end up with short, very general Makefiles that look like they were a Prolog program written in TECO. But the advantage is that they are general so don't need to be fiddled with as your project grows.

I make small Makefiles like this that ensure my local build environment is correct for the package, then call cmake.
This pdf (https://f.hubspotusercontent30.net/hubfs/8968533/CS-2%20Data...) says the power supplies are 6+6 redundant 4kW supplies. Assuming 100% utilization (not realistic, but it makes the "math" easy) that's 24kW of "power supply".

If we presume the wafer consumes a large percentage of that (say 20kW out of the 24kW max) and that they are feeding the "wafer" with DC at 1v, then they /do/ need to feed in 20,000 amps to deliver 20kW of power at 1v.

So yes, 20kamp is a lot of current, but it is within the "power budget" the device seems to express in its marketing material.
Yes, but for such a significant contribution to a huge project it's good etiquette to squash on your own before submitting the PR. (Not that it means the PR shouldn't be reviewed and accepted.)

Honestly, I frequently do this for my own personal projects since I'm lazy, but if I'm submitting something to a big open source project I always clean it up first.
What sort of keyhole are you peering through that needs to reflow 72-character text lines?
Very cool. It would be interesting to see applications built on top of Veilid in the future.
The bowl in this video has a flat-ish rim so I expect that there’s no contention but an oversight of the video.
> That leaves you with 200A*240V=480kW

You’re off by an order of magnitude: 200 * 240 = 48000

> If you're willing to pay, you can probably convince your utility to hook you up to three phase power, which is typically reserved for industrial use.

Three-phase power isn’t only for industrial use, (in the United States) small commercial buildings will have a 208v three-phase service drop and larger commercial buildings will have a 480v service drop, or 13.8kV medium voltage drop if it’s big enough. Large enough industrial customers will have dedicated substations.
The 80% derating only applies to 'continuous loads' which are defined by NEC to be anything >3 hours continuously at maximum current.

Any circuit breaker will not trip at the rated current, though. They're designed not to. So, you can run all 48kW indefinitely without tripping a circuit breaker, assuming everything else is sized appropriately (i.e., wire, interconnects, etc).
Facepalm! Thanks.
Not if the tables in the schema that's changing are hidden behind an abstraction layer of views and procedures, they won't.
thats fine by my. using my data to make the model i use better is more useful to me than using my data to sell me ads.
> Just because Shuttleworth thinks he cant be sued by Oracle for including ZFS in Ubuntu with some hastily reasoned shim doesnt mean Oracle wont nonchalantly send his entire company to the graveyard just for trying.

Canonical has been shipping the kernel with ZFS for more than 7 years and so far they have not been sued by Oracle.
For email, it's straightforward but a bit tedious. There are a number of ways to break it into smaller steps. Any approach should include getting your own domain name.
In that case why call make at all?

Where are you getting this information? The consumer business is ultimately a threat to Masimo. Did they have any intention of commercializing these patents? Why did so many employees leave?
The article hadn’t been published (it says so in the article), she escaped retraction because it came up before it was published. In fact it reads as if it hadn’t even been submitted yet and was still being written.

For folks who've never heard the name, Merrill played a very important part in the post-Carson late-night TV of the late 1900s–early 2000s (think Letterman and Conan): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrill_Markoe
Clicking once and having a thing show up at your house is not a concept, it’s a process. There are lots of ways to have a streamlined payment experience which do not violate this patent.
The article quotes the Ukranian president and the Russian president’s spokesman. In my eyes that makes it proven.
Well, I also understand not wanting to call it source available, because that is used to describe software where the source code is available, but the license restricts basically any usage of the source.

I think we really need one or more labels for licenses somewhere in between open source and source available.
It's almost the year 2024... if there's really no better solutions to keep wolves out of ranchers' properties, maybe this is a business opportunity? And if those solutions existed, maybe ranchers could get a tax break for using them? All I know is solutions have got to be possible.
And what if the company is new? Or the company lies about ownership?

You seem to think people should randomly trust any old LLC to be honest with the public. Why?
The freest market is one that consolidates. The highest profits are made by controlling all the resources, after all.
And for all that this does, it doesn’t seem to touch any accessibility remediation problems.
Also understand that you can only use 80% of a circuit's capacity in a continuous fashion, so the usable power for compute is a fair bit lower than it seems.
OK, but please don't post generic flamewar comments to HN. This kind of thing leads to repetitive threads that have happened many times before, which is not the curious conversation we're trying for here.

Why do you think that a District Court will invalidate the parents? The ITC determined they were valid, and they’re a competent specialized court that deals exclusively with this sort of case.
Interesting project, the key take away is that if kelp can migrate to deeper water overnight, they have access to nutrients that typically end up depleted in the surface water. Oceanography-wise, this is not surprising - spring algal blooms in northern oceans are aided by winter storms mixing up the ocean surface and introducing nutrients from deeper waters. However, the climate blurb is a bit odd:

> "The extra kelp can be turned into food, fertilizer, and fuel, or it can be committed to the deep, locking away countless tonnes of carbon for centuries."

If you dump lots of organic carbon in the deep ocean, you end up with a lot of microbial respiration of that carbon (return to CO2) with an equivalent drawdown of free oxygen, leading to anoxic bottom waters (a process exacerbated by all the nitrogen fertilizer being dumped in the ocean from industrial agriculture).

Hence, schemes like providing carbon credits to seaweed farmers who dump their product in the deep ocean in exchange for the ability to sell those carbon credits to say natural gas producers who want to claim their emissions are being 'offset' should be viewed as the dishonest scams that they are.
> And then... then what? It turned out that I never reached out to any of these notes. Most of the useful knowledge is already right there, in my brain. I don't need a second brain for that.

This sort of approach shines when you need to mobilise knowledge that fell out of your immediately accessible memory, e.g. 6 months after having done something for the last time. It’s not very well suited to fields that move too fast and where you never need to look back, because by then the knowledge is outdated and you need to find new solutions anyway.

For me, it’s great because I have a handful of long-running projects concurrently and I switch between them every 3-4 month. Being able to easily mobilise project-specific knowledge after having spent enough time doing something else that I forgot the details is very useful.

To be honest, I would love a LLM that I could use to extract information from my old pile of notes and my pile of scientific papers. I don’t think it would make notes useless, though. On the contrary it would make them much more valuable.
As other commenters mentioned, this has been common practice in app stores for a while now. The integrity and usefulness of any ratings/review system depends on how well cheating is addressed.

None of the reviews platforms have any incentives to address cheating, either because their business model doesn't depend on their reviews functionality (Google Reviews doesn't make Google any money and is unrelated to Google's ad business, so no reason to care about cheaters) or because it's more profitable to take the side of the cheaters and operate a pay-to-play system (where paying customers can moderate/remove/downrank negative reviews) than to operate an honest platform.
That's the narrative I am gathering from the comments here. Is it possible to realign incentives to promote cooperation instead? I understand this kind of restructuring would generate huge turbulence and resistance from entrenched players - but if it's possible to use the patent system for collaboration instead of market exclusion, the resulting net benefit to inventors/researchers, manufacturing and the general public might be worth it.
The provability of a statement depends upon which system you are in. For instance, within PA one can’t prove that PA is consistent but within ZFC one can prove that PA is consistent. We can say of a statement: Statement A can’t be proven in a given axiomatic system but it can be proven in a different system.

Let’s assume the Natural Numbers are consistent system. Let’s collect all true statements in this system and use that collection as our axioms. It is now the case that every true statement about the Natural Numbers can be proven in this system. The problem with this system of axioms is that there is no effective procedure for determining if a statement is an axiom or not. It is not a useful system.

Every true statement can be proven in some system. The incompleteness theorems show that we can’t have a relatively simple set of axioms that are powerful enough to prove all true statements about the Natural Numbers. Every simple enough set of axioms for the Natural Numbers will have nonstandard implementations (models) in which some statements are false in these nonstandard models but true in the Natural Numbers.
I grew up in suburbia and thought it was dull. Then I moved two two different “world cities” which was interesting, but the the constant presence of other people became tiring. I didn’t enjoy living in an overpriced shoebox, relying on public transportation, or competing with strangers for everything, every day.

I eventually returned to suburbia with a new appreciation for it. Moral of the story: people are different, and it’s good that different locales and lifestyles are available.
I'm just putting words into ancestors post, but my guess is that it's disingenuous to congratulate yourself for solving a man made problem. Poverty doesn't have to be a given unless you ascribe to specific world views. You could solve a disease caused by poverty, or you know.. solve poverty so that the need to cure this disease is zero.

No, 12V is already too low for the most power-hungry PC components (GPUs), as witnessed by the trouble nVidia has had with power connectors on the 4090.

If they're going to go to the trouble of coming up with a new standard, it's asinine to base it on 12 volts, which is already known not to be sufficient. They need to use 48V.

Reading through this it seems like a fucking joke: we have an amazing breakthrough in cancer rates not seen in 20 years (35% down).

We should have it down to basically zero by now. This so many resources poured into it.

> Nobody does these days.

Well I don't know if this is a shallow generalization or just observation but in case it's the latter: I am a senior dev with too much stuff in my hands already, and my personal life's list of pleasures comprises of 2 items: sex and sleep. I figured that at 40+ that is VERY NOT OKAY and I am working to change it.

So yes, I no longer will sacrifice personal time to hone my programming weapons.

Try to create a app like behavior in javascript and use a webview in android and ios to wrap your app. We do it like that. You will still have some native parts like push notifications, ads, social logins etc. But your ui render is web. Just make sure you have an app like experience. Doable these days.
No side effects. I was quite healthy in my teen years and early 20s. Not saying I'm unhealthy now, but I don't workout like I did back then. I'm no less healthy than my brothers. 1 follows a regular omnivore diet, the other is vegetarian.

I eat a good variety of fruits and vegetables, but have started eating more processed crap as I've got older and busy with work and life. When I was younger I was really into cooking intentionally healthy meals. Most of my protein comes from beans and tofu. I get asked about that a lot.

I've been vegan for 21 years. Spring of 2002 I started cutting back on meat, slowly went mostly vegetarian over the summer, then vegan that autumn. Initially I stopped eating beef because of seeing some of the health issues my uncle's were experiencing and I attributed it to overconsumption of beef. I don't know if that's true, but anyway. Then reading about antibiotics and hormones given to the animals, I just didn't want to eat that. So I was in the mindset that I wouldn't eat factory farmed meat. I thought hunting was ok. Until I went hunting. Deer and pheasant seasons are early autumn, I think. Hunting both was what made me decide I was completely done with all animal products. My dad got a deer and I helped butcher it. That was some fucked up shit. I went pheasant hunting, shot one, didn't kill it, strangled it to put it out of its misery/not shoot it again and ruin the meat. That shit was really fucked up. So yeah, killing an animal and helping to skin and cut up that animal and another one are what really did it for me. Had I not gone hunting I might have just stayed a vegetarian and maybe eaten the occasional meat. These animals were no different than my pets and I would never do that to one of those guys.
The government is less efficient at serving its stake holders than for-profit corporations.

The government creates the conditions for PGE to be so bad. I’m defecting from the grid this year, PGE’s high prices mean my s system will pay for itself in less than a year and will likely be more reliable.

battery and solar companies saved me from PGE and they can save you. The government perhaps can but likely won’t. Extrapolate for yourself what this means about the world and what organizations should command the most resources.
I've always been interested in this, I wonder how optimised the code was and if they used LUTs (Look Up Tables) as they did in the 80s for 3D calculations on the home computers.

Oh cool they got CrayOS working.

Yes. By partnering with Apple. The employees left to go work at Apple. Which is fine, you can work wherever you want and companies are free to hire/poach whoever they want.

The issue here is not that Apple hired them or that Apple didn’t go through with the deal. The issue is that Apple didn’t innovate but instead infringed on someone else’s IP. If you want to see an example of what Apple should have done, go check out the Garmin patents around pulseox.

Edit: People like to dunk on Garmin for being slow to market, while ignoring the degree to which Garmin doesn’t just rip off patented ideas and instead actually innovates.
You misunderstand. My question was why they bothered to make a real "bin" user to have /usr/bin as its homedir; when, if it had just been purely an issue of shoving some binaries over to the /usr drive, they could have just created a /usr/bin owned by root:root and leave it there; or, if they really cared, created a /usr/root for "a secondary root-user homedir that lives on the /usr drive" and then made a /usr/root/bin.
> An entire parking garage with several EVs in it burned down in Norway. Not a single EV battery pack caught fire.

Details can be found in the fire departments evaluation[1] of the fire, specifically page 28, where they note they did not find evidence of any thermal runaway in any EV.

They also note that cars with liquid fuel often have plastic fuel tanks, which can get damaged due to the heat and start leaking, spreading flammable liquid over a larger area...

> But if you "prove the market" you basically allow company-B to do what you do, literally exactly what you do, but without the development overhead.

If someone can out-compete you by simply cranking the infrastructure handle on your source-code, doesn't that indicate that you're not using your built-in advantage of owning the feature backlog well enough?

Or, put another way, if the entire value of your business is in your source code, and the only thing I need to be able to compete is your code and some commodity infrastructure, then don't give away your source code?
The biggest benefit one gets from notes comes from the mere fact of writing (not reading), when one has to think, write, paraphrase, edit what and how to write, and how this new info connects to the existing knowledge.
I think we're missing the point. Clearly we're handing out access to the database and giving the user the ability to run arbitrary SQL for a reason, so giving them access where they can do "nothing" isn't going to solve whatever need we're trying to solve. The amount of security configuration going on to make this solution viable in any real system seems significantly more costly than just writing something that translates a small DSL to SQL.

Do your windows not have screens? That would allow you to have the windows open even when there's flies. Now if you have bad air pollution/smells (smoke, livestock, city) then screens won't help.
I assumed that the colonies were there to provide the raw materials which were shipped to British factories. The finished goods were then exported to the colonies and other countries.
when sideloading is finally available I don't see how Apple (or Google) would receive any share of developer profits since they can't see or control 3rd party payment api calls made by devs
Unsurprisingly, the answers to that security question including the accepted answer, are full of mistakes. This is such a sad state of affairs.
A lot of these backend features/behaviors are super interesting to read through, especially in regards to the "flame war detector" section.
