This seems like a huge problem for startups.

Like, the whole point of a startup is (often) to get bought by a big player.

But what if the big players learn all they can from due diligence presentations, then poach your tech and talent, and when you complain, it turns into a drawn-out court battle they win because they can afford $billions in legal fees but you can only afford $10's or $100's of millions?

Is there a counter? If there is no counter, why does VC exist at all? If the counter is "don't spill the beans to big companies looking to buy you out," how does any startup ever get acquired?
This is giving me the idea to check a NeoVim ActuallyPortableExecutable containing my NeovimRC into my Dotfiles git repo. Would be very handy to be able to SCP it to servers in an SSH pre-command & always have my setup!
What is this clickbait doing on HN?

The OP is about an accident involving a pretty dumb factory-floor machine a few years ago.

The use of the word "attack" is very disingenous.
True.

I should have added: I also dislike being manipulated. I fail silly tests at work because I find them demeaning. If you want to know what I do on the job, drop by and watch.

This is relevant to psychological evaluations because the tests are so silly and contrived, and go on for so long, that I lose patience with them.

Sorry, can you provide a link to the official list of things that are okay to steal?

Are taxes and parking tickets on the list? I feel like I shouldn't have to pay those.

> Pirating media does not deprive anyone of anything. And no, pirated media does not equal lost sale.

What about software? Should we not have to pay for that either? What about the software you make a living writing? Is that exempt from the list?
This only lists first moments, but Adam stores estimates of first and second moments.
Some ideas (especially software) move quickly, and you can implement them in an afternoon. Others, like nuclear power, can take ten years just to break ground on construction. It would probably be quite discouraging to innovation in heavy industry if patent protection expired before the first mover could even launch a product.
And annoyingly, I don’t think there’s a way to tell `make` that a particular `Makefile` should be built with multiple threads by default. So you have to specify `-j` every time.

Yeah, the current model works so well that 860,000 Italians emigrated from Italy in 10 years [0]. And their favorite destination? The UK [0]. I guess UK's lack of workers' rights is better than the Italian model for these emigrants at least...

If you look at the north and south sides where there are large swathes of green residential neighborhoods, you can see they are regularly divided by blue commercial corridors along the cardinal directions. Chicago's grid design was adapted from the original Northwest Ordinance, which divided the land into square mile sections. Those blue strips are one mile apart, and in denser neighborhoods an additional blue strip exists midway at the half mile mark. This organizing principle is what made Chicago a city of neighborhoods, since each section or quarter section is bounded by commercial thoroughfares on each side, and the neighborhood turns inward. The section line and half section line thoroughfares are wider roads which permit more traffic volume. I think it's a good compromise between facilitating traffic flow and also isolating it from the contained neighborhoods where the bulk of people live.

As far as freezing the zoning in place, that's not really true as downtown areas were once like the neighborhoods and were subsequently upzoned as density and desirability increased. The original zoning plan is intact in the neighborhoods because there just hasn't been a desire or need to upzone them (yet). Chicago is known as a relatively pro-development city which is flexible on things other cities are inflexible on.
If the Rabies virus, or cancer, "beats" the vaccine on a significant scale, then it matters little what it is called because you will probably be dead in short order.

A long wall of obfuscation and pharmaceutical industry apologetics that can be trivially dismissed by simply pointing at myriad other vaccines that were also publicly-funded, are not constrained by IP, and saved millions of lives.

Your last point is also hysterical because yes, the research needs massive investment, the state provides it, and then allows private companies to run off with it and charge them again for the very thing they made possible in the first place. It’s about as insane and corrupt as could ever be imagined.

I’ll also highlight that Cuba developed a highly effective COVID vaccine as a poor country, under extreme sanctions, and shared hundreds of millions of doses to other poor countries, which further demonstrates what you claim to be untrue.
I don't think we can ever get truthful reporting of auto accidents, because ever wreck I've ever been in involved the other side not being truthful at some point.
The largest company you mentioned outsourced the manufacture to factories like Foxconn. A common pattern of those "upstart" is they are just a different thin wrapper around some other factories, with a crappier spec but able to sell the BOM with higher prices.
In terrestrial environments, similar things have been done with poplar trees:

Grow extremely fast and fix carbon in wood, absorbing excess nutrients along the way. IMHO every cash crop farm should stands of poplars or willows on their borders.

No. Judge Carr is too smart and too crooked to leave any trace in the 5th Circuit Court.
Retained mode was deeply unpopular even back when it was supposed to be the flagship API, for good reasons (it was slow as hell), so the games that relied on it for support can literally be counted on both hands.

That aside, the only other old game API that I can think of that's gone for good is DirectPlay, which generally means no multiplayer for games that depend on it as the only option, but otherwise doesn't affect them.
Optimizing Raku Programs with Zig
TorrentFreak is a news site, not a site that enables torrenting per se. That said, your analogy is also flawed: this is not a gunpowder accident, it’s one merchant turning the cannons on the other, and the complaining party is the only one that has been anti-cannon the entire time.

Hmmm, if someone has another "full time" job then they're being dishonest with you and should be treated as such.

Rewarding dishonesty doesn't seem like a wise plan.

Not sure why you're equating romantic relationships to the workplace, as they're completely separate domains with no cross over of "monogamous" with "full time employment".

Hopefully no-ones been playing with your head to make you think otherwise. :/
Is this really an issue? So far I didn't care much about close or its synchronization. Isn't just calling CLOSED good enough? Do we really have to be exactly sure when CLOSE was called? If it was an issue I would rather do without CLOSE.

EDIT: or maybe just allow CLOSED guards in WITH, similar to SEND or RECEIVE, like

WITH
SEND(TxChan, text) DO
| RECEIVE(FailChan, fail) DO
| CLOSED(FailChan) DO
END

But I think CLOSE makes everything more complicated without a clear use; I mostly added it because Go has it.

EDIT2: yet another idea:

WITH
SEND(TxChan, text) DO
| ok := RECEIVE(FailChan, fail) DO
END

where ok is a BOOLEAN variable and the assignment is optional; looks a bit strange but allows the same closed handling as in Go.

Really?

The term gerrymandering comes from a district that was drawn so convoluted that it looked like a Salamander.

If you want fair elections, without districts being gerrymandered, just draw rectangles with about equal populations and be done with it.

It’s sad how much our local governments main job is to try and freeze everything in place and prevent change.

That's not really what the local government's main job is supposed to be. Local government is supposed to be a venue for regular people to participate in the kinds of everyday decisions that affect their lives. But then it ends up mainly representing local property owners and developers who are its most interested (in the sense of stake or investment, not curiosity) constituents. It is these special interests who try their hardest, not necessarily to prevent change, but to protect and grow their investments.
The difference is that apple is and always was, explicitly a closed platform. Take it or leave it.

Google on the other hand, tried to market android as an open platform with eg many OEMs producing hardware for it, but the reality is that they are anything but.
Pirating media is not stealing.
right, when another app store takes off on the platform then their rules would apply.

I am mostly thinking the medium term with alternative billing + existing store.
Thank you. I suspected something like that actually, but didn't have time to check.
That is because American zoning is often use-prescriptive.

Japanese zoning is pretty easy to visualize because all zoning types are defined by intensity level, where high intensity zones also allow all lower intensity uses. So rather than a series of venn diagrams, the structure is more like a pyramid.

When I was in high school (early 2000s) this got rereleased in theaters. My friends and I went to the movie theater hoping to see something else but it was sold out. I convinced them to give this a shot because I had heard it was a classic horror movie.

I proceeded to have one of my favorite movie going experiences as a bunch of teenage boys who would rather be punched than be considered frightened slowly went from bored to unnerved and finally freaked out. It was great.
DirectDraw is an incredibly simple API (it doesn't even have 2D primitives - just blitting rectangles of pixels from one surface to another). AFAIK the fallback is basically doing that in software - since this is plenty fast these days - and letting the compositor handle the actual screen update. There's no reason why this would result in 30 FPS even on 20-year-old hardware, and indeed I regularly play a DirectDraw game from 1999 on Win11 without such issues.
I believe the closest counter is a breakup fee. Not a perfect solve, though.

My answer to this after reading the question was 1, because by definition it is one revolution. So I thought that was trick, and the answer essentially is none of the above. But there is a lot more nuance here than just that with multiple definitions of revolution versus rotations, and sidereal time is where this answer can get weird.
make is very useful. The idea that things depend on each other and are built as a hierarchy is important.

But it is the opposite of beauty, or elegance, or organization.

Honestly all the millions of man months that have gone into writing makefiles should have gone into making make more usable.

for example:

all the implicit rules in this article? Nobody¹ uses them, they should just be explicit.

You shold explicitly distinguish between a target and a file and a directory. don't let them depend on each other helter-skelter.

indent, tabs, spaces. what a mess.

requiring continuation lines and juggling return codes?

macros that break with whitespace?

I could go on, but ugh.

I actually like cmake better than make. Just having IF statements and a flow makes things more understandable. But yeah, you trade one set of problems for another.

look up "modern cmake" and you'll see the nitty-gritty between nice theory and ugly practice.

The price range really varies. But just for the sake of giving an example: Mad Men season 1 is just $4.99 on Apple TV. Some newer shows on Prime can easily cost $4-5 per episode.
I think what many people misunderstand about physical exercise is that it only works if you pair it with quality recovery.

You need quality food with good mix of macro and micro nutrients at a right time. And you also need good sleep and low life stress.

If you don't eat right or don't have good sleep or you are already in high stress (for example because of your job) then the results from your exercise will be limited.

Also, another point is that training is targeted exercise. You plan for the right kind of exercise, when it is good for you. Even if your activity does not seem like planned a lot like hiking -- you still plan for the hike to happen when you feel like doing it and you choose hiking that will satisfy you physically (not too much, not too little). When you do activity at work you rarely can control what you do and how much of it.

The files clearly weren't Git commits at the time they originally written, as Git itself was only created in 2005.

Someone put them into Git much more recently, and edited the commit date to whatever they guessed would be historically accurate (hopefully it was a good guess based on supporting evidence).
That’s why all these programs land these improvements - the performance optimizations were needed. It gets tricky of course because a performance optimization you needed at one time may no longer be needed as HW perf increased or may even be a penalty as HW architecture diverged from the target one that was optimized for.

That's a great way to fail hardware attestation. It makes my bank's app assume I'm a fraudster and refuse me service.

Google absolutely deserves to be lumped in with the likes of Apple because of stuff like this. They sell people "open" systems and then they punish them when they "tamper" with the system.

Unfortunately it still doesn't mention "rate limited" accounts[0], which is extremely confusing when it happens to you. It's happened to me on this account, I can't comment more than 5 times per some arbitrary period - I'm guessing 24 hour UTC.

No explanation or information is given - you don't even know until HN seems broken and you go searching. dang mentioned that's something they'd like to impove, but given the slow movement of HN features, I doubt it will.

Note that none of this is meant as a slight on dang - I respect the work he does and really like the site, but it doesn't make it less frustrating. The result will be me rolling a new account (against site guidelines), as I have no other privacy preserving way of handling the issue.

I don't know about GP's view, but to me this does seem like a criticism:

"Women have a long history of being depicted as technical objects in computing... gendered assumptions about the characters of Alice and Bob have been read into their fictional lives. Images of Alice, Bob, and Eve depict the three as in love triangles, with Alice and Eve alternately portrayed as disrupting one another’s blissful domestic life with Bob. Visual depictions of Alice, Bob, Eve, and others used in university classrooms and elsewhere have replicated and reified the gendered assumptions read onto Alice and Bob and their cryptographic family, making it clear that Bob is the subject of communications with others, who serve as objects, and are often secondary players to his experience of information exchange. Thus, while Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman used the names “Alice” and “Bob” for a sender and receiver as a writing tool, others have adapted Alice and Bob, in predictable, culturally-specific ways that have important consequences for subsequent, gendered experiences of cryptology."

Of course, the AI pin is aiming to take the smartphone completely out of the loop, however it's unclear right now what capabilities it has. Looking forward to early reviews of the AI pin understand better if the marketing lived up to reality.

God loves you so much he let's you hate him. Keep denying your creator at your peril.

He loves you so much that he wants you to come to him not by force and will let you go to hell willingly because YOU think it's better than loving your creator.

Don't forget that.
I respect the author's choice to use a proprietary license, but I wish they'd been honest about it.

I've been tracking that GitHub issue when FUSE-T came out. Initially, the author promised to open source. But then there was a long silence, after which the issue was closed as "completed" without any explanation.

It's unfortunate because proprietary software requires more trust for users. The lack of communication demonstrated here is concerning.
hiking recommendations suggest 20% of your bodyweight for the weight of your backpack. that suggests that carrying more for exercise should be possible. consider that hiking can mean several hours of walking during the whole day, while an exercise walk is usually more limited and you don't have any other challenging activities like pitching a tent, chopping wood, etc that you might have on a hike.

if you are inexperienced, i'd start smaller and increase the weight over a few weeks as long as you feel comfortable. i think it is also important to choose a good backpack that evenly distributes your weight and doesn't pull on your shoulders.

i have never tried this myself however. i have done a lot of hiking in my youth, but i doubt my backpacks ever reached those 20%. so don't take my word for it, but double check with an expert, doctor, gym trainer, etc.
Agreed here, my wife was showing me shows with commercials months ago. How is this different?
Given that a license for private use has been purchased, and given that it's acceptable to make backups for private use by the same person, is it even really piracy if the mechanics of creating your backup involve someone else's original instead of your original? You are licensed to have an original and backups thereof.

Obviously if your original is lower quality (say, DVD) and your pirated backup is higher quality (say, Blu-ray) then I would concede that it's piracy of the difference (i.e., you're only entitled to backups at the quality you originally purchased) which can reasonably be considered piracy in full. For simplicity, let's suppose both originals are identical releases.

If a copyright holder would consider this to be piracy, logically they should also consider it piracy if you download your digital purchase multiple times without using the same CDN point of presence each time. I'm quite certain they'd consider that a non-issue, since it all shares a common ancestor (the master for that particular release) regardless of any meaningless duplication between the master and the licensed consumer.

1. I absolutely will not watch videos with commercial breaks.

2. The Prime shipping logo on an item no longer necessarily means 2-day, but frequently means whenever convenient for Amazon.

3. Anecdotally, customer service changes since Bezos handed over the reins have seemed mixed (some bad, some good).

Looks like I'm going to cancel my 14.99/month Prime membership, and return to Netflix. Which will also make purchases at Amazon and WFM less attractive.

Edit: I just canceled Amazon Prime. I figured that canceling was more meaningful than merely mumbling on the Internet that I might.
The media mocked cars that made sense as environmental disasters (e.g., large, American-made, rear-wheel drive, V8-powered cars) when they were not. Those cars got 300,000+ miles before being scrapped. I am most familiar with the 1993 Chevy Caprice, which got 24 MPG on the highway.

The media ripped those cars and the companies who made them until the business-class* executives gave up and took them out of production.

* business-class refers to accountants, attorneys, and MBAs who are more than 2 levels above the lowest workers in the company and who genuinely do not understand the words they are using. They often say a word thinking of a common usage of it, not understanding that in their work it is industry-specific or company-specific jargon.
