I am not the original commenter, but the way I see it, this is mainly about two things;

1) Your lack of any sort of leverage. This means the potential employers will try to take advantage of your situation, and it will take some time to find an employer who does not.

2) Prejudice against those who were laid-off.

100% agree. Just about every book I've bought from amazon has arrived severely damaged due to crap packaging. I wanted to buy a really nice limited release folio recently, but for some reason the printer only sold it through Amazon. Why would you sell your $200 art book through a company that guarantees 90% of them will be trashed? I emailed the printer, they confirmed the books were only available through amazon, I bought one, and returned it because it looked like it had been thrown down a flight of stairs.
Summary: Little Bets by Peter Sims
For "juicy" web sites, 10% is coding (and better _really_ think about FPGA/assembly), 90% actively protecting it... "web developer" is only a sub-skill of the actual "job".

Not to mention, in this very case the "whole perimeter" does include the client program (the OS is tied to the hardware), aka a Big Tech web browser. And since this is not small tech (which would be noscript/basic (x)html), this will de facto exclude anything which is not Big Tech for most "legal" projects which wants some ultra heavy and fancy "web". Because near 100% of the project managers out there won't even take the risk anymore with such act.

Yep, those who are not Big Tech better be ready to REALLY, and I mean REALLY get close to metal and use REALLY small and lean tech, and namely to do NOT use Big Tech open source web software (blink|geeko/webkit+SDK).

This is weird because that will kill economically any attempts at Big Tech alternatives, ALL OF THEM.

Big Tech is BILLIONS OF $ OF CASH WITH THE BACKUP FROM INVESTMENT FUNDS WORTH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BILLIONS OF $: THERE IS NO FG&* ECONOMIC COMPETITION OR ANYTHING, WORLDWIDE AND THEY GET EU WIDE LAWS ONLY FOR THEM???

The first thing is to get ultra hardcore regulation on small tech<->big tech interop, and I really mean _small_ and _lean_ tech (the second you have Big Tech web engine or a massive SDK with an ultra complex language, you are done for).

Not to mention, EVERYBODY KNOWS COMPUTER SECURITY IS A FANTASY: IT DOES NOT EXIST, IT IS ONLY A PROCESS, NOT A DELIVERABLE WARANTY. And as far as I know, metrics to know if the "process" was good enough do not exists, and in such complex system it is just BS.

>It's a failure to understand that invention does not come only from external motivation, but also, possibly mostly, from internal motivations. The motivation to understand the world, to improve people's lives, to build something cool, useful or meaningful. It's a huge motivation behind the success of OSS.

It could be and is possible. But many important inventions weren't made by the rich elite that never had to worry about paying monthly expenses (many also were. But it just feeds back into the elite that way, which people seem to have in this topic). You're not going to get innovation from someone who's worried about if they can make rent that month. That's generally why entrepreneurs of all kinds either seek such funding with a pitch or simply work in industry in R&D. Both are ways to survive before the big break.

>The whole purpose of giving inventors/authors these rights was to promote progress. The inventor comes second, not first:

Sure that's the government's first angle. But the government has many other ways to promote progress; it won't be the biggest loser if copyright breaks down, especially not in such a globalized world.

Inventors are the target audience of these laws to incentivize them to invent. So I the spirit of the law the inventor comes first. Similar to how gambling laws audience is to protect the vulnerable despite the real reasons government banning them coming down to a lack of ability to properly tax (and probably some puritanism value too).

There's a trivial solution here. Stick all the NYT's still-in-copyright text in a big database. Every time the chatbot produces a paragraph, check it against the NYT-censor. If it's more than 70% similar to anything in the database (mythical 30% rule), have the chatbot rephrase it. Thus, the chatbot is no longer reproducing someone else's work.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that solution wouldn't be acceptable to the NYT, which is why I think they're trying for a land grab. They're trying to extend copyright beyond what was intended.

What is the body of evidence that leads you to think you can't exceed a (totally unrelated) benchmark when investing in privately held companies? Can you cite some studies? The reason we know EMH 'works' for public markets is decades of research. What research lead you to a similar conclusion for private markets, can you link some of it here?
> My bad if my response came as a rebuttal

That is how I read it, but it's all good. Sorry for misreading your tone.

> I understand that a newcomer at the beginning can be confused about the relationship between pacman, pamac, AUR, yay, etc

Perhaps that's the source of my confusion. So with:

Red Hat-like distros the tools are usually dnf or yum, which are evolutions over rpm.

Debian-like distros the tools are usually apt or apt-get (which are more or less the exact same thing), which are evolutions over dpkg.

With Arch, I kind of assumed that pamac and pacman are similar things, no idea if yay is related to anything else though. And I think pamac actually can install things from the AUR. My confusion definitely stems from loading up documentation from every different piece of software I tend to install, and each one of them listing a different utility for installing their package. If these are all the same thing with different UIs, installing packages from the same repositories, then that's definitely where I got lost.

And then I'd often be further annoyed to find out that the software vendor doesn't have a package for Arch, and nobody put one in the AUR yet, so I'd take the deb pkg and run it through debtap to get a PKGBUILD script. Doing which has netted me varied results.
ugrep+ has this feature similar to ripgrep-all.

For regular use, I use ugrep’s %u option with its format feature to only get one match per line same as other grep tools.

Overall, I’m a happy user of ugrep. ugrep works as well as ripgrep for me. It’s VERY fast and has built-in option to search archives within archives recursively.
You wouldn't use an LLM for mission management, but you could certainly use one as the human interface to the actual control system/autopilot. Which (in any event) doesn't require any sort of deep-learning implementation at all.

Fundamentally it’s supply and demand.

Rents are high because people will pay that much. House prices are high because people will pay that much. If investors could not profitably buy and rent an house at the prices being asked then they wouldn’t buy them.

Increase housing supply and prices will come down. Decrease demand and prices will come down.

Currently there’s pressures pushing up demand like large scale immigration + an aging population meaning less children living at home, and factors pushing down supply like skills and materials shortages in the building industry due to massive government infrastructure projects sucking up supply and zoning rules preventing housing being built in more desirable locations.
I'm surprised to hear that! I was under the impression that often when people are fired, they get little to nothing, except perhaps a token payment in exchange for some agreement to waiving rights to pursue litigation, or a non-disparagement agreement.

UPS has also delivered to me several completely destroyed packages in the past few months, also looked like they were driven over by trucks.

Okay so if that is the case then why aren't states in the west doing this overwhelmingly like how we used to/how authoritarian governments do?

Again psyops can only go so far and media is not inherently "owned" or anything of the sort, most of what you're saying you have to buy into a paranoid world view to rationalize instead of just looking at the truth of what civilized vs uncivilized governments do and don't do.

Since it's highly unproductive to assume government in the west is incapable of cooperating, as if this was the case we would literally not have ideals in society followed and protected by a fundamental agreement we fall the constitution, since again why should we in the west follow rules when China/Russia is far worse than us.

> Do bullets fly for minutes?

Effectively no. MythBusters said a 30-06 shot straight up could hit 10K feet and would take just under 1 minute to hit the ground. I'd be comfortable asserting that a 30-06 is about the largest 'normal' cartridge. Bigger ones definitely exist, but they're a niche.

Handgun rounds are generally a lot slower and lighter than a 30-06, so they'll all be even quicker to reach the ground. Plus, to hit the beach, you'd shoot at about a 45 degree angle instead of straight up, which would reduce the height reached.

> I was under the impression that Tether was in the business of taking USD (with the promise of returning it) and earning interest on that USD...

To be fair there's a HN unicorn doing just that: Coinbase. They created a joint venture with Circle and are backing $25 billion USDC by US short term treasuries, minting a cool 1.25 billion yearly in interests.

And contrarily to tether, Coinbase does have the actual USDs / short term US treasuries backing the USDC emitted (big names banks have published the list and individual numbers of all the US treasuries they're holding for Coinbase and during the SVB fiasco Coinbase was shown to have 3.3 bn at SVB or something like that).

Certainly a very profitable business to be in...

Simulating Non-CRT Monitors with FFmpeg: Flat Panel Displays (2021)
Regardless of the exact effect magnitude, the GLP-1 agonists are very effective relative to other bariatric treatments across all patient populations. Tirzepatide appears to be even more effective than semaglutide in that regard. The concern is not so much over the magnitude of weight loss but over unfavorable changes in body composition and serious side effects such as gastroparesis.

https://peterattiamd.com/ama45/

Novo Nordisk appears to be spreading FUD to some extent. While there are scammers selling fake or adulterated semaglutide (same as with any popular prescription drug), legitimate compounding pharmacies are producing the real thing that is medically equivalent to the branded Ozempic/Wegovy products.

Maybe I'm not clicking deep enough, but that marketing site looks like a super trivial Webflow CMS use-case.

Although if your team is all engineers pushing to git every day, I could totally see how they'd find Webflow frustrating (since a UI instead of a codebase would be a huge pattern-interrupt for their daily workflow).

That said, once your startup grows, what typically happens is you'll need to bring in specialized marketing/sales/design/SEO folks (vs. Swiss army knife SV startup hustlers). Their hours are far cheaper than engineer-hours and they're also much better at marketing/sales/design/SEO work, like your landing pages & blog.

They will not be able to change anything on your slick NextJS/Vercel setup , and will be filing tickets daily and overwhelming your engineers.

Then you'll probably have to resort to some nightmarishly bloated "headless CMS," and waste a huge amount of time on implementation, and then it will be impossible to change.

That's when it makes sense to switch back to something like Webflow.

With so many companies having layoffs in the last 12 months, were those all unnecessary jobs? If not, were revenue targets or company valuations lowered to match the loss of productivity with fewer necessary positions in the company?

Companies will absolutely continue paying large numbers of employees to do unnecessary jobs, they're incentivized to do so. A growing company is often seen as a good sign by shareholders and no one can really tell whether the new roles are any more or less productive. Existing employees and managers have the benefit of growing teams and getting promoted before anyone sees if the teams over-hired. Holding expendable positions also has the benefit of making for an easy layoff when investors get spooked.

Meaning the company and employees have good reason to hire and keep unnecessary jobs, don't have many short-term downsides as long as it doesn't directly cause a drop in key metrics, and have a built-in backup plan when things turn south and they can show good leadership by trimming the fat.

Only you can:

> "GM, for instance, at one time picked up the entire cost of funding health insurance premiums of its employees, their survivors and GM retirees"

Implies they get public health insurance in the alternative.

> In my experience, plenty of newspapers indulge in conjecture as well as editorial bias; being primary sources doesn't fully redeem them for this.

Newspapers are notoriously biased. See Yellow Journalism etc. It's the same practice and the same problem -- a lie of omission is a type of lie, not a type of honesty. They'd like to lie, but don't want to get caught in a lie or sued for libel, so they lead you down the garden path.

"Technically Correct: The Best Kind of Correct." Because that's how you get away with something. But getting away with something isn't neutrality, it's the system having a bias in your favor.
