Is this all OK?
The method of distribution isn’t the point at argument here, is it?

For this argument to participate we have to assume it implies that people could develop, compile and deploy Switch games to commodity memory cards and then install them.

Otherwise it is the same behavior, from the perspective of prohibiting competition.

While it is fair to say "Fujitsu," a more complete picture is a British company called International Computers Limited (ICL) acquired by Fujitsu after the Post Office job started. ICL seems like a British variant of IBM.

The Horizon accounting system was developed by ICL Pathway, owned by the Japanese company Fujitsu. [0]

International Computers Limited (ICL) was a British computer hardware, computer software and computer services company that operated from 1968 until 2002. [1]

In May 1996, ICL Pathway Limited (later Fujitsu Services (Pathway) Limited) was awarded the private finance initiative contract to develop the Horizon IT system to modernize Post Office and Benefits Agency operations. [1]

The thumb buttons would override MCAS. But then you'd have to disable the trim motors and trim manually (by hand-cranking a wheel). That part was not clearly understood by the pilots, because they were not told about MCAS.
I know I didn't give any examples, but this has nothing to do with funding or domain knowledge. I'm talking about people going out of their way for bad design. Like a form with a submit button that was tiny compared to a very prominent reset button, or background colors that changed jarringly on hover. These are deliberate choices in this era of LCAPs.
and the manufacturer can be held liable for lost revenue so even if the AC is grounded, you can get some $$$
Have you read the book Forever Peace? I think it's a foretelling of this, in part. The book doesn't have drones, but what it does have is mechs that fight wars with human remote pilots. War in the book essentially boils down to who can spend more money building more mechs. No humans get killed except by accident, or if the war happens to be against one of those impoverished nations barbaric enough to use human soldiers.
> But if we don’t do our job right, people don’t get paid right, and while that may not have the same immediate impact as a doctor mistake, it’s... very much a real human impact.

As someone whose spouse is a teacher in the San Francisco Unified School District (where they had a disastrous rollout of new payroll and HR software), the effects are very, very real and concrete to me. Luckily, I work in tech and our could handle the problems, but many teachers live paycheck-to-paycheck. We know of teachers who have donated blood to get rent money because they weren’t paid, and one teacher died from cancer while being denied healthcare as a result of the HR software being borked. Total disaster with real, negative human consequences, unfortunately.
I would be interested to know the number of articles published on the scandal by mainstream papers, such as the independent, Guardian, Times and Telegraph.

It's a good gift idea but seems like a lot of trouble to build and maintain a consumer friendly version for what would be a relatively cheap product. Because I can't imagine people paying hundreds of dollars for that.

What he build looks cool but he set it up for his parents and if you were to sell it to them directly it would have to work out of the box. They'd have to be able to share the pictures with the frame with airdrop or something like that. Or maybe an SD card slot for Android users. Anything beyond that will be too complicated for the average user.

There is no legitimate reason for that. Your washing machine is infected and part of a bot net. Contact LG and get them to help you reset and secure it. You might also want to take a look at all of your devices on your home internet. It seems attackers have gotten into your internal network.

In NV it has really depended on the type of solar but seems anything that takes up large acres of land is going to be an issue. For ground based solar cell arrays we've had issues with the desert tortoise and other animals that it encroaches on their habitat. When you are using the molten salt method the bird population ends up at risk due to the laser like beam of light that gets directed towards the tower. They go so far as to deploy hawks and sounds but inevitably some bird brain gets fried.
> This type of close/closed-circle communication didn't really exist back in the 2000-2012 era. Sure chat rooms existed and were popular, but they had a very different flavor from the current social forms of a group chat or a discord server.

Wasn't ICQ/AIM/etc. like that during that time period? I missed that boat, but that was my impression.

> I think this turn towards the "cozy-net" in the last 5-8 years (a term I'm fuzzily borrowing from Venkatesh Rao) means that people are less interested in finding weird niche blogs or internet 'locations', hence their decline.

Does that timeline for that theory make sense? My sense is that "websites" started declining as social media platforms took off. If I understand the concept correctly the "cozynet" is a reaction to and rejection of those platforms.
Widely believed Ethereum ETF coming in Q2. Will make it much easier to put 401k / IRA money in, and capitulation by SEC makes a Bitcoin and Ethereum ban in the US basically impossible.
I read the page because you linked it, as an aside " (Yeah, power usage goes down when you add the extra carbon filter to the IKEA purifier. I’ve confirmed this myself with a power meter. Physics is weird.)"

when you block a vacuum cleaner the motor spins faster and uses less electricity, it just sounds like it's "working harder" but if there's less stuff (air) there to create friction then it's working less hard. So the heavier filter material using less electricity makes sense, especially when you take into account the lower "CADR" - wtf-ever that is.

Furthermore , all of my "DIY" air filters do a remarkable job, and they move very little air compared to the fans they're duct taped to, but they still turn black if i don't clean them every month or two.
If you hated Windows in the nineties and you're feeling sentimental, seems like there's plenty of anti-Microsoft stuff in there for old time's sake

> there's also a lot of engineers with a, shall we say, hands off attitude about ethics and the downstream effects

Yeah. I know one (not involved in my projects thankfully) whose response to pointing out likely downstream problems is generally "that sounds like a 'their' problem rather than a 'me' problem".

And I'm quoting, as I've heard it from them often. :(
hey, thanks a lot for the elaboration / clearing up. my wording on jump was bad, but this comment drives that into my brain nicely :D...

i think your edit is on point. optimizations exist, but the hard thing is to know when to apply them and them restructuring the binary etc. - you can imagine you might optimize one bit only to find its impossible to run further code etc. because the optimization breaks it. or even different phases of optimization either feeding eachother more optimization opportunities or negating them(how to order optimizations). compilers and optimizers are such magic really, how far weve come in there. i got one book bigger and fatter than any ive ever seen, more thick than an oldksool bible. and its on compilers :'). its so big im afraid to start it!
Don't Learn SQL
I'll give you spam sites, but I'll also note that at least 4 of the 5 examples you gave of where people go to consume content in apps also have highly functional and usable websites, even on mobile. I'm not familiar with TikTok, so I can't comment on it.

I'd also note that if you want to just, say, consume from YouTube, spam sites are no longer in the picture.
My expectations for people to take ethical responsibility generally scales with rank/level. It’s hard to fault a junior engineer for doing what they’re told; they might not even know about any harms they are doing, or maybe they’re economically vulnerable and can’t speak up for fear of losing their job.

On the other hand, a Director or Staff Engineer has my full blame for anything unethical that happens under their purview.

Is there an AI "theory of everything" that can combine conventional AI with LLMs?
Exactly!

Usually, the designed conceptual model imposes constraints on the implementation. Sometimes, the implementation affects the conceptual model (a leaky abstraction). But they are logically orthogonal.

And you can't "abstract away" the conceptual model as if it were an implementation detail. The conceptual model IS the abstraction!
Thanks for the link. I read both Carson's (your?) article and Max's. In general I see the point, but I think what's missing is a htmx-specific Android/iOS app template. Something that wraps a WebView but perhaps preprocess and reacts to mobile specific html tags or special hx-mobile-xxx attribues to existing tags that know how to do special mobile things. I'll have to think more about this.

the more important question is why did you let your washing machine have access to your wifi network to begin with?
> If all business happens in one transactional system, your semantics are dramatically simplified.

100% agreed. One of the biggest issues SQL databases have faced is that the scope & scale of "one transactional system" has evolved a lot more quickly than any off-the-shelf database architecture has been able to keep up with, resulting in an explosion of workaround technologies and approaches that really shouldn't need to exist.

We're now firmly in the cloud database era and can look at things like Spanner to judge how far away Postgres remains from satisfying modern availability & scaling expectations. But it will be great to see OSS close the gap (hopefully soon!).
Then it won't be able to close.
Yep I've used Rustler with great success.

And yep Elixir is an amazing orchestrator. But when the time comes I'll gauge whether I can't get most of the benefits with async Rust.
On their hiring page they are looking for VoIP experience so maybe maybe a VoIP device.
This is a great example of something that irks me during data privacy debates from the side of "well if there's no personally identifying data, it's fine." It would seem that since X-Mode only sells location data tied to a device, which is technically "anonymous" then this is likely why it flew under the radar for so long. It's not like they're saying "oh, such and such was here at this time."

however, the reality is that ALL personal data is potentially personally identifying, especially when collected and analyzed in aggregate with other data sources. I wish the public conscious would somehow accept this fact and understand that personal data should always default to being in the hands of the user first.
> which doesn't seem obvious at all to me.

A post I submitted 85 days ago [1], an Ukrainian drone guy talking about Russian-made drones. A more recent post [2], also from an Ukrainian POV when it comes to Russian drones' capabilities.

> OTAN equipment because of their combat experience is pretty bold considering

Direct combat experience will always have the upper hand compared to militaries which are still watching from the sidelines. Seeing how you spelled NATO I highly recommend these two books by Michel Goya talking about this in connection to France's industrial-military evolution in WW1: [3] and [4]

I've seen reports that the airlines are hopeful they'll be back in service by early next week. At the very least they need to go through enhanced inspections, and those inspections don't seem finalized on how to perform them yet. The best answer is, no one knows.
Does that matter? What did you think YouTube has in mind when they say "realistically simulate"? Sometimes you can see a trend coming early on, and isn't YouTube responding to what people will probably do in the future?

There's an interesting thing about complicated tools: they often exist to serve complicated requirements.

OpenStack is a large, complex piece of infrastructure software used at scale that many people, even on HN, will never experience directly. Why don't you hear about us much? Because people running at that scale frequently don't enjoy talking about the details of their infrastructure.

Ask the question next time you see something in a software tool, e.g. gerrit, that seems over-complicated: What can this software do because of this complication that I'm missing?

I don't think the tooling we use is what everyone should use, by any stretch, but don't assume things are being done in an antiquated way just because they're different than you're previous experiences or because they've been done that way for a long time.
Anduril looks promising in that regard:

Yup I saw this with a lot of friends who chose to retire in their 20s to Portland. They could live remarkably comfortably working simple hourly retail jobs while I was busting my hump at competitive big corporate jobs NYC to live in less comfortable circumstances. Their "Portland dollars" income went very far on "Portland dollars" denominated goods&services like their rent, food trucks, entertainment, etc.

However our disposable income was dramatically different. So anything in "US dollars" like airplane tickets, smartphones, etc were out of reach to them.
They're spot Bitcoin ETFs. So yes, Bitcoin.
Don't worry about dbms transaction management. This is the wrong level. No bank uses database-level transactions to make sure a balance transfer doesn't erase or double money. They post a durable entry in the transaction log, and then compute balances as roll-ups of the transactions. If some weird data glitch or cosmic ray produces the wrong balances, just re-run the tx rollup!
How can it tie requests arriving at a service and generating additional downstream requests?

Distributed tracing needs some common token all requests share to identify all RPCs that should be associated with a specific incoming request.
Or while moving.
I'm curious if they will allow staked assets within the ETF.
I suspect because you came across as judgmental and opinionated more than questioning. I'm not saying you meant to, just that is how it could read.
After watching 1000's of Ukrainian drone videos, it's absolutely terrifying for the foot soldier these days. You almost stand zero chance and as for vehicles, it can seriously impact their usefulness. APC's,Tanks become scrap metal from a $500 drone carrying a shaped charge. The US has always depended on air superiority to fight its wars, they are completely unprepared for what facing an enemy with superior air defense can turn war on the ground into (WW1 style trench warfare). Add to that an enemy that would sacrifice millions of soldiers without an care or remorse.
Or most inter war french bombers. God, they were ugly.

If you want the latitude to affect meaningful change, then you are also going to have to accept all ownership surrounding that thing and likely far beyond. I know it gets some flak (for good reason), but concepts like extreme ownership are fundamentally how I am able to tolerate this "everything is my fault" experience.

If everything will be my fault in the end, then screw it - I will go ahead and take ownership/control of all of those things and make sure they don't come back around to bite me in the ass. If someone questions my authority, I always cast it in terms of "how many weekends with your family are you willing to sacrifice to support that idea?" Oftentimes this is all it takes to get those idle suggestions put in the bin so we can move forward.

Solving database circus in a real business environment requires disengaging all of the safeties and getting very messy with your free time, stress levels and other humans. It's a front-loaded suffering though. If you actually know what you are doing and get through the schema refactor (and it sticks), everything is down-hill from that point. Getting one schema to rule them all and then having the team learn that schema == new common language by which you can communicate that did not exist prior. In our business, non-developers are just as aware of our tables, columns and relations as developers & DBAs are. In some cases, they have more detail about how a field is used than I do.
These are GIT repositories, they have their own cryptographically unique identifiers. No need to send your data to a third-party to get it confirmed.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this whole operation feels like a huge infrastructure paid by Google for something that is not needed.
As someone completely out of the loop what was preventing ETFs from including Bitcoin? Is there some regulation about what types of assets can or cannot be part of an ETF?

Can I go make an ETF for magic the gathering cards? How about restaurant reservations or taylor swift tickets?
impossible afaik, but SDR's are so cheap and available now anyway..
Thought this was a browser issue to begin with...nope!
