It's cut on a cnc router table, which does not handle regular wood very well. The dimensional stability and anisotropic nature of plywood is a better fit for most automated cutting methods. If you try to CNC route most regular dimensional lumber it has pretty bad tearout and splitting unless you use a really fine cutter and go slowly (which takes forever).
it wasn't hacked I think, more like another blue check account impersonating it tweeted that out. This is the official account @SECGov tweeting out fake news.

There isn't a good reason to UA sniff. I run Firefox serving a Chrome UA as my daily driver, and never run into any issues. The reason I started this nonsense was because of a few sites that completely falsely asserted they needed Chrome to run properly, aka the only issue was the fact that they looked at the user-agent string.

Not to mention the fact that this is google.com, not some wild feat of frontend engineering. They shouldn't be serving any JS that wouldn't run on IE, forget anything close to a modern browser.

There is theoretical inefficiency and practical inefficiency. Something might be O(n^3).. but if your n is small (as in backblaze case, where you do it on a file by file basis, rather than for your filesystem), it is still useful.

In other cases, your optimal algorithm might have a large constant cost (setup cost etc) which for small n might make it practically inefficient. n^2+c1 and n^3 + c2, but c2 >>> c1 happens a lot.
Even in late-stage capitalism, you do a 5-10% staff cut at most to trim the fat so-to-speak.

A 35% cut indicates something with the business is fundamentally wrong.

EDIT: I apologize for the completely unintentional derail.

Fair point. I don't know what percentage was IT.
Be born in the aristocracy[0] or land one of the very small openings where executives get hired from outside the circle via executive recruiting, which usually means networking your way to VP / SVP at a some kind of notable firm or otherwise getting close to attainment of the executive class.

I hear being an ex-founder is useful in this regard. Apparently, working at McKinsey or Bain or one of the other large "prestigious" consulting firms is also a good move. Going to Harvard, Yale, Stanford or similar univerisities is almost a hard requirement. Almost[1].

Or, in the rarest of events, found a business that is successful and somehow manages to get big enough that you get status by proxy.

In any case, sans the last (and rarest) way, you'll have to walk the walk and talk the talk. It can get unsavory.

[0]: Oligarchy and Plutocracy fit too. Take your pick. To grossly oversimplify: If you're part of the Aristrocratic families (Rockefellers, Dursts etc) thats one way. Another is via being apart of the oligarchy (corporate power is alive and well. from oil companies to big tech) which is often intertwined with aristrocratic insitutions (Harvard, Yale etc). Finally, of course, you have the mesh of percentage at the top that fall into Plutocracy, which are wealthy and powerful themselves but are in service of even wealthier and more powerful oligarchs and artistrocrats in many cases.

[1]: Somehow around the edges you can find your way into it without this, but its challenging to say the least. Usually (but not entirely) its due to the rarest case, being a successful entreprenuer and surviving long enough to be recongized by proxy. Though, sometimes servant becomes the master.

You answered your own question. Twitch is solid and well-built. It doesn't need an army of well-paid engineers to maintain it and isn't seeing a great ROI on new features. Some companies repurpose all, many or some engineers when the spreadsheet says to, others fire them wholesale.

> By your logic, all testing is invalid except for usage by real users

That is exactly correct. All testing is make believe except for real case studies by real customers with an intent to pay, and barring that, real pilots with real utilization. Otherwise, you run the risk of building a product for a version of yourself that you are pretending is other people.

My two cents: they should cryptographically sign their messages in other platforms. There is enough length in Twitter now. I think the SEC is really responsible for not protecting investors in this case.
> From what I've read, experiments show that basket percentage is measurably higher if you shoot with the underhand "granny shot", compared to the conventional way of shooting.

Probably only true for poor free throw shooters. The muscle memory required for shooting at all requires an inordinate amount of daily practice. Requiring a very different muscle action for free throws is not going to work very well.

The point of the "granny shot" is simply to have the big guys put a big arc on the shot. Huge guys like Wilt or Shaq often are releasing directly at the basket instead of putting a big arc on the shot. They don't do that on regular shots (at least Wilt didn't).

Why Wilt never just did "fadeaway jumpers" from the free throw line is beyond me--everybody who is decent at free throw shooting uses whatever shooting mechanism they're good at normally.

However, it does take daily practice, and it takes years. For me, it took my entire high school career to go from a 50% free throw shooter as a freshman to a 98% free throw shooter senior year. Every basketball practice (playground, school, gym, wherever and whatever) always ended with 100 free throws--the point was to be able to do them even when you were on the point of exhaustion.

Of course, Wilt is a whole lot bigger and forgot more basketball than I ever learned. Would it have been worth it to Wilt to spend the time everyday to practice free throws vs something else? Shrug.
How is the SEC responsible because they got hacked? Are you responsible for fraudulent charges on your credit card (you'll contrive some yes, but the answer is no)?
AI is taking over. Simple as that $$$
Hardware companies have (1) greater costs to get off the ground (2) longer periods of development (3) higher incremental cost per sale (so harder to scale) (4) slower iteration speed, and (5) just overall a lot riskier than pure software. A VC fund is going to see a startup with a groundbreaking innovate hardware device next to one building a cookie cutter SaaS app and still invest in the latter, because it just makes more business sense for them. No one outside of Apple/Google/Microsoft and the like is pouring 10 years and billions of dollars towards releasing a new device.
I find this explanation to still be non-compelling. I'm willing to believe I will be wrong and that this will still be the future. I just can't bring myself to think that people today will do any better of a job at defining what and how computing pieces will fit together any better than a few of the other attempts in the past. More, I'm not at all clear that this is something we even need to solve.

Standardized interconnect? Great idea. There will almost certainly be many such standardized connections. Standardized compute? I'm less sold. A large part of the decisions that go into how some compute is done is about making tradeoffs appropriate for a use case. Not finding the universally correct tradeoff.

Worse, if this is about sneaking compute into otherwise static data, as the example of fonts indicates, then a big no thank you from me. I am not too worried about "accidentally Turing complete," all told. But I also don't see the point in giving up and aiming for it everywhere.

The idea that you could maybe have portable extensions for stuff like GIMP is somewhat compelling. But... we have come a long way with safely allowing plugins without needing a whole new definition. This reminds me of the microkernel debate and how it ignores loadable modules for the kernel.
Sell your soul. You have to be capable of looking at people and erasing their humanity/removing your empathy.

The biggest problem as I see it is that they monetized it, on a massive scale. If this had been open source like they promised, it would seem more like fair use. But to take huge amounts of copyrighted material without consent and effectively sell access to that material? I struggle to see how that could ever be legal.

Has anybody else poked around in a bitcoin blockchain block explorer recently to look at the individual transactions of a block?

Honestly I find it kind of suspicious but I could easily be missing something. I see multiple transactions spend more on fees than the amount exchanged in the transaction. A number of transactions looked enormous but turned out to be some form of washing. E.g address X sends $100MM worth of bitcoin to two addresses, with ~$1k going to address Y and the rest going right back to address X.

What’s the point? Why not just send $1k to address Y.

I originally started looking around to get a sense for how much bitcoin is being transacted relative to the block reward. As the halvings continue I can’t imagine how miners can profit without exorbitant transaction fees. Many of the transaction fees in the block I looked at were comparable to wire transfer fees.

Why would anybody want to use bitcoin outside of speculation after nearly all 21mm bitcoin are mined? Why would anybody want to continue mining as well?

====

Do you ship outside of the United States?

Yes, we currently sell to customers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, certain countries in the European Union (Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden), Korea, and Japan. We will ship r1 devices only to mailing addresses in those countries/jurisdictions.

When will my r1 be shipped?

We expect to begin shipping r1 to US addresses for Pre-Sale Purchases in March-April 2024. Shipping to non-US addresses for international orders and fulfillment of Pre-Orders are expected to begin later in 2024,but we do not have a more definite estimate at this time. Shipping estimates are subject to change based on our manufacturing capacity and component availability. An exact shipping date is not available beyond the expected shipping window listed above. Please be assured that we will fulfill orders as quickly as possible in the order they were received. We will update this FAQ page with regard to shipping within the United States and shipping for international orders with the latest information on shipping window estimates as soon as we have that information.

I'd say that if it was sold by TE it would cost 2x-3x that at least. They make great stuff, but they are super expensive.
It’s more important to have an unstoppable digital store of value than to stop people getting scammed.

Sure would be nice to have fewer scammers, and we should try. I, too, detest many of the actors in the space, the whole number-go-up get-rich-quick culture, and much more.

But it’s a sideshow. The reality is I’m not giving up digital assets I completely control (preferably private ones) any more than I’m giving up strong encryption, e2e encrypted comms, or the right to run whatever software I like on my computers. I’m not the only one.

It’s really irrelevant if you or anyone else considers it irredeemable. What does that even mean? There’s not even a single coherent “it” to be irredeemable.

Does it mean that when Blackblaze needs to retrieve me my file, it has to issue 20 parallel network requests, wait for at least 17 of them to complete, then combine the responses into the requested file and only then it can start streaming it to me? That seems kinda bad for latency.
that has nothing to do with staffing. Korea has a uniquely hostile ISP market where service providers want to charge foreign services ridiculous amounts (versus peering agreements in most markets) for access to Korean consumer networks

FTA: In Mali they discovered a 10x breakdown rate compared to home in Germany. And that wasn’t even war. Also, they lack spare parts. The beauty of just-in-time logistics. Read up on how much of a typical NATO army is operational at a given (peace) time. '91 was a long time ago.

There goes “crew survived”.

Considering how arbitrary Apple's demarcation of the five App Stores is already, it's not much of a technical leap to go further. I'm no expert on the Apple developer tools, but if it's anything like Android, apps for a 2022 iPhone are a lot closer to apps for a 2022 iPad than they are to a 2018 iPhone.

With Android, new API/ABI versions are released with breaking changes, forcing a different set of apps to be available for each version, but the codebase remains mostly the same across form factors at any given point in time.

I think the Commission are more than capable of seeing through Apple's artificial distinctions here, but the question is whether the General Court will!

Has there been a discovered way of treating obesity at a population level? As far as I can tell, only Ozempic and stomach surgery has succeeded in leading to any meaningful long term weight loss for an entire cohort.

Are you sure you aren't just misunderstanding how the UTXO model works? If you are a miner and you are rewarded with 1 BTC and you decide to send someone 0.5 BTC, your transaction will send 0.5 BTC to one address and send 0.5 BTC back to yourself.

You then end up with UTXOs that are each made up of a different amount of BTC and you keep grouping them in transactions and sending the leftovers back to yourself.
The SEC should never have put itself in the position where it was vulnerable to this type of online impersonation.

This seems less about crypto - after all, crypto will crypto - and more about "why the heck did the SEC normalise Twitter as a communications outlet!?".

It should be remembered that Spirit makes the 737 bare bones fuselage then ships it by train to Boeing. This fuselage had the door plug installed on models that have one. When the fuselage gets to Boing the door plug is removed so the interior team can finish out the component then Boeing (not Spirit) does the final door plug installation.
If it turns out the door plug were improperly installed this is going to all on Boeing.

I think the split between Flakeful and Flakeless Nix that the article mentions is a big challenge for developers coming in new to the ecosystem. There's a video that recently circulated of Geohotz trying Nix from scratch[0], where the mixed messaging on whether to use Flakes caused a lot of initial confusion.

We've gone pretty all in on Flakes with our Devbox product[1] -- We think they simplify a lot of confusion on how to package and use Nix once you embrace them. I hope they become a more accepted standard in the future.

I wish these platforms that are used to distribute information had the option for important organizations to re-centralize their communication.

Instead of a Twitter account that could be hacked, why not let the SEC post to a feed hosted by themselves that Twitter can poll against and post to Twitter for them? Then you get the benefits of centralization for dissemination of information but decentralization for security? Then these important accounts can invest as much as they want in their own security?

It seems like the only benefit that Twitter actually gives vs the SEC just posting on their site is that centralization.
