Fujitsu's didn't prosecute anyone or send anybody to jail. All they did was write software that had bugs in it.

If you look at the version history of any software, you'll find it's full of bug fixes. Writing software without bugs is literally impossible. It's incredibly complex and written by "actual real people" and that means there will be mistakes.

If those mistakes lead to millions in liability, then you're going to have to start paying me those millions upfront, before I write a single line of code.

It's the same with a CEO - if people are criminally liable for mistakes made by people working under them... then nobody's ever going to accept a job where they delegate work to other people.

The solution to this issue is not to attack people who made a mistake. It's to put systems in place where you check for mistakes. I guarantee you the jury and courts that found these people guilty were presented with "facts" such as "nobody else can remotely access the software" which, it turns out, were total bullshit. The people who presented those facts in court are the ones to blame for this. They clearly either lied or made assumptions.

Both of those are serious crimes. You don't say anything in court unless you actually know it yourself. If someone else tells you something is true, you don't repeat what they said. You bring those people in as an expert witness to talk to the judge/jury directly, under oath, and you tell them not to make any assumptions either.

There should have been millions spent on a full code audit done checking for bugs in the software before allowing it to be admitted as evidence in court.
"China is the world's leader in electricity production from renewable energy sources, with over triple the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States. China's renewable energy sector is growing faster than its fossil fuels and nuclear power capacity"

There are many things you can say about china, but they do take climate change serious (maybe because they have already problems with desertification).
That's a factor of how many units are serviced by a set of stairs. On the same surface area you can have one large building with two staircases and one long corridor that splits the building down the middle, or you can have two separate buildings with a single set of stairs each and a better layout for apartments with more than one bedroom. The peak egress traffic will the the same for each case.

But all of this is unrelated to

WTF!? Is this leaking out of some kind of weird electromagnetic health conspiracy theory subculture?

Seen this several times in my career. It's not all VC hockey stick growth, many companies are just profitable, they have 10-20 employees and the owner lives a great life style. Generally the pay is pretty good and they focus on customers like any other company.

It doesn't have to be billion or bust, only once ego is involved does it become billions or bust.
It isn't if you aren't a scientist in that field. As you're not qualified to do otherwise.

As a physicist in quantum sensing. I follow the science (opinion) of climate scientists as they're the experts of that field. And that opinion is constantly evolving, but I follow that.

Anything else is just being an armchair scientist.
I'm not sure I understand you.

Can you expand your comment somewhat?
Heh. We used syslog at one place, with it configured to push logs into ELK. The ingestion into ELK broke … which caused syslog to start logging that it couldn't forward logs. Now that might seem like screaming into a void, but that log went to local disk, and syslog retried it as fast as disk would otherwise allow, so instantly every machine in the fleet started filling up its disks with logs.

(You can guess how we noticed the problem…)

Also logrotate. (And bounded on size.)
There aren't many times where direct application of RSA's encryption transform, to recover semantically meaningful data, is useful. But widespread use of RSA predates modern crypto (what people used to call "Crypto 2.0", hallmark feature being authenticated encryption), so it's still in all the APIs.

It's not even the murder so much as it's the premeditation. Even the most non-psychopathic mentally ill individuals with the most awful intrusive thoughts will still have an active conscience telling them not to do the things their minds are telling them to do. This is a big part of the torture schizophrenics are going through. Psychopaths do not have a conscience and psychopathy is not a diagnosis. The diagnosis given to psychopaths is typically Antisocial Personality Disorder, of which I have no idea if Reiser personally qualifies. But yes, premeditated murder is going to rank quite high in the scoring criteria. Hans believes/believed that he had the right to kill his wife. Even if he legitimately feels sorry (and I would be highly skeptical), the question becomes whether he actually feels sorry for the murder or the fact that it has landed him in prison (and that he only really feels sorry for himself).
I'm perfectly fine with this solution and will even advocate for it. But many others have been trying to unsuccessfully. So I think let them continue their efforts, do bring attention to is, but also not be reliant on them fixing the problem.

I should also add that arrests are public. So even if you are not convicted the arrest record may be found by a third party who is going to be less incentivized to expunge that data. So there's extra complexity to this too and why we should also not be reliant upon that solution.
This may be survivorship bias. If you look back say to 1970. Pick any car of that era would you drive it today? Not much. It is not nearly as good or even that well built. But some of the cars of that era are very well preserved and taken care of and maybe even in better shape than when they left the factory floor.

Sometimes things are built well or kept around for whatever reason. But most of the time people slap it together and call it good enough. Then when they are done with that item it is discarded.

You can say 'look at all the stuff from the roman era that survived'. You can also say what about all the stuff that didnt? Probably most of it. But you do not see it because it is no longer there.
Honestly pretty decent arguments all around:

> "It's the difference between buying Beanie Babies Inc. and buying Beanie Babies," Savitt argued.

> "When they buy this token, they are investing into the network behind it. One cannot be separated from the other," SEC lawyer Patrick Costello said.

It doesn't look like the article specifies what "this token" is but either statement could be true, depending. If one buys Ethereum, they actually do want to see the network being used, not so much with most EC-20 tokens.
> This whole lawsuit is because Epic wanted to avoid the Apple Tax

That may be, but that's not what the court ruled. The court ruled in favor of Epic on only one count of ten - specifically that Apple must allow other payment processors.

As long as the app was originally installed via the Apple App Store, it's still subject to the Apple Tax.

Mmm.

You've just reminded me how weird I am with money.

Back in 2000-ish, a summer holiday job I was doing for an hourly pay of… I can't remember exactly, but perhaps the equivalent of £10k/year for the full-timers… one of my coworkers said he'd bought a plasma TV for his 1- or 2-year old son. Those things were considered expensive luxuries back then.

I guess people like him are the norm.

Pure speculation but what if it has to do with dopamine sources? Solving problems and the certainty of math is addictive to some of us and dealing with people may not be. If you ride up the ladder of solving problems until you reach the ceiling of having to deal with people (especially academia politics), a farm where there is certainty and sunshine and where you can still solve problems as you like without having to depend on people, may be attractive.
I struggle with the use of the word "hacking". Sometimes we want it to mean a penetration that requires exceptional knowledge and effort. Sometimes we just want it to mean "fiddled with the internals".

I once did a search in the free version of Feedly. They showed me the real search results, behind a "this is a paid feature" overlay. I submitted feedback saying they should either provide the feature or not provide it - and refrain from this in-between teasing. I mentioned that I deleted the overlay in the HTML to see the results, and they told me I had "hacked" the web app in their response.

That usage, and this usage, are ridiculous, because they imply an unscrupulousness that isn't present. And yet applying the friendlier meaning of the word, as in "Hacker News", I think is reasonable in both cases.
Can you explain what that means? What are 'traditional filesystem semantics' and how would it be useful through 'some other kind of API'?

> 20 small bags of creatine for a 20 day trip makes perfectly good sense. Leave your measuring equipment at home.

It's also worth noting that in high likelihood you'd have additional context around this. Namely luggage or other such travel accessories. Because it is unlikely that you would create such daily allocations and then carry them on your person. It's more likely to leave them wherever you're staying. Everything is still likelihood based (dependent on model we use, which is why I specify likelihood).
That could still be fairly easily detected by looking at the tree and blob ids.

There's a diagram of the flight path and power generation over the cycles.

The flight path on the way out is much much longer going cross wind in figure 8s.
On the pull back in it's a direct path back in, and it looks the kite shifts to point back at the base station more so there's a ton less resistance than on the way out.
That's like the counting horse.

Cryptography engineers and vulnerability researchers who specialize in cryptography look for vulnerabilities in the popular libraries. Cryptographic vulnerabilities are high-status (if you find a pattern of them, you can even get published in the Big 4 academic venues). So there's a lot of incentive to find stuff, at least in popular software.

It's a much bigger problem for bespoke crypto people roll themselves, because the expertise required to find crypto vulnerabilities is uncommon, and there's not that much incentive at all to find a vulnerability in something nobody uses.

Still cheaper, and getting cheaper. Don’t ignore wind power too.

> in practice, transaction fees mean that about $2/mo is the minimum viable payment to actually mean something

another person who doesn't know about PayPal's micropayment account fees. They save us (ardour.org) about 23c per US$1 transaction, and we get the majority of our income from US$1 transactions. Instead of the usual 3.5% + 49c fixed fee on the order of 30c, PayPal' structure for this is more like 9c fixed + 4.99%.

If I was a believer in some deity that paid attention to such things, I would pray daily that PayPal does not decide to end these at some point.

Good news is that they now offer something called Dynamic Pricing, where instead of maintaining two accounts and choosing which one to use based on the transaction value, they will now do this automatically for you. Subject to approval, they say.

> When forced to spin out and stand alone by corporate raiders, those companies were effectively doomed as you just ripped out their ability to do R&D.

It would be just as fair to blame the original culture of having vertically integrated conglomerates to begin with.

If there is anyone who should be able to figure out how to automate manufacturing with a small number of workers, it should be a bunch of machinists. But you put them in a lumbering conglomerate and teach them that automation is the enemy because it will take their jobs. Then they take that same attitude into a smaller company that has to be leaner in order to survive and you've set them up for failure.

Whereas if you embrace it, instead of domestic buyers getting their goods from cheap labor in China, domestic and international buyers get their goods from automated domestic factories that employ fewer people per unit but make more units than ever before because they have globally competitive prices and the global demand when you can supply at a low price is enormous.

> Nobody in Cleveland gives a shit about whether someone in Africa is doing better when they can't make their house payment.

But the reason they can't make their house payment is the same kind of regulatory capture that they supported and caused them to lose their job, which in turn makes housing unaffordable because you can't outsource plumbers and electricians.

It is basically impossible to know what a system is without accessing it and looking around.

It is like being given a key card for security clearance in a building. You assume any door it opens is a room you're allowed to be in. If security finds you in a room you aren't supposed to be in, is that your fault? Or whoever gave you the card with the wrong clearance level?

Also how about the situation where you open a door, look inside, immediately realize you're not supposed to be there and then report it to security? Should you be punished?

The point was that if there's a certain coding pattern that can be accommodated by adding a new language feature, it is worth considering. The fact that it's readily doable with some effort in some other way is not an argument against it.

C++ started as a reasonable extension to C, but now it's just something else (nor does it even want to be seen related to C now anyway). Extending C with something new, without rushing, is a perfectly fine idea.

That is the main takeaway from all these. The lesson is not that venture capital ruined it. But that eventually, at some point, either the founder or circumstances change the thing. The one permanent here is that it's bit on a digital network. By definition not permanent. And so people run into this again and again and still don't believe that XYZ might be next.

But it is, XYZ is their business platform, their social media network, their journals, their photo hoster, their "lifetime membership", etc. I ran into this all the time with clients. They would worry about what happens to their consultant, but never to their infrastructure.

So for businesses: have a plan B, and have usable archives / backups. And for individuals, have a plan B, and have usable archives / backups.

I was naive when I started out talking to VCs and made the mistake of saying that we might only need to raise one round. Of course, this is not what any VC wants to hear, since it doesn't align with their goals.

It is possible to just raise one round, but it requires that you use the right kind of instrument, and that you don't give up too much voting control. My guess is that if this sort of thing becomes popular, VCs will insist on certain key terms that will allow them to prevent this sort of strategy, and any founders who resist the key terms will be viewed as suspect.
