Given how they’ve treated Evernote, I’d highly doubt it.

They seem to operate on the model of purchase, fire and profit. Recently each acquisition seems to have followed the same pattern where they buy a company, raise prices, and fire existing staff.

They did it with FiLMiC in September 2022, Evernote 3 months later, and most recently a mobile app developer called Mosaic.

It remains to be seen what happens to Meetup, whom they also purchased in January.

Given that Evernote killed Skitch 10 years ago, it’s highly likely that the source code is stuck on a backup never to be seen again.

Bending Spoons do not seem like the sort of company that gives a rats about giving back to the community.
I don't really agree with that.

Just like with roads, more lanes means more cars. More flats can also mean more people moving to the cities.

I don't think anyone would look at Tokyo and be like, yeah more apartments is the solution. It's been what they have been doing forever, and the population and cost of the apartments just keep going up.
Right, Modern computers don't know what their purpose is, that makes it such a mind boggling challenge. Nothing is ever good enough. If you define the purpose it can be better and much cheaper.

The punchline here is that you're complaining of a specific problem while being very vague about what exactly it is you're doing: no one's going to be able to give you a good answer. But I'd suggest if you don't know quantities and calories (and types), then you don't have enough data to self-diagnose the problem. Good scientists keep accurate notes.

Like twelfthnight above, I think a major point you miss is: not to do this _for_ something, but that in doing it you will experience a transformative effect. Or, reading, or meditating, is a worthy activity because in doing so the opportunity for insight and transformation increases; _not_ that this transformation is guaranteed or formulaic. I think it differs from staring or focusing on a blank wall in that one populates or fertilizes what is already there, for it to be understood or comprehended beyond it's surface application; these percolate until a mental/ emotional coffee is ready to drink! A blank wall draws on... blankness, which is, as I understand, a goal for Buddhist meditation - to empty ones mind of any fertilizer or coffee grains of thought. Different goals.

The military, at least, is very interested in being able to identify anything picked up by their sensors. But it's hard for them to publicly acknowledge this stuff because then it means they need to talk about the exact nature of the classified systems which they used to detect whatever the unknown phenomena was.

Most likely these were set prayer phrases, like recitations of the Psalms, and not a meandering, "Dear God/Santa, here is my Christmas list and help my dog and heal granny" kind of prayers.

We're playing with words now but the power of the dollar does not arise from your faith in it, it arises from the nations around the world that view it as a stable medium of trade. This stability is based on the employment and perception of ability to employ hedgemonic hard and soft power. The US isn't going anywhere because it has the guns, bullets, bombs, allies, trade, and diplomacy to stay in the top spot. Your faith is a product of that system, not a cause of it. Your faith won't build aircraft carriers.

One of my top shopper-friendly wish list features for Amazon would be reporting MSRP price (or typical retail price if MSRP isn't available) and computing not just the "discount" (when applicable) but also any "markup" (when applicable).

What you're describing is someone who is unable to prevent change in the gravity 'field'. It seems ridiculous because we are unable to do so, but imagine a hypothetical case where we had not figured out how electric fields propagate or are attenuated and then imagine a equally hypothetical jerf scoffing at the wildly implausible idea of not being saturated by radio waves in an energetic field.

I live near an experimental archaeological centre with roots going back to the 60's. I read a book by one of the founders, where he relates making his first flint axe at approximately age 16 and being so excited he went straight to the garden and cut down a tree - without asking for permission first... thankfully he had very supportive parents.
I just explained this, maybe you didn't live through the Obamacare legislation or didn't bother reading my whole response. I admit I didn't research specific profit margin figures, but your numbers ... simply strengthen my contention.

UHC and other health insurers are swimming in money. Yet the reported profits are very low ... why?

Obamacare was ground zero for public healthcare. If it wasn't for utter slimeball Joe Lieberman doing the dirty work blocking medicare for all for the insurance companies, they would have been tossed out completely.

Again, the US is the ONLY first world economy that doesn't have social health insurance. The economics of our health care system are not sustainable, and large changes will eventually come. The health care cartel cannot show the profit margins of drug/device companies. Insurance companies are the ones that deny coverage, so they are front and center with people hating the current healthcare system.

So the healthcare companies DON'T show profit, instead they expand revenue as much as possible, and the executives funnel money to a bloated management structure. You don't need high profits to drive stock growth, you just need to get ... bigger, and that's what they do. You can do other things to boost stock price without showing profits ... use ... wait for it ... excess revenue to do stock buybacks. You can "reinvest" into expanding the vertical integration of your monopoly. You can buyout more hospital networks, effectively expanding the number of people that HAVE to use your insurance.

Let me give another example. Why are MBAs flocking to nonprofit universities? There's no stock options. There's no cashing out in mergers and acquisitions. Why?

Money floods into the universities as the endowments explode, every year the tuition increases well above inflation. Yes there is a facilities race, but why do MBAs love it? Well, it is a cushy job, universities are nice places to work. But, since there's no shareholders, no owner to show profits to, they can skim off the vast revenue increase from exploding endowments and tuition increases and... pay themselves more money.
Ok I’m sure this is stupid but could memory be a glow in the dark chemical?

The byline specifically says: "Exclusive: Paper by UCL professor says ‘wobbly’ space-time could instead explain expansion of universe and galactic rotation"

"Could instead explain" is not a definitive statement.

Their headline is "Controversial new theory of gravity rules out need for dark matter"

"Controversial new" tells me that this isn't settled science, nor is the Guardian trying to say otherwise. "Rules out" by itself, out of context, could imply proven science, but not within the context of the headline and byline.
Why isn't the EM field the medium? Or even spacetime?
Interesting to see (in the followup posts) that the structure of CBPV seems to lead to "lazy" records as a natural choice, contrasting with "strict" primitive values and sum types, and "lazy" function types. The connection to polarity and focusing is also worthy of note.

It's a fairly common problem. There's a model adopted by many open source projects that you don't have to maintain ABI (or even API)[1] compatibility across major versions, which is fundamentally incompatible with platforms where deploying software as binaries is the common or default approach.

The result is that the OS gets permanently stuck on an old release, so if you want to use new features you have to include your own copy of the library.

This isn't intended as any kind of value statement for the approaches, or who is or is not being reasonable, it's just intended as an objective statement of what happens and what the result is.

[1] [edit: added this entire footnote] For ABI here, I'm including behaviour/semantic changes that break dependent software courtesy of Hyrum's law. It sounds like that's what the PHP issue was.

>Instead, it allows them to recognize you again when you come back to visit again, even if you clear cookies.

I don't think that's what stockhorn said. stockhorn said it can only identify a what browser and OS and laptop model you're using. Someone else with the same browser, OS, and laptop model would have the same fingerprint. So audio fingerprinting couldn't precisely recognize you again when you come back again.
The problem though is that you're taking the known failure mode interpretation of microservices (what we call a distributed monolith) and making it "easier" by adding significantly more complexity. As many of the other comments here have said, this has been done before. You are repeating the mistakes of DCOM and gussying it up with a modern-looking marketing page.

You demonstrate a lack of understanding of idempotence on your marketing page, which is enough to dismiss your service outright. With all due respect, I'm sure you've put a ton of work into this, and you may even manage to sell it to some teams, but this has been tried and failed so many times in software development's history. It won't be any different now. This is very likely to cause long term harm to any team that adopts it.

For anyone considering it, please make sure you actually understand idempotence and autonomy. Look into event sourcing. Study the fallacies of distributed computing. Check out the work of Udi Dahan and Scott Bellware. Run, do not walk from anything purporting to do the things that this does.
Thanks. Edited title.
rent is an economic version of serfdom. The martial winners and their tax collecting partners run the entire market. Practically zero long term successful people in society are renters, perhaps their children at a young age or other temporary versions.

In the modern post-2007 world, capital in massive amounts is travelling to every corner of the West, and also capital from other systems into the West, to own, not rent. The reason to own is to capture the value increase in the market - renters get none of that.

Established theories about economic adjustment of rent prices are like tales of why the dogs nose is cold, or why it rains after a certain holiday. Many modern accepted economic theories are repeatedly disproved. Economic theory is half marketing and alcohol IMO. wave from the Coastal West USA

the 15" MBA really needs the M3 Pro chip so it can support multiple displays. That's a kink even with "suits clicking on spreadsheets", it is definitely true that everyone is used to at least dual external monitors by now. Let alone actual dev work.

C'mon guys, you sized the M3 Pro down and everything, I know it'll fit. Yeah, it'll throttle under heavy load but that's what MBAs do. The 15" chassis is overkill for the M3 base-tier and it'll be fine, and that's the buy-in for multiple displays. M3 is a great tablet/ultraportable but it's still ultimately not an ultrabook chip.

Personally I happened to have ultrawide already so it was not the end of the world using a MBA for a while with my single external screen... but it's a bad limitation and there's no real solution except either putting the 2nd display controller on M3 (probably not going to happen for cost reasons) or putting the M3 Pro in the 15" chassis.

Even if you think it's part of some strategy to price-ladder you into the MBP... surely having another rung on the ladder is part of the game too? ;)

Hopefully we see it with the N3E variants that should be releasing sometime this year...

The best way to make rent affordable is increasing land value tax to incentivize building and reduce income taxes.

Yes, quite. Unless my function has no side-effects, idempotency will always be my responsibility. This feature is a lie and an outright hazard. It should not be called idempotency and it should have a big bold warning stating that the function may be called more than once.

Covered already in this instance, thoroughly:

'The judge said in his ruling that he had examined “raw underlying intelligence material” before deciding there was not a “real and immediate risk” to NX121 or his family if his identity was made public.

Lucraft said the three-month delay in naming the officer would allow for “the imposition of any additional mitigating measures to be put in place.”'

the parity fragments are by default just stored at the end, interleaved like every other fragment. It doesn't actually matter whether a parity or a data fragment get corrupted, as long as there are at least some determinate number of them not corrupted.

In terms of controlling how many blocks and their respective fragments are interleaved, that can be controlled by the -l argument in the command. I'll paste the info I have in the manpage here.

>The number of blocks(specifically their fragments) to interleave. The default number is 3, as it provides protection for a bad burst to corrupt both the block in front of and behind it.

In general, you can approximate the burst size ratio needed to destroy a set of interleaved blocks beyond repair via this equation (this may not be fully accurate as its napkin math)

let n = number of blocks to interleave, B = number of bytes per fragment, m = number of parity fragments, k = number of required fragments to rebuild a block.

((n - 1) * m * B + n - 1) / (n * (k + m) * B)

this is because a given corruption could traverse a whole fragment and then leech into another, taking some other fragments with it with the most unlucky of bursts. When you remove the B and take the limit as n goes to infinity, it approaches the ratio of m/(k+m), or in other words as you interleave more and more blocks, you get a maximal burst size closer and closer to the size of your total number of parity fragments.

Also, the header specifies exactly the size of each fragment, we don't depend on the fragments themselves to tell us their size. In fact, the only metadata a fragment has is its hash and the number of padded bytes for the whole interleaved set of fragments, the format is (almost, ignoring padded bytes) completely described from the header as a design principle. That's why a whole fragment can be turned to garbage and we don't care, just skipping ahead to the next fragment.

edit: thinking on it, I could add a mode of behavior such that it recovers as much as possible if a specific block is corrupted, rather than the situation right now where it quits streaming after it finds a corrupted block.

This is not universally true. All of the US cards I’ve used on non-US websites, probably multiple times a week in multiple European countries for years now, have worked either without a billing address (if the website doesn’t support it) or sometimes even with an incorrect billing address, such as a non-US address for US card. Most websites in western European countries seem to support it so this usually doesn’t come up but I’ve never had a problem at least with my current cards when it does.

The only time I did have a problem is when no foreign card was accepted by the payment processor, not due to verification issues.
It feels like half the text is dealing with arity confusion that only comes up because of a particular way of implementing functions.

Because I agree, if you take a statically typed call-by-value language and "introduce little spurts of lazy evaluation" then don't you get the same flexibility? And you'll also know the arity at all times.

There's something in the syntax I don't understand in the middle about unifying things, but then it later says you have to explicitly use "Return" on thunks in records to evaluate them, which sounds like the same thing a CBV language does.

Are there other benefits I'm not understanding?

Does the unification apply only to function parameters?
> All the counter-examples to knowledge being justified true belief I have seen so far use coincidences.

I think coincidence is be necessary to avoid the scenarios being "justified false beliefs".

I think that merely assigning low probability gives you increasingly better standards for "justified", and then you need some kind of threshold to say if you're sufficiently justified.

The example I was given was "I know there's a sheep in that field, I can see it" but you actually saw a shaggy dog, the sheep which was in the field was hiding behind a bush. Very much a coincidence scenario (like I said, I think they have to be), but also I don't think that fits your model for construction of knowledge involving repetition — instead, I would say that the statement should be "I see what looks like a sheep, therefore I have a justified belief there is a sheep in the field", but normal people wouldn't phrase it like that, and would find it marginally less weird to phrase it as "I see what looks like a sheep," (true) "therefore I know there is a sheep in the field" (false, but the point is they would say "I know" not "I've got a justified belief").
Probably because they knew they could have it validated or invalidated for a small fee. The article explains this.
