The thing that sparked my interest here is a sidenote in one of the cited Wikipedia articles:

> Not all Jews immigrating to Israel from European countries are of Ashkenazi origin (the majority of French Jews are of Sephardic, and some Jews from the Asian Republics of the USSR are Mizrahi), and the Israeli government does not distinguish between Jewish communities in its census. [1]

That is how the Israeli government doesn’t track European vs. MENA ethnicity, instead leaving it up to studies to guess. And it took me on a rabbit hole of trying to figure out why that is. It feels very odd to separate between Arabs and Jews, but not allow Jews to identify as Arab-Jew in the population statistics.

100% That is exactly how it is playing out. People do not register (2passkeys * 20 services). They sign in with Google or Microsoft and call it a day. Privacy implications ignored.

Even more true in Corp IT. People will learn to use passkeys with SSO at the office and take those habits home.

I think it boosts share price. Supposed to reduce tax burden vs. just giving investors dividends? With dividends, I think valuation only gets affected if it is done on a regular cadence (so old companies that are cash cows but don't really grow). IBM used to do this crap a lot but also promised a target dividend (back in the 2010s). IBM may have borrowed to pay dividends .. again some kind of financial engineering which may have made sense.

I've built multiple embedded Android products and this seems like an absolutely terrible case for embedded Android.

Usually embedded Android is a trade where you get rich multimedia and heavy UIs made easy at the cost of raw performance compared to something like Qt and a minimalist RTOS.

The Rabbit R1 takes advantage of none of that. The UI is intentionally minimalist, while power draw was supposed to be a concern here. The thing is essentially a dumb client at the end of the day.

For the kind of money they raised they should have been able to do something closer to bare metal and gotten much better performance and battery life.
In my subset of aviation the end user is only to follow manufacturer approved maintenance guidelines, with no deviations. So I believe it's not a critical thinking problem, as much as a distinct lack of domain knowledge in comments like these.
It undilutes the stock, indirectly raising the stock price. I've heard it's like paying a dividend, except taxed differently. So shareholders should be happy, and the executives at the company who are making this decision typically own a bunch of shares as well, so they should make out. If Apple thought they could spend $110B more efficiently, I guess they would. But it's difficult to deploy massive capital.
So your point is that a good investor should agree to a buyout offer but the bad investor doesn't?

In other words, the original warrant holders (the accelerator) would have happily agreed to the founders buyout offer funded by the bank's grant? Why would they do that, if the whole point of an accelerator is to accumulate shares in the startups?
I like the single-binary approach that Nomad (and Consul) uses. Whereas, Kubernetes feels like a complicated web of services and APIs that need to work together. There's also a bunch of choices that need to be made up front when deploying Kubernetes to decide which distribution to use and which components you may or may not need. Kubernetes is a lot more flexible and powerful than Nomad, but Nomad is a lot easier to deploy and manage.
Delaying the collection has weird side effects and edge cases where if you hold on to the property long enough you could get into a position where you will actually lose money selling it, or worse yet even have to write a check to the government when you sell your house.

I would agree in general that if you can't afford the market-rate property taxes on your home, you should move. And stuff like Prop 13 just makes your neighbors subsidize you.

the principle is the reason why I am staying up to date on this. In principle I would feel better if the stuff stored in my bitwarden account are hardware related keys that do not help an attacker even if they guessed my master password and downloaded them all. I consider that an important security benefit... although honestly at this point I don't even know anymore if this is still true given that passkeys now sync across hardware... surely...

There's obviously a lot of nonsense that floats around in the herbal medicine community. But antimicrobial plants are relatively common, and applied topically, they do what you would expect them to. They generally aren't an antibiotic replacement because they aren't orally bio-available. They won't reach an infection in the periphery if you eat them.

To make a medicinal plant more effective you can immerse a lot of it in a solvent and use that to extract and concentrate the chemical you care about. These concentrates are commonly referred to as "essential oils".

None of this stuff was invented by a person, working for a corporation, and so you should not expect to see any of it commercialized, regardless of its efficacy. There will always be a synthetic analog, usually more effective (because it has been designed), and more importantly, patent-able.

Notice that none of these _need_ to be included in the standard library. All of them have benefited from frequent iteration outside of the standard library, and they all have alternatives if you don't like any of the choices that their authors made. But they are all reasonably good default choices if you just need to pick something and get started.
> However, piccolo works very hard to guarantee that piccolo::Executor::step returns in a bounded amount of time, even without the cooperation of the running Lua code.

The issue is that there exist ways to make a single bytecode instruction take an unbounded amount of time to execute. For example, Lua's "string.find()" is implemented in native code. The interpreter only sees a single OP_CALL opcode, so it will count it as 1 instruction executed. But the actual execution time of the native implementation of string.find() is dependent on its inputs, which are not only variable length strings, but can be maliciously crafted to run in exponential time. Here's an example, shamelessly stolen from Mike Pall himself:

string.find(string.rep("a", 50), string.rep("a?", 50)..string.rep("a", 50))

The only way to solve this is to track execution time within the native code as well (i.e. make them fuel-aware), and ensure that they abort immediately if they exhaust the fuel.

The issues the article raises are real, but it paints passkey implementation as much harder than it actually is. It's in Corbado's interests to exaggerate the difficulties.

We added passkeys to existing password authentication for a python flask app, and it took about 40 hours. 20 hours to get basic registration/authentication working, and another 20 hours to tweak the UX (things like popping up a "Want to use passkeys?" dialog occasionally, a passkeys page so users can manage them - all huge problems according to the article).

So please don't put passkeys in the too-hard basket after reading this article. Users love them, and they are going to be ubiquitous very soon.

Apparently orangutans do kiss to show affection. And the lips are probably full of nerve endings for foraging purposes anyway. So who knows, maybe he was actually kissing that tree to show some kind of positive emotion, whether it's a kind of reciprocal appreciation similar to what we'd consider "gratitude" for helping him, something associative on a simpler level for making him feel better, or maybe a different, uniquely orangutan emotion that we don't have the words for.

> I know I'm humanizing Rakus here

Out of all the species on this planet, orangutans probably have some of the emotions that are the closest to human emotions. Like, would you expect Ancient Greeks to have emotional experiences that are recognisable to you? What about Cro-Magnons? Neanderthals? Australopithecines? Where do they stop being people with rich inner lives, and turn into animals driven by instinct?

Orangutans are tree-dwelling (semi)social fruit eaters, like we were not that long ago. If you set the Tree of Life to "Zoom to Fit", we'd blend right together. "Humanizing" would be if you were talking about an octopus, a fish, or a protozoan. Different humans at different extremes already experience emotions in vastly different ways; I don't think it's unthinkable or odd that the median individual in such a closely related species might have experiences which we can relate to.

But also he looked to me like he was chewing in the last couple seconds, so maybe the other commenter saying he was just eating ants was right lol.
I don't see many switch on chip failures over the years, but I do see lots of bad optic network transceivers. As a network guy dealing with flaky gigabit transceivers over the past 25 years, I just have to wonder how well this will work out aggregating them all to one chip.
The obvious difference is one is a trial and the other is a set of invasions. At that point I suspect the average international lawyer would be forced to admit that, even from a legal perspective, these two things are different.
There is an agreement in the "Your contract with the network when you get the show is you're going to watch the spots" sense. I.e., by connecting to YouTube Google's lawyers feel you implicitly agreed to do so under Google's terms only... and Google can hire better lawyers than you can.
You probably wouldn't want an app to be able to press buttons on another app so if that's how it works (or worked) then that seems fair enough to me.

The fact that unemployment is low signals that we are not grappling inflation properly. You can't limit inflation without reducing employment rates. Those two go hand in hand.

There is a school of thought that the goal of increasing rates is just to control employment rates. It's just a indirect/crude way to do it, and unfortunately, the most effective way the fed has at its disposal.
Because the PE firm had partners who bought the underlying real estate for themselves.

I'm sure that there are PE firms that really do try to make businesses successful and profitable, but the vast majority are in it to sell off anything of value and dump all the ensuing debt into a company that will shortly go bankrupt.

If you own a company, and a PE firm buys one of your clients, that should be a hint to require prepayment for everything they ask for after that. They will leave you holding the bag as a creditor.
If these are hits, i would think it's one or two rogue execs or stakeholder with a lot of personal money to blow doing this, OR they are leveraging US military contacts to get it done. It's probably impossible to keep an assassination program from leaking carried out in any other way.
I think humans have a hard time understanding animal behavior, and consistently underestimate their intelligence because we don’t understand or relate to their motivations and interests.

We take our values and motivations as objective facts, and don’t even consider that maybe dogs enjoy eating grass, and also aren’t that interested in the weird sounds humans like to make with their mouths.

Many years ago I stopped by a zoo in France, with my 7mo son.

I was pushing him in the stroller while he was napping, and at the orangutan exhibit, one came up to the window and gestured towards the stroller.

I turned the stroller to face the window, and removed the hood.

The orangutan blew my son a kiss, waved then went back to the otherside of its enclosure.

Made me rethink what I knew about animal intelligence.
>"It was very sad to call it quits because getting the funding to make those units was the only hurdle before making serious progress,” Temple said. “If they connected me with investors like they said, I could have made my invention, gotten efficacy and would be shipping units right now. I really do believe that."

It's unfortunate to see a founder believe that one accelerator would make or break their company. Typically an accelerator amplifies your existing trajectory - if you're a fast-growing company, you'll get more term sheets from investors than you know what to do with. If you're flat, they won't be attracting investors in any way. It's a founder's job to navigate this instead of relying on the accelerator to find $500k.
Given some of the genius contraptions and tactics that the Russian Army has been caught using in Ukraine, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually did.

Why is it a worry? Can't rivals improve their own models too?

The thing is, of course, that China has lots of cash reserves that allow lots of R&D in all sorts of fields. The rivals are a bit strapped for cash, and can't afford as much R&D as China can.

The rivals, therefore, are running a losing race.
You are missing the forest for the trees and misunderstanding what I'm trying to convey.

Even if we shifted to 1hr trading a day, we would still have market makers, but they would charge a lot more and a lot less people would use them. They would become more like pawnbrokers or middle-men, not be considered a must-have, like they are considered now. Much like your market makers of old.

For institutional investors, most all of their trading is already done either right at market open or right before market close, so it wouldn't be much of a shift for anyone except for retail investors.

I never said JP Morgan was a great guy. I basically agree with your characterization of JP Morgan. That said, he totally saved the NYSE and the larger American economy a few times anyway.

You are partially there in your understanding of the bond markets. There are public bond markets(NYSE, NASDAQ as examples) in the US, but they act very different from the stock markets, and they don't represent most of the actual bond market that is traded every day. The NYSE bond market still does public auctions of bonds for example.

There are MANY private bond markets. They don't regularly/always intersect. Bond markets as they exist today are still very new, and still not well understood. Pimco basically created the first ever regular bond market only a few decades ago. Before that pretty much all bonds just got stuck in some insurance companies filing cabinet never to see the light of day until it was time to collect a coupon. Even now a large portion of the bond market does effectively the same thing, except it's a digital file these days instead of a filing cabinet.

If I show up @ Brokerage A with 5M and want to trade bonds, they will for sure let me talk to their actual bond desk, but that doesn't mean they can facilitate my trade. I may have to shop around a few different bond desks to get my trade done. It obviously depends on how big that bond desk is and if they have any expertise in the particular bond I want to trade.

For stocks, if I show up with 5M and want to trade a stock, any brokerage anywhere well let me buy the stock.

TRACE, the system FINRA uses to monitor and manage the US OTC bond market doesn't even track all bond trades. Though they do track most of them now, however.

Certainly the bond markets are slowly becoming more public, but they are nowhere near public yet.

- The creator received a letter from YouTube's legal team regarding the GRJ app, which they claim violates YouTube's terms of service.

- The creator, representing Futo, responded by stating that the GRJ app does not use the YouTube API services and is therefore not subject to those terms of service.

- The creator expresses frustration with how YouTube and other platforms often arbitrarily delete creator accounts and content, threatening people's livelihoods.

- The creator sees the GRJ app as a solution to help creators connect with their audience even if their accounts are deleted from platforms.

- The creator is critical of how the more users are willing to pay for content and software, the worse the experience and more abuse they face.

- The creator shares a personal example of being unable to play downloaded YouTube content offline, despite paying for YouTube Premium.

- The creator is done accepting the concept that the more one gives, the worse the treatment they receive in return.

- The creator states they have the resources and intention to legally fight YouTube over the GRJ app, unlike "four kids in a college dorm room."

- The creator emphasizes that Futo is a serious company, not just a hobby project, and is willing to spend significant money on legal representation.

- The creator is committed to continuing to offer the GRJ app to serve their customers, despite YouTube's demands to cease and desist.
I remember, waaaaay back in the early days of PostgeSQL, I was using it for project and it crashed in a way that corrupted our data. There was no hardware problem; it was just a database crash. (This was quite some time ago. I don't recall what year it was but I'm 68 now and have been a programmer since my senior year in college.) I switched to MySQL for that project. I assume PostgreSQL is not remotely prone to anything like that anymore!
Even fines seem wildly disproportionate. Its one thing to regulate how one interacts with the gocernment, it is quite a lot less appropriate for government to regulate private transactions when the validity is easily and cheaply verifiable by either party.

Not at all. In a debt-based economy, rising rates put downwards pressures on capital distributors, since they have to get more than the fed rate back on any investment/loan. Higher rates -> reduced money supply -> increased unemployment -> reduced demand => lower inflation.

While lower rates -> reduced unemployment -> increases market demand -> raised prices = increased inflation
