> Create a shell company in some remote tax haven with lax disclosure laws, have them pay the ransom, and close the shell company afterwards. Companies are already good at dodging taxes this way.

That only works for hiding income, not hiding expenses.

You create a shell company in Malta (for example). Now how do you get $$$ into that company so that it can pay the ransom?

Okay, so you assign your payment to $MALTA-COMPANY the line-item of 'consulting fees'. It only takes a few companies to do this before the tax authorities are wise to it.

After all, even for relatively tiny amounts companies still have to perform KYC on customers!.

Think about it this way: if it was that easy to hide expenses from authorities, embezzlement schemes would be a lot simpler than they are now.

Depends on what you consider part of the motor. Linear electric motors directly apply force to something else like a train car without themselves having moving parts.
The point isn't the time line of hiring the voice actor. The question is whether OpenAI was deliberately trying to make the voice sound like Johansson.

Suppose someone asked Dall-e for an image of Black Widow like in the first Avengers movie, promoting their brand. If they then use that in advertising, Johansson's portrait rights would likely be violated. Even (especially) if they never contacted her about doing the ad herself.

This is similar to that, but with voice, not portrait.
This would depend on the size of the project, and the difficulty of the solved problem.

With a simple problem, and a small codebase, Go is easier, because you need to know less language constructs.

With a complex problem, and a large codebase, a more expressive language is easier if used properly, because it can highlight what's important in the solution. The ratio of signal to noise when reading code is higher.
I don't see how quoting random articles proves either or, specially when it comes to specific jargon in a sport or even the original topic here wrt. engine vs. motor.

> This article gives an outline of Formula One engines, also called Formula One power units since the hybrid era starting in 2014. Since its inception in 1947, Formula One has used a variety of engine regulations. Formulae limiting engine capacity had been used in Grand Prix racing on a regular basis since after World War I. The engine formulae are divided according to era.

The answer from Toyota, where this kind of thing (anyone can stop the assembly line if they think there's a problem) originally came from: if the employee reasonably believed there was a problem, they suffer no consequences (and perhaps even get a merit) for pulling the red cord. Because you lose much more money next time there's a real problem, if no-one dares to stop the machine.

No. Well, yes, in that if the type of an object is dynamic, it's possible that certain functions are resolved at runtime usually through a "virtual table". The static type of an object is only known at compile time, and all that the virtual dispatch does is an indirection through the virtual table to the static constructor or destructor as required, and the static special functions always know how to construct, copy, or destroy any subobjects.

So, no, runtime introspection is not needed, but runtime dispatch may be needed.

Yes, but I guess you get to know the customers better and make sure the product fits them very well, or atleast better than the competitors.

Another more cynical thought is that this is a way of increasing revenue and profit quickly so the share price rises quickly. You get your options and bonus and leave before the rest of the customers leave.
One thing that discouraged me from tablets was how fast they went deprecated. I bought an iPad and a Samsung Galaxy Note around 2012. The Samsung Galaxy stopped having updates about 2 years after I bought it, and the iPad, although it still runs, it stopped receiving updates around iOS 9 and its only current use is as PDF viewer (not even Kindle works in it). A Lenovo Thinkpad I bought from that same year is still up and running and very useful whenever I need it.

There are probably a number of other cases. The one I remember is when Sega asked Lady Miss Kier of Deee-Lite fame to use her public image for a game. Nothing come out of it but Sega made the character Ulala[1] anyway. If you grew up in the 90s the characters name was strongly connected to Lady Miss Kier's catch phrase, but unfortunately she lost the suit and had to pay more than half a million.

I feel many modern environmentalists are selective on what they want to ban; it's typically stuff that wouldn't burden their lives. Case in point, I'll bet most environmentalists drink plastic bottled water.

Next up, replies with reasons why drinking bottled water is ok for environmentalists.
Yeah, this sounds like one of those many, many ideas to "do something" that just make the problem worse and/or create a new problem.
IMHO it would still be a useful feature, just one that is not strictly needed. You are not able to to pass around such structs, but neither is that possible with the suggested `defer` statement. The only advantage of `defer` is that the destructor code is inline, rather than in a separate destructor function.

But you could gain reusability of headers to be also used in C++, not needing to reinvent the wheel with new issues (e.g. variable lifetime), and a whole lot of existing experience with RAII.

math is a subject that stacks abstraction on abstraction on abstraction, year after year.

if a student didn't understand a fundamental math concept in an early year (perhaps for no fault of their own -- perhaps an undiagnosed issue impeding learning, or a teacher who didn't know the material well enough to teach it, or too many moves between too many classes and teachers), and the education system passed this student from math class to math class year after year without fixing the knowledge gap, so each year the student fails to absorb the year's new math concepts as they still haven't achieved fluency/mastery with the basics, then after some point it is no longer possible to compensate this with a brief remedial math course designed to plug a 1-3 year gap.

maybe for some folks you'd need to bridge a 5-10 year gap in math education, which could be achieved with customised tutoring perhaps, for 5-10 years. but a remedial course trying to teach a batch of students at once needs to assume some basic level of ability as a pre-req.
A very simple answer is that they also wanted SJ as a voice. That doesn't mean the original voice was trying to copy SJ.

They had a voice, the natural comparison watching the interaction is to Her, and they there is likely still time to get actually SJs voice before a public rollout.
Love the design, I don’t know if Vercel (Zeit) pioneered this or if they even took inspiration themselves but it’s beautiful and minimal. The rendering has some issues though.
that's because one can make the argument that dall-e was regurgitating - it would be different if you get somebody who happens to look like her to pose in a similar way.
I'm not sure if that's enough to protect OAI, it feels like they wanted SJ, found a similar voice actor as a version 1, tried to "officially" get SJ's voice, and when it failed instead of pulling it continued on. It still feels quite a deliberate move to use her likeness, and the "contact 2 days before" sounds like they really wanted to get her okay before using the other VA's voice.

Yeah but the threshold for Western governments to engage in foreign, local stuff is very high. It's almost exclusively

- some country or its exiled representatives directly ask for aid , e.g. against narco empires, but it's nowhere near a given that we react (e.g. Haiti, who has been begging for help for years now)

- it threatens international shipping safety on popular trade routes, e.g. the Houthis in Yemen or Somalian pirates... and it's funny that the shipping co's complaining the loudest until military intervention comes are the ones who refuse to fly their ships under Western flags.

- islamists threatening to spread their terrorism to other countries

And that's it. Our general publics aren't very happy any more to spend trillions of dollars on oil grab operations or even on desperately needed support such as in Ukraine.

I just want one that can be cleaned inside.

Several years ago I had 3 zones of a 4 zone mini split installed, and then after they filled up with mold and dust in one year (thanks, "eco" mode) I discovered it's practically impossible to clean the blower inside.

I did it anyway, by taking them all apart while still attatched to the lines, but I had to flex the lines as the units had to come off the hangers away from the wall to get the blower housing apart. This was obviously not something you do very many times before you spring a leak and I never did it again.

It was also super ungainly and messy and required moving everything out from underneath each unit, which was super inconvenient since this incuded book shelves and dressers and wall mounted shelves etc.

I also ended up getting cleaner on the bearings. One time, on year-old sealed bearings probably didn't hurt anything, but it's not exactly good to get bearings wet, especially regularly like if cleaning were actually a regular maintenance operation.

The units were clearly never meant to come apart, and I can't understand, why not??? The plastic screen does not actually keep the unit clean. It helps but it's just a screen not magic.
Most animals leave a lot of brute strength off the table by how they are designed, because there's more important concerns such as speed and explosivity. Strength is a tertiary concern.

The human biceps is a good example of this. From a mechanical standpoint, where its insertion is like barely below the elbow joint, the bicep has extremely poor leverage, to the point where it needs to exert much more force than the hand does probably by a factor ~20-50. If it somehow went diagonally between the shoulder and the wrist, maximizing leverage, ignoring everything unpractical about this you'd be able to curl a small car engine. The downside is that a diagonal bicep would give us about 40 degrees of range of motion for the elbow and we'd be completely unable to throw things.

Big exception is jaw muscles (which are set up closer to that bicep thought experiment). Since they don't need to "escape" from anything and can sacrifice a bit of range of motion, they can afford to optimize for strength and endurance.
Broadcom makes $35B a year in revenue.

VMWare made at most $13.4B.

Even with severe churn, VMWare would make around $12.8-13B.

VMWare is just a BU now, not a company, and the economics of managing "just another product line" is different from a company with a flagship product

As I've mentioned before on HN, the math is different and it makes sense to up prices and only concentrate on F1000s at that size.

> Pinning all your revenue on a much smaller customer base means losing one or two of them has a huge impact

Large customers are sticky. You can't migrate your hypervisor or cloud provider overnight. These are multi-year projects.

Also, it's better to target a smaller base of high paying customers instead of a large base of low paying customers because every sales motion and support ticket is an opportunity cost and a financial cost.

My employer used to have an internal "ambassador app" for employees. If someone I knew used our products and had a complaint, I could put their details and the details of the issue in that app, and they would get contacted on priority.

You're thinking like an engineer, and speak as if there is a right amount of time to spend on artistic endeavours; if you cross this threshold for you it is a "ridiculous and colossal amount of effort".

Budget aside, art isn't constrained or criticized by how much effort the artist put in.

All that matters is the result. A wallpaper or any other artistic creation isn't less beautiful or evocative because the artist spent thousands of hours on it.

JS has this error too, but nothing forces Java to have this issue if they fix the no-mutable-captures problem. Dart got this right from the start.

Here's JS showing the same issue.

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
array.push(() => i)
}
array.forEach((fn) => console.log(fn())) // Prints 10 every time.

The correct fix is that each loop iteration gets a fresh i instead of i just being mutated. Currently you can't see the difference in Java between there-is-only-one-i and there-is-a-fresh-i-every-time, so Java is free to do this right.

More details about the Bliss wallpaper: https://windowswallpaper.miraheze.org/wiki/Bliss

> With Bliss, Microsoft went a step further than merely licensing it: they bought the full rights to the image meaning no company would ever be able to license the photo from Corbis again, as the image was often used as part of XP's marketing and the Luna theme is modelled around its color scheme. It was purchased for an undisclosed amount of money in the low six figures; O'Rear cannot reveal the exact amount without violating a non disclosure agreement. He did not receive the full cost as Corbis handled the sale. As a result of its Microsoft acquisition, it was permanently removed from Corbis' website and has never been available on Getty Images or other sites that Corbis cross-licensed photos to. The vertical shot was also included in the acquisition, as O'Rear cannot release it due to his agreement with Microsoft.
