It's a problem that the transport level would normally solve and then provide a single coherent stream to the higher layer. But with 0mq providing multiple parallel streams between each pair of endpoints means that events from each of those streams aren't necessarily received in relative order. And yes depending how long obey-orders() takes, there are actually two instances of this ambiguity per command - when in the log stream did the call start happening, and when in the log stream did it finish. Assigning serial numbers to commands on the request-reply channel and then having the log channel publish those serials is exactly the type of having to invent an ad-hoc ordering protocol that I was talking about. Of course this can be done, but at the expense of adding accidental complexity and unnecessary resource usage.

There's a similar problem with MQTT where the spec explicitly disclaims the ordering of messages across topics. Lots of people just ignore this and write software that works perfectly fine in the real world where messages generally get transported in order anyway. But it's still technically incorrect and strikes me as a breeding ground for Heisenbugs.

A potential creative conservation path is to buy a shell LLC from a defunct O&G company, acquire the lease in the bidding process, and slow roll the development until the state attempts to void the lease. File suit when the state attempts to void the lease, and allow the legal process to drag on. Find flaws in the process and work the process. This should all still be tax deductible if your paperwork is in order.

"Why haven't you developed yet?" "Still working on it, things are hard you know, parts, labor, low price of natural gas, all that jazz. But we'll get to it, promise."

I haven't found anything on the investigation that is supposedly investigating the WCK workers murder. Unless the people who did that receives exemplary punishment, what sort of NGOs could distribute that aid? And ITF forces are still on the ground, and air.

I'd say NYT and FT have very little coverage of startups and Bloomberg has occasional startups. Techcrunch is still the leader for stories like "Company A has raised $B million to do C" which my friends and I are very interested in when we are interested in C. (e.g. where are you going to find a job doing C? what are the prospects for your own startup idea around C?)
It becomes a game of statistics. Once we believe we have the capability for detecting dark matter, then each experiment failing to reveal dark matter works against their existence. Keep in mind we can't rule out the existence of Unicorns, either, but that doesn't mean we seriously believe they exist.
It's painful isn't it? It really brings home the meaning of "quality over quantity."

Expect more of this with the Chevron deference ruling. Now we will have judges making these decisions using only technical input from the party in favor of looser restrictions.

In that situation Tesla would find themselves ultimately compelled to perform on the bids, or pay some sort of damages. They could gum up the works with lawyers for a while but the final bill would get larger as the courts got fed up with their shenanigans.

It's also a way to forgive yourself, and others, more easily. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fantastic to take responsibility, and I believe society would be so much better for it. But in some circumstances, some people are simply bound to fail: there are limits to how perfect one can be.

I remember noticing years ago (say 2008) that TechCrunch was heavy on stories about Facebook and Google long after either company ceased to be a startup.

I was told back then that this is a function of their readership which is not really interested in startups and is more interested in FAANG or whatever you call it these days.

I post quite a few "Company A has raised $B million to do C" articles to HN and I find that, despite HN being about startups, not a lot of people care if they haven't heard of company A before. It puzzles me a lot because if you are interested in starting a startup or working for a startup or selling things to a startup this is the foundation for your business intelligence.

Some of those charges are wrapped into the landing fee, while others (like IT/network connectivity) will be separate. Some include:

~$4,000 landing fee based on the OEW + 5% fuel being 340,000lb at $9.11/1000 lb (for an A350).

~$800 for up to 8 hours at a gate (or a flat rate of $36,000/mo per aircraft for a frequently visiting ship).

~$1,000 for common use of terminal facilities (for airlines that don't have dedicated terminals - often with internationals, where they have the common check in area that is used by multiple airlines).

And that's not all the charges the airline gets from the airport, that's just the majority of the charges for "1 aircraft, 1 landing/departure" at SFO.

> There is no devil whispering in your ear, that voice is you.

In general, I agree with you. But there is some nuance here. Some of us really do have devils whispering in our ears. We do not always have the agency to make correct decisions.

Responsibility takes different forms. Somebody took my body and I'm left holding the consequences. No one is going to clean up this mess and I have to deal with it. Personally, I was shocked how many of friends understood what happened and offered their support. Those that understood made no attempt to "hold me responsible" for my actions.

The rational numbers make up "zero percent" of the real numbers. It's a little hard to properly explain without assuming a degree in math, since the proper way to treat this requires measure theoretic probability (formally, the rationals have measure zero in the reals for the "standard" measure).

The short version is that the size of the reals is a "bigger infinity" than the size of the rationals, so they effectively have 'zero weight'.

So AI can build everything except the factory itself? Sounds like there's still a need for human labor.

And if the opposite is true and AI can build the factory, then it's not going to "cost tens of billions of dollars to build"; the factory will be just as cheap as the goods its producing. Literally everyone could have their own factory.

128 bytes would only be 42 characters if each character uses 3 bytes, as would be the case in some languages. Which isn't an unreasonable length, especially if the name has a lot of combining characters.
I think the job market in general for this kind of stuff is "small"; but you can find jobs. Look at Isomoprhic Labs for example. There are new AI/ML companies that have emerged in recent years, helped by success of things like AlphaFold. I think your question is really: does this research actually creates tangible results? If it did, it would be able to create more jobs to support it by virtue of being economically successfully and therefore growing?

It doesn’t matter, but companies can still get something out of it. For instance, if you’re trying to look more credible, you could share and pin your oped, quote or brand mention from TC on social media. This might fool someone who’s just glancing at your profile to figure out if a company is legit. No clicks involved and all it takes is for the person not to know how much TC has gone downhill.

Having your brand linked to (or even just mentioned) on sites like TC is also something seo spammers swear by too.

Indeed, the ivory tower has nice chats and ideas and is a cool place to hang out, but does application actually occur.
So many products make email verification optional in order to improve their funnel. But it's a huge security risk, because it leads to bugs like this. Very few engineers and PMs will actually stop to think: "Wait, what if the user's email address isn't verified?"

I kind of wish we could just pass a law that says you have to validate email addresses before attaching them to accounts at all. Because otherwise, competitive pressure will keep pushing people towards not doing it and aiming this gun at their foot in the name of conversions.

In the absence of a law: If your service insists on allowing unverified email addresses, you should store them in a completely different place in your database from verified ones. Maybe even obfuscate them with some encoding. Do whatever you can to make it really hard for anyone to accidentally rely on an unverified address. Ideally make it impossible for anyone except the team in charge of authentication to even see an unverified address.

On another note, holy shit. So many people (myself included) chose Google Domains specifically because they thought it would be secure and trustworthy, because it's Google. Won't make that mistake again.
We do kinda take it for granted when old terms are re-adapted to the new technology - for instance "splicing" video clips in something like iMovie. It's rarer to see it the other way around but I'm not sure it's any worse. Today you probably are less likely to say "doctored" or "edited" for that kind of manipulation described than you are "photoshopped."
I did worse than I thought I would since I've been at this since the late 90s. I blame code completion. I got to 68, and when another tag didn't come to me after 5 minutes, I gave up.

<blink> and <marquee> were my first guesses just for fun before I moved on and started with all the single character tags I could think of (a,b,i,p,s,u), then the various document tags (html, head, body, link, style, script, meta), then all the semantics (aside, article, nav, header, footer). Then the old school (table (and the descendants), div, p, span, etc...).

It made me realize how many tags I just do not use anymore (object or embed anyone?).
I think there's something very true about your idea here.

I don't know that there's really any study or data that would back it up, but if a large amount of people don't have the structure and expectations that employment provides, things would deteriorate quickly.

Obviously there's a spectrum here, and mindless jobs that pay as little as legally allowed aren't exactly providing fulfillment that people need. In any individual case, of course it makes sense to say "why should I/they have to do this? they should be able to chase passions or find other opportunity" but when you talk about that being "granted" to large chunks of the population (happening at essentially the same time).. I don't see it working out super well in the short or long term.
Or proceed ahead with the minimum viable extractor. A working well that draws one gallon a day is still a working well.
Actually, the early ARPAnet was mostly DEC PDP-10 machines.[1] MIT, CMU, and Stanford were all on PDP-10 class machines. Xerox PARC built their own PDP-10 clone so they could get on. To actually be on the ARPANET, you had to have a computer with a special interface which talked to a nearby IMP node. Those were custom hardware for each brand of computer, and there were only a few types.

The long lines of the original ARPAnet were leased by the Defense Communications Agency on behalf of DARPA. ARPAnet was entirely owned by the Department of Defense, which had
no problem renting a few more lines from AT&T.

AT&T was willing to lease point to point data lines to anybody. They were not cheap. I had to arrange for one from Palo Alto CA to Dearborn MI in the early 1980s, and it was very expensive.
