Haven't read it fully (to be honest this topic is new to me), but it's funny that as I read this article, I also happen to listen to a microtonal music: Flying Microtonal Banana by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.

Both the name of the album and the name of the band sounds funny, trust me when I say this: It's one of the best microtonal album out there. They really mixed the sound element of turkish(?) music into the album. Highly recommended!
Sometimes these CEOs and "leaders" make mask-off comments and it just demonstrates the gulf between how they and normal people think. It can be quite frightening sometimes to imagine that these kinds of people are the people who wield power in our world, these people who share such little in common with you

Most of the patterns in the demo have loops. If you make a "repeat data object" with a "bullet firing action" in it, how would you differentiate that from a loop?
Why don't I? Because journalists are merely peddlers of sensation, taking my money so I can feel angry and sad at their pleasure. Sincerely fuck that noise, they are cancers of society.

You could, of course, argue I am placing the cart before the horse. Journalism is a cancer because I am not giving them my money, you could argue.

But you know what? Fine. That doesn't change the fact they are a cancer. I am not paying for cancer. Sincerely fuck that noise.

The world would be much more pleasant without journalism.

I’ll address the argument, before I address the dismissal.

This additional information added narrows the options.

As stated, the CEO is simply a source of prestige, who satisfies the other party’s ego.

None of this, information changes my questions or makes them irrelevant.

If anything, it is clear that the CEO is completely fungible. They are only needed 4 times a year, to satisfy the ego of 4 potential revenue sources.

The core ‘work’ is done by the rest of the firm.

That means, of the 1 bn dollars in revenue that you ascribed to the CEO, they represent a very small part of the actual effort.

What shareholder value do they bring the rest of the year?

In essence - CEO positions are not immune to economic logic. They, like the firm, work for shareholders.

Based on the added data, it would seem that there is reason to take umbrage with CEO privileges - such as their ability to work remotely.

After all, if they are doing nothing the rest of the year, they can be paid less for it.

For me, communication is at its core, problem solving.

Stating that someone shouldn’t problem solve, while being oblivious to your own thin hypothetical, is perilously close to ignorance and close mindedness.

It is a certainly a form of gatekeeping, and blindness to one’s own biases.

Why not check our assumptions? They are obvious to you, but

1) Will anyone else come up with those same assumptions given a short 1 para of text?

2) How do yours assumption hold up to scrutiny unless they are exposed and discussed?

TLDR: Providing a hypothetical isn’t a full stop in a discussion. It’s the opposite.
I disagree. I really liked that this post focused on the subject matter, rather than the history.
History can be interesting in itself, but I find that when trying to actually learn something it is just a layer of distraction. Maybe “casual“ reader would find it interesting to read about the history. But more technically inclined readers might then just bounce off the piece because they would have to weigh through history in order to get to the part which they actually found interesting.
This is exactly how I do it too but I'm not too proud about it. I can propose index changes in a postgres db and explain the reason behind performance improvements but I can't remember the CSS properties that'd put my content in the correct boxes.
$100 is plausible though, and if you had some outdated mining hardware (still likely to be single use ASIC hashing setups rather than computers) along with a lack of morals/ethics, then I can see it happening for sure.

Show HN: A ninja's Handbook: A book on privacy, security, and anonymity online
This book was a project that I started after two years of constant paranoia and anxiety, trying to achieve a decent level of privacy and anonymity. From the things I learned during that time, I decided to write a book to help jump-start the privacy and anonymity journey of those who might be in the same situation.

I know this book is not a complete guide on how to harden your devices and operating systems, and it wasn't meant to be. It was supposed to cover the very fundamentals of privacy, security, and anonymity rather than the highly technical stuff that might exhaust and frustrate normies.

I suppose now the engine evaluates all of the Locations that any pattern could ask for every frame (or more often?) so it can store a buffer of past values, all so we could avoid writing aim() and then wait().

Then we write a new class or add new members to our class every time we want to do anything even slightly different. For example we'll have two members for doing a fixed angular and temporal step between bullets, then another for controlling the number of volleys of a fixed number of simultaneous bullets with fixed angular and temporal steps between them, then a couple more for controlling linear increases and decreases in the volley count, then when implementing Border of Wave and Particle we may as well add quadratic terms to all of the above (although we will only need one of them). Later we'll realize that our linear step-up-and-down knob doesn't actually differentiate between these sorts of things:

e
.
. .
. . .
. .
.

e
.
. .
. . .
. .
.

e
.
. .
. . .
. .
.

so we'll turn it into two knobs or add some hack that lets us start adding angular increments after a delay in the middle of a single non-programming data-command.

To allow some enemies to aim some single bullets to the left or the right of the player, we'll just add an arithmetic expression evaluator to our location member too :)

I would love to understand where the war-like anti-Chinese sentiment is coming from in US elite circles.

I get that china is a direct economic threat. That’s obvious.

I also get that china is a philosophical threat on a level different to the Soviet Union (that was freedom produces more wealth than totalitarianism - which the US won.).

The problem with China is that the argument is much harder to win - china is doing well economically (kinda) - and has not given up its totalitarian control. Their argument was the Soviet Union tried central command economics whereas we are something something power of markets and chinese culture.

What gets me is that this is not something to win on the battlefield - this is something where we (being liberal democracies) need to double down on liberal democracy- both the production of wealth and the use of that wealth to raise the living standards of all its citizens - in other words if we think freedom is better we make it so fucking obvious we live in utopia it’s painful.

Yea that’s wealth taxes, yes it’s more spending on infrastructure and education and sharing the wealth, and teaching ourselves to aspire to better.

Not (just) having bigger guns.
Perhaps you are missing the point because the problem is not one event but the process. The accusations of conflict of interest predates the PaaS shutdown which is just the final step of grinding out any technology independence.

Back in the day they used Skyscape for IaaS. They used to have a rule against any IaaS contracts longer than a year. They would issue guidance about issues of platform lock-in with third party PaaS, recommend open standards to maximise portability and control costs and brag about migrating their VMs as proof of their independence. A government owned PaaS is in part a cost control strategy.

Today they migrated from their portable solution to Amazon specific lambda functions and database services. The hooks are in, Amazon is at the wheel and can now crank the costs confident that the whale is trapped. Let's check back in a few years and see how the spend has spiralled.

FWIW but if you want an example of the revolving door: Liam Maxwell was the government CTO then CIO then "UK National Technology Adviser"... currently Amazon "Head of Government Transformation". This is the transformation they wanted: tight coupling between Amazon services and the public purse.
Australia's taxpayer-funded news [0], while maybe not as bad as some commercial news sites, is still terrible. Clickbait headlines, lack of editing, lets-just-repeat-a-bunch-of-tweets-and-call-it-an-article etc.

Last year I paid for a subscription to one of the independent sources of news here [1], but haven't made use of it because, honestly, news is pointless. I find it mostly makes me upset about things that are completely out of my control. It doesn't change my behaviour in any positive way.

I did consider continuing my subscription, just because "independent journalism" is a societal good, even if I don't consume it. But then it is in direct competition with other charities that I could donate to.

I didn't read it that way at all. I read it as a strong validation of the idea.

Like if I have cancer, and I read that they cured a different type of cancer, I'd be like, "now one for mine, please".

There's no implication here that curing that other cancer was a waste of time.

Show HN: Word2go 2.0 – A word-learning app using browser notifications
Excited to share the latest updates to my word reminder app (see my last post)! I made some significant improvements to enhance usability and provide better user feedback. Here’s a rundown of what’s new:

Dynamic Maximum Words Value:

Now it has a "REMEMBER AGAIN" and "FORGET" and using an algorithm it retrieves based on these inputs, to invoke some degree of spaced repitions,

You can now set the maximum number of words (MAX_WORDS) that the app will handle. We’ve added an input field to adjust this value dynamically.
New Validation: If you input a value larger than the number of rows in your CSV file, you’ll receive a notification alerting you that the value is too large.
Enhanced Notifications:

We’ve improved the notification system. When the MAX_WORDS value is updated, you’ll receive a notification with the new value. If the new value exceeds the CSV file’s total rows, you’ll be notified with an error message indicating a "LARGE VALUE."

Notifications are only shown if permission is granted, ensuring a seamless experience.
The app has been optimized to handle file uploads more efficiently and provide accurate row counts.
Or they'll get hired, get taught really basic shit (chmod/chown) on the job, get a cisco/AWS certificate then leave 6 month later to join a better paying job.
I know a lot of this stuff is legally pretty new (though AGPLv3 is almost 17 years old now) and there's not a huge body of case law around it. But--and I'm earnestly asking here--is there case law where courts reach in and modify licenses separate from the authors' explicit intent? It's hard for me to imagine a court doing that, especially with all the reliance interests involved (I use AGPLv3 with the understanding that subclassing requires release, court says no, now my business model is toast).

> I'd argue that "subclassing" essentially constitutes just using an interface (in the general sense, not in the Java sense) to some existing software, so in Minio's case, using their API would constitute a similar usage pattern -> my "derivative" work must now be GPL licensed.

No, again the difference is incorporation. In order to subclass something you have to incorporate it into your code.
How to Create an Sop for IT Procedures
The concept is interesting, but a problem is communicating with others who use iOS/iPadOS devices. They typically can't use this kind of app, because of limitations imposed by the OS[1]. Then, because of networking effects, it becomes very difficult for most people to use.

It partially inspired me, right :)
What is it? This is a straightforward web application that leverages browser notifications to remind you of new words throughout the day. You upload a CSV file with your vocabulary list, and the app takes care of the rest. The notifications will pop up at intervals, displaying words and their translations to keep you engaged and learning. The CSV can be very long, just put first row be the word and the next row same column be the translation Built with JavaScript, utilizing the browser’s notification to deliver reminders.

reason of making I created this app to make learning German more convenient and integrated into daily life. It’s an attempt to turn passive time into productive learning moments.

try it You can upload a CSV file with your target vocabulary and start receiving notifications right away. The app is free to use and doesn't require any setup beyond uploading your word list.

If you have any feedback or feature requests, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for checking it out!
...but Sun went bankrupt and was acquired by Oracle. Not the best comparison.
In purpose built hotels each room is separately fused. I don't know what the price of electricity was but if we assume 0.10 USD per kWh then 1.5 kUSD is 15 000 kWh, roughly 30 kW continuous for three weeks. It would not surprise me if that would trip a hotel room breaker.

In the US with 120 V domestic circuits it corresponds to roughly 250 A so would need to be distributed over multiple 120 V circuits anyway. US 120 V circuits are typically 15 A (as far as I can tell from a quick web search) so you would need to connect about 16 of them.

It all sounds most unlikely.
Popper would be nauseated by how he is quoted today.

Overall it is a complete inversion of historic facts that Nazis were successful because people had too many rights to express themselves. On the contrary, they gained support because people restricted speech out of fear and they could portrait themselves as victims. After they came to power they thankfully expanded on such restrictions of course.

I believe the number of totalitarian regimes that came to power because of too many freedoms regarding expression is fairly low, not to say exactly zero. But exactly none of such regimes can survive without censorship.

So the case should obviously be quite clear.

Cave diving uses that phrase as well.

I suspect it does originate in the military, though, and probably reloading guns and cannons while under fire. Might go back further than that to bows and arrows.

Wang Chuanfu: A Name Everyone in the West Should Know
Hi everyone,
If you want to be a new drone operator, there some FAQs you may need to know . As a drone enthusiast, I would like to share some common questions here .
1）Can the remote controller install other apps?
The remote controller has completely open permissions, similar to smartphones ; there are no specific restriction for installation and uninstallation. It does not support QGC and the K3A temporarily.
2）Unable to connect FC ?
Check if matching the right remote controller. Check whether the baud rate matches the flight control.
3）The remote controller is constantly beeping?
When the remote controller fails to connect to the receiver, it will keep beep as warning.
4）The remote control broadcast volume is too low to hear clearly?
Find the volume options in the settings and adjust the volume to a suitable level.
5）What other functions does the Type-C port have besides charging?
Besides charging, It can connect to the computer to view and transfer data files.
6）How many ways can the remote controller connect to the internet?
It can connect to the internet via a SIM card or through Wi-Fi .

Any other questions about agricultural drone，leave your comments in the discussion.
It's funny how this guy, as most rich business types, thinks he actually knows everything, and he's an expert in all domains. What the hell does he know about war? He's not a general or admiral or something. Of course he imagines being CEO of a large company is the same thing, but it's really not.

Something to keep in mind when reading his other pronouncements.
I found the comment you replied to completely reasonable (see my other comment above).

You're making a lot of negative assumptions here, but more importantly, your comment is unpleasant beyond what they warrant, even if they were true.
I'm not a fan of cloud too, but I have to admit that the networks of these big cloud providers built is just better than self-hosted ones. When they say they'll distribute your file globally, they mean it, as long as you pay of course.

But I would rather say, cloud is not for everyone. Especially in the case mentioned in the article. Think this: do you really REALLY need to distribute enlarged images globally at top speed? I bet most people just don't.

Same thing goes for "scaling", it's true the cloud can do that very well, but do you really need it that bad?
