At least for Shkreli he wasn't wrong. Massively increasing the price for a drug is legal.

> [1] On August 4, 2017, the trial jury found Shkreli guilty on two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and not guilty on five other counts which included wire fraud.

Granted, the case started in 2015 probably in response to him hiking the prices in 2014 but the thing he was being an edge lord about isn't what directly did him in. However, Capone didn't go to prison for murder either.

Is that… an About Schmidt reference?!?
It's counterintuitive that the owner can have less rights than the others. Honestly, I've never seen it put in practice in any real-world file system.

Incidentally, this is also not very efficient: UNIX permissions as they are today require 9 bits, namely rwx for owner, rwx for group, and rwx for others. But in an alternative universe where owner's rights win over group's rights which win over others' rights, permissions could be coded in just 6 bits: 2 to express who can read, 2 for who can write, and 2 for who can execute. Each set of 2 bits would be interpreted this way: 00=nobody, 01=only owner, 10=group or owner, 11=everybody.
It's a waste of time because the majority of their claims were poorly constructed, disingenuous, and subsequently thrown out.

All this has done is incentivize AI research companies to be even more closed and opaque.
Focus on things that need AI in these demos. Even a simplified non-technical UX to add a watermark does not need AI.

Yep, and none of them managed to solve the issue of resiliency without some kind of a stake.

From your own link:

> Intercoin’s ledger technology requires the sender to endorse a transaction after a supermajority of validators have approved it.

> Validators periodically check one another with “proof of resource” techniques.

Basically, it just moves the problem of validating individual transactions to validating the set of trusted notaries via proof-of-stake.

Just another rehash of crapcoin bullshit.

As someone who grew up quite a while ago with the BBC, there's some serious delusion going on here about the historical and present day nature of that institution.

Whether or not it is true that the BBC has (or has not) been "captured by wokeness", the objections to this tend to hinge on its reputation for objectivity and dispassion in the past.

But the BBC has never been objective or dispassionate. It has been a steadfast supporter of the status quo. If it didn't treat socialism and communism with the idiocy that modern day Fox News does, it certainly offered them no serious coverage outside of a few intellectual "talk shows", even then only as a curiosity set against "what we all know is the truth".

The fact that someone might be upset that the BBC or other similar organizations choose not to give "full coverage" to conservatism should not obscure that the same organizations have never provided much to any "radical" cultural or political phenomenon.

The cherry-picking was always real, and it is generally only Americans who live under the ridiculous idea that there can be "objective" journalism. There isn't, and there never has been, and there never will be (in the context of broadcast or daily media, anyway).

Lesson learned.

I needed it for an experiment where I had about 6TB of small files to process and wanted to have them on a single drive. It did the job and then I repurposed it for backup / dump drive for stuff I didn't want to delete, but also didn't now where else to put it.

The drive shows up in the system but with 0TB capacity, I recall once or twice it reported 8TB but I was unable to read anything.

I'll have a look one day maybe that was something simple like dead cap that I could replace (I have microscope, rework station).

I get what you're saying, but being an obnoxious tightwad isn't actually against the rules, and it's not OK that there are some societies in the world where being an obnoxious tightwad towards a force ostensibly tasked with PROTECTING their fellow citizens (including the obnoxious one) will take this as a cue to 1) violate your civil liberties/rights, and/or 2) commit bodily harm to your person, and then 3) get away with it primarily without consequence.

I am scared of the police. In the rare times I have to interact with them I am overwhelmingly polite and cautious because I know that they have the ability to fuck up my day, and maybe my life.

But that's a HORRIBLE status quo. That is a bug in our society that needs to be eradicated.

Plus, I've got basically every privilege that exists under the sun, so luckily I have to encounter this problem only very rarely. I can't imagine what it must be like if you have the misfortune of being born in the wrong place or looking the wrong way, such that you have automatically tense/hostile encounters with the police continuously. At some point it must be exhausting to try to maintain this composure the entire time.

By imitating Disney, that's how!

But yeah, your impression lines up with what I was hearing 10 years ago too. Magic Leap was leaning waaaaay too hard into a premium market that was too poorly formed to satisfy, with decreasingly valid value prop as the field of VR evolved. Google Glass would bite the bullet, HoloLens found a few government contractors to pick up the bill and surely Vision Pro will peter out with similar slight entrenchment.

Mainstream VR just doesn't make sense, and consumers won't admit it because we're desperate to be wowed. I like my Oculus Quest, but even a perfect version of the headset wouldn't replace my phone or my PC.
No the <10GB size of the model does not imply any less copyright infrigement is occuring IMHO.
The fact that there is a very efficient compression involved does not change the fact that a copy of the copyrighted material, that copy being not compressed in any way, was input into the process that generated the model, in breach of the copyrighted material's copyright.

Just Made My First Sale on First Indie Project
Hey HN!

I’m excited to share that I’ve made my first sales for my indie project, Usemoji.app! While preparing for a major launch on Product Hunt, I’m currently gathering early users through seed shares on Twitter and my email list. It’s been amazing to see the early traction and support. More updates will follow as we get closer to the big day!

Today’s Launch Stats:
I started the launch by reaching out to email subscribers and sharing updates on social media with the #buildinpublic hashtag. Here’s a quick snapshot of the numbers:

191 emails sent
7 unique clicks on the links
2 unsubscribes
2 sales
It’s been an exciting day, and I’m looking forward to seeing how Usemoji.app continues to grow and evolve based on feedback and user engagement.

What is Usemoji.app?
In the digital age, emojis have become essential for how we express ourselves. Usemoji.app enhances your messaging experience by providing intelligent, context-aware emoji suggestions. Whether it’s a quick text or a detailed message, Usemoji.app helps your communication stand out.
Pro-Tip: WD-40 isn't a very durable lubricant or a very useful penetrant oil. It was designed for aerospace purposes but DIY users cargo-culted it and it became a product.

For lubrication, use a more appropriate lubricant like lithium or graphite grease, motor oil, cutting oil, or dry lubricant in dusty environments.

For a penetrant oil, 50-50 (by volume) acetone & ATF is one of the best for rusty ferric materials. (And, in general, you should be using an anti-seize compound orthreadlocker, and/or surface coatings to prevent rust.)

> I get that you want some division between system and user

Which, as others have pointed out, means various system services running as other users (since you don't want them running as your user, and you also don't want them running as root). On most desktop unix machines that only one person uses, that's the main use case for multiple users (and for multiple groups since groups are used to manage access to various functions like printing, usb sticks, cd-roms, etc.).

So here's the problem. There are some crimes that have a relatively low probability of detection. It doesn't even have to be that low; say it's 40%.

Then there are people with nothing to lose. Some mid-level manager who isn't very good at it, isn't making his numbers. If he plays by the rules, he's about to get canned and lose his house and his wife. If he cheats and gets caught, there's a 40% chance he goes to jail, but a 60% chance he not only makes a lot of money but gets promoted to the head of the company because his numbers are so good. There are going to be too many people willing to take the risk in that case. It's going to happen a lot of the time.

To fix this you need to attach a penalty to someone who both has something to lose and is in a position to detect the crime. But the someone with something to lose are the owners and when they're diffuse passive investors they're not in a position to detect the crime.
It seems you're arguing based on the assumption that real time is exactly 365x24x60x60 seconds every year or exactly 366x24x60x60 seconds on leap years. It's not.

The problem is that we have a very precise definition of a second in terms of decay of atoms (maybe precise is the wrong word, as it's the statistical likelihood of x atoms decaying given certain conditions, but whatever). The problem is arguably that this is over-defined.

There's a good case that a second is actually how it's always been defined historically up until 1967 - as 1/60th of a minute, which is 1/60th of an hour, which is 1/24th of a day. That's what UNIX seconds are. 86400 of them in one day. And we have a pretty good idea what a solar day is, and have been doing calendars based on them for thousands of years.

But if you want to base your times on the decay of caesium, then you can do that, but you have to accept that it no longer corresponds neatly to a solar day any more. The length of a day fluctuates by a couple of seconds a day in either direction, which we largely just ignore because over time, that mostly cancels out. Personally, I don't think leap seconds should ever have been introduced - over the last century or so, the earth has been rotating "faster" than our idealised second based on radioactive decay, so we've added leap seconds. But more recently, it's been rotating "slower", and we're at the situation where we need negative leap seconds. Maybe really, we should have just left it alone and over a longer period it'd all have averaged out anyway.

But what's interesting is that apart from the meddling with leap seconds, we've decided that a "typical day" has exactly 86400 seconds where a second is some constant time, even though that isn't true of the reality of our planet. Some days are too short when defined this way, some days are too long. But on average, this 86400 seconds is pretty much right.

And arguably, any day that needs a leap second isn't "wrong", the problem is actually that we over defined a second before we realised that the periodicity of the solar day wasn't a constant. I wouldn't advocate trying to redefine what a second is again, because actually having a constant time second is incredibly useful for defining all the other derived SI units. But with that usefulness, you also need to be aware that it's not the same as the traditional timekeeping second.

But in any case, except for leap seconds, all the world's time systems agree on 84000 seconds per day. So, can you make the case for why you think UNIX time in particular is a problem? And what would you rather have instead?
Because I don't want to pay monthly for a bunch of content I probably won't read. I want to pay a small amount of money, with as little friction as possible, for the specific content I want to read now.
This kind of exactly misses the point the comment you're replying to is making. The point isn't that just complying and handing over your info is the ideal goal. The point is that, pragmatically speaking, it's a lot easier to just do that and move on with your life than making a big scene about standing up for your ideals - because A) You're not going to change shit in that situation anyway and B) It's just going to make it harder for you.

> Something a schoolyard bully would say to the kid who's too small to defend themself but refuses to comply.

Yeah, probably right. But, also, yeah, easier sometimes to just appease the bully and move on with life.

Our populace is pretty heavily armed, hunting is pretty ingrained in the national psyche. No one's arguing for getting rid of hunting rifles.

You might be surprised. I have some friends who did a lot of drugs at one point or another in their life and ended up later holding a clearance. Addiction might be different, but I wouldn't let your past deter you from looking if there was an opportunity you really liked. The clearance process looks more at if you have a problem that can be exploited.

(Now, that said, holding a clearance can be a pain for other reasons already detailed in this thread. A lifetime ban on talking about some things can be an annoying cognitive burden to carry, also.)
I love this aircraft! It was an amazingly advanced aircraft for its time, which is perhaps not surprising when one discovers that no other than Howard Hughes' TWA funded its development.

I can highly recommend the book by Ken Wixey (ISBN 978-0752417660) for a history of both the military and civilian variants; it starts with the Lockheed company's beginnings after the Great War and goes all the way to the Lockheed Starliner (the final variant of the Constellation). Suffice it to say that the model was significantly more reliable than a certain other vehicle with the same name!

Also, there's a Super Constellation that you can fly in the FlightGear simulator[1], which is remarkably accurate (and, dare I say, a big challenge to fly).

>I would absolutely pay for news if I could get an aggregate subscription that covers all the major players....

Isn't this what the Apple News+ service offers? I haven't used it, but for US $13 per month Apple says it offers content from over 400 publications. Of course it necessitates using one of the Apple OS platforms, and I've heard both good and bad about the overall design and presentation of the content, but it seems like this kind of service is akin to what you describe.

I'd think this kind of broad offering would appeal to readers more than a single-site subscription. The Apple cost of $13 per month sounds much better than, say, the NY Times cost of $25 every four weeks, but maybe the Apple access to publications is limited or has other problematic attributes.

This is one of the first really important lessons you learn in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Everyone walks in, day one, and is dumping adrenaline everywhere they look. I mean, the person in front of you is literally engaging you in practicing murder, so I get it. Everyone starts that way. Super tense, super shallow breathing, and everyone wears themselves out in about 30-40 seconds. Of a 6 minute round.

Doesn’t matter if you’re the most insanely buff dude ever, or seriously overweight. The first guy has better conditioning, no doubt… but not this kind of conditioning. One of my favorite things was watching a new guy walk in, looking like he had maybe 7% body fat, 6’2” at least, plays D1 basketball, and is just nothing but stacked muscle… and then him rolling with a 5’6” 130lb woman who just wipes the floor with him, because training matters more than strength, but even more importantly, breathing and staying calm, slow, and smooth matters even more. The basketball player spends the first minute or so using all his strength to try and get this “puny” girl off of him, unable to, and is now completely gassed. Meanwhile she’s tapped him twice and could go for a run.

Eventually, the most important thing you learn is to relax and breathe. Technique eventually comes, through iteration and lots and lots of practice; eventually, things become second nature.

But breathing? Reminding yourself to relax and roll smart, not fast? That I need to remind myself of most days, because again: you’re facing someone practicing killing you. :)
