Or to really drive the point home, the only reason we give companies exclusive control over certain names (trademarks) is so that they can build a reputation. If companies are going to just license out the names to whoever gives them money anyway then we might as well get rid of trademarks entirely and let anybody produce crap knock off products without having to pay a trademark owner.

We've got China cheating with their massively deflated currency, so how the market allocates capital is already screwed.

That's why they targeted members of Hezbollah (a terrorist organization) and not children playing football like Hezbollah does.
The brevity carried over to Plan 9. Re-posting my older comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4023385):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs follows the Unix philosophy. A lot of legacy has been shed. I can count 13 options to ls, 11 options to sed and just 5 to sed.

The standard Plan 9 shell, Rc, is described in mere ~500 lines of manpage, while Bash takes whooping ~5400 lines.

Oh, and there is no `dll hell' in P9 :-)
What's the probability that the pagers were also bugged to allow Mossad to listen in? Pretty high, I would guess.
Ironically this appears to be because another company wanted to protect its trademark.

As it can be expected the situation is extremely murky. Hungarian press is abuzz with this, I will translate a few hard facts and leave speculation to others. I will also use English sources as appropriate. Hungarian sources are below the list, you can run them through automated translation to fact check me.

* There's a small consulting company called BAC after the initials of the founder Bársony-Arcidiacono Cristiana. One of their services is https://archive.fo/kwTKA "We develop international technology cooperation among countries for the sale of telecommunication products. This cooperation entails scaling up a business from Asia to new markets e.g. developing countries". Their home page https://archive.fo/dXtMx lists these: Strategic Advisor for major International Organizations including Financial companies (Venture Capitals, IAEA, UNESCO, CNRS, EC, etc.).
Business Developer and Savvy Analyst for Innovative/ Solutions in diverse fields (Sustainable Development (SDGs), Water, Energy, Resilience-Mitigation-Adaptation, Capacity Building, Complex Emergencies, Digitalization (AI, Blockchain, ICT) within Humanistic Economy.

* The official place of business is just a business "placeholder". The woman who answered the doorbell for journalists said no one ever from BAC is there, maybe once a month a mail comes which she receives.

* This house is also the registered address for a number of companies. Two companies have Russian owners. One of them is an oil wholesaler.

* BAC revenue in 2023 was 210 million forints and 13 million profit. What's remarkable is how person-related expenses (payroll etc) was a mere 0.5 million forints for the entire year. Hungarian monthly minimum wage was a bit over 0.25M HUF. One million HUF is about 2820 USD.

* NBC talked to the founder. According to her "I don’t make the pagers. I am just the intermediate. I think you got it wrong". https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/taiwan-firm-denies-making...

* The founder's linkedin is still up https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristiana-b%C3%A0rsony-arcidiaco... Her PhD from 2006 is at https://ucl.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/fulldisplay?do... so it seems real.

In conclusion, if I needed to speculate based on the LinkedIn page and the archived consulting page, what gives me pause: if this woman indeed exists she is one of the most talented people in all of Hungary. Seven languages, degrees in diverse fields and a PhD in physics. At the same time, I have indeed found a PhD from 2006 and her grants and scholarships from even earlier are probably not hard to verify either. I do not know what to think.
Larry Ellison doesn't have to worry about being profiled as an easy mark to contribute toward some government enforcement worker's KPIs (which themselves are frequently the result of less than noble goals) or getting screwed as part of some higher level initiative to go hard on some thing so of course he sees no danger in this sort of thing.

Edit: Now that I think about it you can sub in entire demographics in place of "Larry Ellison" and the above statement still holds other than the usual error from using a broad brush.
I never said "only for" - you're putting words in my mouth. I said that the idea that Israel will still have a Jewish majority isn't crazy, and can be seen in pretty much any other country in the world, yet it's "wild" to you only when it's happening in Israel.

Unfortunately recent history showed that it's quite an essential need for protecting Jews from genocide. If you have a better idea for how we can be sure that our government will not try to kill us because we're Jewish, I'm sure many Jews would love to hear it.

Would be nice if there was some solution to actually run code, so it can be used to pair up and teach or test people. The UI could also benefit from some streamlining (that sidebar takes up a lot of space for info you don't need to see all the time). Also if there's any possibility to share a directory of files to simultaneously work on from one of the user's (or the server's) system. That'd make this a pretty good product in itself.
> Conducting a military operation that has a fully predictable rate of civilian casualties is morally equivalent to targeting those civilians.

By that logic only the absolute number of (expected) civilian deaths matters... which can't be right.

If it were true, then exploding a city bus (1 soldier, 10 civilians) would be more moral than striking a military base (1,000 soldiers, 11 civilians.)

It would also suggest a kind of blame-shifting if one side decides to install their missile launchers in the playgrounds of elementary schools or whatever.
Magnit Launches AI Assistant to Streamline Hiring
What GP says - it's interesting to know specifically which ones, out of "a bunch of other health conditions", can get exacerbated by work stress to the point of killing you. It's interesting to try and gleam, across many such stories, which conditions are likely to get you first. It's interesting then to backtrack this to warning signs. Etc.

> Stress has a direct effect on gut metabolism. There's a reason they call it second brain and whatnot.

That reason is just a recent meme, best I can tell.
Did you read the linked article? The death of that woman fixed two major problems: 1) limited working hours for the physicians, not primarily for the deceased, 2) brought serotonin syndrome to light. I was shocked when I read that the physician prescribed an opioid to treat "jerking motions of the hand" to a patient that's on a serotonin active drug. With today's knowledge this just screams serotonin syndrome: check her blood pressure, temperature and cool her down if needed.

First reactions were fully in line with what you're presenting. But hard facts are that a young person doesn't just die from overwork. They may develop PTSD, or anxiety disorder, or may lose or gain weight, or a whole bunch of other things. But a death is not normal, it has to be scientifically investigated.

But the truth is, even if you can find a rare product such as this, which is really Chinese assembly with US know how, direct control, and methods, 99.999% if the stuff you buy when Made ib China will be... junk.

The exception to the rule is not relevant. Made in China means "junk".
It’s not unremarkable, or even very common. But lots of countries do this besides Israel (targeted strikes to eliminate targets and remind would-be targets that it’s hard to get out of reach). It’s true that they tend to be on the high-tech side compared to say Iran, and that democracies most of the time at least try to make it look legal.

I disagree with the other post you mention, FWIW.

It's difficult enough to secure the supply chain towards the OEM as it is. It's nigh impossible for a vendor/OEM to secure the supply chain towards retail and distribution, not relative to nation-state attackers of great sophistication and with huge budgets. This sort of thing could happen with any smartphone, any feature phone, laptops, etc. Though it was a lot easier to mount this attack given an order for thousands of units from one company.

I have used statistical models of volatility to improve execution prices.

It doesn’t require very advanced modeling to estimate a probability of e.g. getting filled at midprice (saving half the bid/ask spread) within a short time period.

Just basic Bayesian with a look-back window.

Execution cost is a big topic in the trading industry.
Fluoride treatments at the dentist and fluoridated tooth paste are a big factor in my area. A commenter also mentioned fluoridated water, which had the same objective, but it causes demineralization of teeth (fluorosis) and possibly behavioural / hormonal changes (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6520156/, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001393512..., https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/opinions_l... ). I'm glad fluoridization of water isn't a thing where I live.
I helped man one at a Brickworld. Lots of chasing down little plastic soccer balls all over the floor.

The whole thing just makes sense as a software dev. There's an input standard, output standard, and I guess a processing rate expectation (or not - that was probably the second biggest issue we faced was some slow contraptions that would back up). (The first biggest issue was a contraption that "pinged" the balls through the air to a landing container and would sometimes send them off randomly or kids would try to catch them.)

This is partly from LEGO fans previous work on railroad, town, space base, etc. modular builds where they have a spec for where each unit should connect and people bring in their own creations and link them all up.

I've always wanted to do something like the great ball contraption in general at makerfaires but open to all kinds of build materials, techniques, power, etc.
I have tried Beta5. It is awesome.

Excellent responsiveness, vastly improved hardware support and surprisingly large software collection. Lots of important software such as Libreoffice, Krita or Audacity have been ported, alongside webkit-based browsers.

And recently, they even got a Firefox port working.
The time, and also the cost of ordering these parts. I know each is like a few cents, but you don't know all the parts you will need beforehand. So if I counted correctly he ordered at least 3 times.

It's fascinating nonetheless.

I'm not a physicist but it sounds to me like a gravitational bomb. I wonder how it will affect its surroundings? Stars being torn apart? I wouldn't like to watch such an experiment in person. Though if someone tried it a couple billions light years away from me, and then sent a video record, I'm all for it. I'd prefer to wait a couple billions years for the record to be downloaded, than to watch an online stream.

“Just on paper” can mean “doesn’t actually exist at all” - like the dollar amount a startup is “worth” right after a funding round - or it can mean “not easily and immediately accessible”.

Musk really does control billions of dollars in value of real companies, but even he found it difficult to get $40 billion in cash quickly.

Banks, on the other hand, can produce billions in cash pretty quickly - if they feel the collateral is good for it, even if they have to wait. They make money turning time into money and money into time, after all.

Same. I can't stand working in my home office at this stage. Somethings are easier when you don't have the distraction of a busy office, but many things are a lot easier / more efficient. On-boarding new staff is so much better in person.

Similarly, in the old days when I had jobs where I was expected to wear a shirt and dress reasonably smart to the office, I enjoyed getting changed into other clothes afterwards. It marked a real change between work and personal time. That gets very blurred with working from home.
>Using the normal return path vs. nonlocal returns is, I think, not equivalent unless you have a GC.

I will repeat, whether exceptions are implemented as "nonlocal returns" (like setjmp/longjmp with stack unwinding) or as syntax sugar with sum return types, is completely irrelevant; an implementation detail. The generated machine code is different, but the behavior, the user experience is exactly the same.

>Otherwise you need all that "exception safe code" stuff.

In both cases, you need to write "exception safe code". Example of unsafe code in Java (a language that implements exceptions as non-local returns):

void bar() throws Exception { ... }

void foo() throws Exception {
mutex.lock();
bar();
mutex.unlock();
}

Example of unsafe code in Swift (a language that transforms errors into sum return types):

func bar() throws { ... }

func foo() throws {
mutex.lock()
try bar()
mutex.unlock()
}

>But the main difference is it's not hidden by the language; you have to 'try' any method that can return an error. Straight-line control flow in an imperative language is a good thing IMO. …but too bad about those defer statements.

Whether the language makes you prefix throwing calls with "try" is completely orthogonal to how they're implemented (nonlocal return vs sum return type). It's just a matter of syntax.
WFH ruined me. I hate it.
> Eh, there is utility to this attack beyond terror

As there was in bombing civilian cities, which housed factory workers making war machines. You have put up another false dichotomy. Terror attacks do not need to be devoid of all non-terror utility to be considered terror attacks.

If, during America's war in Afghanistan, the Taliban had blown up pagers carried by American officers going about their lives in America it would be called terrorism. The nearby civilians injured in the blasts would be a key focus, not swept under the rug.

You might be stretching Dan Luu's essay a bit far. It's been a while since I read it, but my recollection of it was him saying the 95th percentile in an arbitrary hobby, say amateurs playing competitive esports (e.g. Overwatch), and that if you put even a small amount of time into deliberate practice, you would be better than 95th percentile player in Overwatch. I didn't get the sense Dan Luu was extrapolating to multi-billion dollar companies, what it would take to take the fight to them, and taking their market share.
Here we go again.

I hate systemd. I sincerely and strongly believe it to be the worst thing that happened to the world of Linux. Note: this is just my opinion, of course I'm obviously wrong, can I have it please?

Having said that I have to admit that the battle has been lost and there are no practically suitable server distributions clear from it, let alone desktop. So the only fight worth fighting is to delay destruction of other parts of the OS. In Ubuntu you can easily remove systemd-resolved, get rid of ssh socket activation, bring back cronjobs to crond and install a sane NTP client. Hopefully, we will still have sudo available for many more years at least as an optional package and then as a third-party deb. And thankfully we still have logs in /var/log and journald is not a hard requirement for anything. Yet.

Otherwise resistance is futile as systemd people excel at politics and seemingly no opinion or input has any influence their decision making process.

Again: I'm totally wrong here and systemd is good.
Ah, that magic word terrorist to justify any heinous crime. Funny how it always is folks in the Middle East who are.
I fear that too much privacy on the base layer (such as Zcash, Monero and now Litecoin with MWEB) will mean that these coins can no longer legally be exchanged on centralized exchanges (CEX). This will dampen adoption and usage and make the user pool so small that transaction analysis alone is enough to smoke out any users.

In other words: you need big usage to hide in a crowd. It doesn’t matter how shielded or hidden your transaction is. If you look like anybody else but you are the only person in the room, then you will be recognized.

(I loaded XMP profile and then changed clock to lower value before tightening clocks with memtest runs in between)
What people often don't realize that dimm quality allows you to get lower absolute time before data is available for system. So when you lower clocks, you don't need to wait that many cycles for the data.
In that case you might not get that much bandwidth that you would have originally, but you can get the same or similar latency
also changing order of dimms on board can somehow alter how low you can get (I have 4 dimms and swapping 2 on the same channel improved significantly clocks that I was able to achieve - no idea why)
