I think the more important aspect is that both of these were cases where someone knowingly promulgated false information fully aware that their story was not supported by the facts. Real journalists don’t tend to do that both because it’s unethical and because it can be financially ruinous.

The situation is different in cases where the truth isn’t clear or where supporting evidence turns out to be fake because in those cases a real journalistic organization will retract or update their story. Had either of them been willing to do so, they almost certainly wouldn’t have even been sued. The Sandy Hook settlement was so large because it was obvious that Jones simply wasn’t going to leave the victims alone.

A common pitfall I see developers stumble on is underestimating how often timezones, DST rules, etc change. In most of our daily lives this is something that happens very rarely, right? However, if you go look at the change logs for DST rules, timezones, etc, you'll see that as a ballpark figure there's at least one change a year, and on many years more. Once a year is way too often to not account for this data changing and the recommendations given in this article are solid.

Indeed. The response to breach of contract has no place in a contract. Breach of contract is explicitly an event outside the bounds of a contract. Defining penalties within the contract attempts to place those events and outcomes within the terms of the contract, and can grant the other party leverage to avoid legal remedies.

However, some terms can help encourage payment on schedule. Early payment discounts encourage inexperienced AP to pay early. Late payment penalties signal highly strategized AP as to when the cost of not paying will intersect with their retained time value of money. If the person paying the bills is directly related to an owner, then despite whatever is in the contract it's usually a matter of figuring out how to help them do their job.

This sounds like a case of AP putting off payment because someone knows about time value of money and doesn't view their relationship with the vendor as having value they can lose. Establish due diligence to collect first, then: A letter written by an attorney to their legal team is cheap and usually an effective nudge. Asking a court to compell payment consumes little time and is not expensive, despite their latency courts are impatient and want you to not burn hundreds of legal hours over this. Selling the invoice to collections is a thing, it's not so large a sum to make that hard. But most of all, hire a competent trained accountant who has zero relationship to anyone with equity, and listen to them.

Before the days of Google, I used "Ask Jeeves" which recommended search queries be submitted in the form of a question. Even after switching to Google decades ago, I have kept that approach. But despite so many saying that Google isn't as good as search as it once was, that isn't my experience. Curious, do you enter your searches as a question ?

Notes on Mezirow's Transformative Learning (2022)
Upon visiting the site: "ADBLOCKER DETECTED" overlay. Come on.

Also, from the screenshot it looks like it's falling into the trap of "last/current day not calculated yet, so it's zero", which is a) unlikely that it's zero, and b) supremely unhelpful for at-a-glance charts
There is something deeply disturbing to me about these "conversations".

Reminds me of a Philip K. Dick short story titled Progeny. In its universe children are raised exclusively by robots. Unlike humans, they never make mistakes or commit abuse. The child, once grown, ends up seeing his Father as an animal and the robots as his kindred. In the last pages, he chooses the sterile world of the robots instead of joining his Dad's work/explorations in the far reaches of the solar system.

Our current chatbots are still flawed, but they're still sterile in the sense that you can trash them and start anew at any moment. You're never forced to converse with someone who is uninteresting, or even annoying. Yet, these are the very things that grow people.
Each to their own I guess.

Personally I like the ruby-lsp and TPope’s Rails plugin in NeoVim.

I dislike heavy weight IDEs, I never find the juice is worth the squeeze.
I think this is a really good approach to handling events that someone might invite someone else to in real life. No one really ever talks about time zone or daylight savings time when you're texting your friend about a party that's happening. It's always obvious from context.

I've been working on an end-to-end encrypted event invitation service and I chose to ignore timezones completely and just have a date picker and free-form text field for time. If users want to export the event as an ical file I just set it as an all-day event and put the time in the body of the event. It's not perfect, but it's usable enough for most people.

The one exception here is importing to Google Calendar which for some awful reason imports all day events with no time zone as 24 hour long events from 12am to 12am UTC the following day.

(I have a silly beta version of the app up at https://pinvite.app if anyone cares to try it out)
>You can only do something nonstandard if all creditors agree.

As far as this NYT story goes, they all did agree. It's AJ's lawyer who intervened.
It's a 17 year old. Thinking back when I was 17 year old, I would've been very pissed as well if my parents took away my phone. And then especially if they went ahead and searched through it to find those messages. If they had friends I could see their teenage friends saying the exact same things as the AI did there.

Those screenshots and with the AI there, it does manage to make me not like the parents at all though. So AI maybe is quite convincing. If things go into that place where AI can do it, and parents blame the AI for it, when their kid is 17, it's almost like the AI was in the right there, that the parents were looking to just play victims. Blaming AI for being overly controlling and losing trust with their child.
Don't most spam calls/texts these days use fake caller/sender IDs anyway?

> It appears these companies have very poor anti abuse practices. When I contacted them for help they basically refused to reveal how my number was obtained

How would a service provider know how your customer obtained your number?

But you reporting that you're receiving unwanted calls/texts from one of their customers should of course still trigger some action on their side – if indeed that's the number that contacted you, per the above.

Why attack people you are talking to - unless you have little else to make your case? The value of selecting for athleticism has nothing to do with me; that topic is irrelevant. If you really can keep your head in a jet, maybe you can keep your head here. Regarding knowing what you're talking about - you have no idea about me at all. People might differ from you for other reasons than being fundementally flawed - the first is not at all a signal of the second; you are not the standard of reason.

> the empirical evidence that those who succeed in the pipeline tend to disproportionately have athletic backgrounds, often competitive ones.

Where could we find this evidence? That would be very interesting. I don't doubt they do select for athetic backgrounds but that's not empirical evidence that it's wise.

My individual experience in playing competitive sports (pretty well, very competitive, not professionally), gambling, and also frequent experience in very high stress (professionally and otherwise) and sometimes dangerous situations:

The first is no help with the latter other than blowing off steam. I wouldn't use the same word for real-life stress and the 'stress' in games, but for comparison sake: I'd say the 'stress' in sports is for children - highly simplistic situations of no consequence; like a movie; just enough 'stress' to supercharge engagement and make it interesting. The value, the conceit or trick of sports (or a good movie or song) is that you get to experience those exciting feelings without actually facing real life, you don't have to accomplish anything real but you get the endorphins and other drugs pumping. That's great, until you start believing it's real; it's a drug trip.

Real-life stress is entirely different. Sports 'stress' is not nearly enough to psychologically threaten or damage or traumatize you; not enough for real fear and injury; there are no life-changing consequences for you and others based on your decision and action - do all your employees lose their livelihoods because you make the wrong decision, or because you don't thread the needle, on your feet, on 10,000 political and business and social factors and communicate effectively to the big client? College admissions tests (i.e., something with real-life consequence) are a better measure IMHO, as an example off the top of my head.

I think that "supercharged engagement", those emotions, gets the better of people's judgement. Add to that the macho bias; the social trend of embracing physical violence and action, the big trend of favoring sports, and dismissing judgement, knowledge, and intellect (because the latter result in things that undermine powerful people); some groupthink ... that's where I suspect the bias (IMHO) to sports comes from.

Yes, it's not an apples to apples comparison. My point is the position it's at on the lmarena leaderboard is misplaced due to the hallucination issues.
What you describe there is UB. If you define this in the standard, you are defining a kind of runtime behavior that can never happen in a well formed program and the compiler does not have to make a program that encounters this behavior do anything in particular.
Says who? It was clearly going to work like that until more lawyer nitpicking intervened about the auction (not the sale itself).
For those who might be wondering what comes next - IANAL, but, this is what seems to usually happen:

Automattic has 72 hours to comply with the order. They probably will, plus or minus Matt being a whiny child about it. They have competent attorneys who are surely telling them to do so. They can also appeal the order, and they could even ask for the appeal to be granted on an emergency basis, but there's no promise that'd work, and usually it doesn't. The whole point of injunctions is that they stop things from changing until they're overturned by appeal or trial.

If they do comply, the status quo resumes until this goes to trial. There's no guarantee that WP Engine prevails at trial, but the fact that the injunction was granted means it's pretty likely they will, unless facts or law materially changes in the meantime. The statement Automattic released suggests to me that this is the path they'll take.

If they do not comply, things become... interesting. Of course, the case still eventually goes to trial. In the meantime, though, WP Engine can ask the court to force Automattic to comply. That probably looks like a motion to show cause why they have not complied, followed by further orders to comply and possible contempt findings. Contempt findings often come with monetary fines that escalate (e. g. $1,000 per day the first week, $2,000 per day the next, and so on). It can also come with jail time, though I am not sure how that works in cases where the entity being sued is a company.

It probably won't get to that, though. Refusing to comply with a preliminary injunction is an extremely bad idea, which is why almost nobody does it. Even states and government actors with strong political desires for things and a lot of power nearly always comply. While Matt Mullenweg is clearly not a rational actor, and clearly is willing to do extremely dumb things despite the advice of council, the other people who work for Automattic (and certainly its investors) are unlikely to be so willing to ignore the order of a federal court. If they do, their lives are going to get worse, not better, and possibly rapidly.

As of this writing, the Automattic WP Engine tracker site is still up.

(Hopefully some actual attorneys who read HN can correct anything I got wrong. I just haven't seen anyone write this out yet.)
That was 2023; more recently Microsoft is losing ground to Google (in 2024).
At the moment, you wouldn't. Because the game is in a very early stage, with many bugs and rough edges. It's probably around where OpenTTD was 10 years ago.

But if you like to help finding (or even fixing) bugs, then that alone should be reason enough to play OpenLoco right now :)

Sure, but the probability would be low-ish of that happening, and the other system could either switch frequencies or beamform a null in the direction of the interferer if they were also a phased array.

Maybe the EIRP shouldn't be unlimited, but I still think it would be beneficial to encourage spatially selective systems.
Thanks for correcting. I can be a (non-correcting) grammar nazi in Swedish , so I wholeheartedly accept your critique.

I'm not a native English speaker and I tend to make this mistake if I don't think twice.

It'd be nice to see a bit of perspective on the sorts of corporate big shots now at risk - vs. the article's blanket FUD, and subtle equating of "corporate" and "Fortune 500-ish".

I recall similar simplistic FUD after the 9/11 attacks. From reading the articles back then, you'd have assumed that the top brass of Pete's Porta-Potty & Septic Service had all fled their 2-story HQ building, for fear that a 747 was going to crash into it at any moment.

EDIT: Also never mentioned is that a whole lotta power-hungry, rabble-rousing, and less-than-saintly politicians will be taking their oaths of office in the next month or so. Might some of them have noticed the hot new trend of publicly hating certain sorts of corporations and executives? And be busy thinking about ways in which they could "surf the wave" - legally, using their official powers - and advance their political careers thereby?
A voice/wireless provider can abuse a lot of things and get away with it now. Even if it is an obvious problem, the FCC doesn't do anything about specific complaints unless you hire an attorney to file a formal complaint. All of the wireless providers that sell cheap wireless can terminate your account and say they don't know you and there's nothing you can do. Actual telecoms that have skin in the game (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc) can't do that due to there is usually a state/local regulator that can intervene.
If the USA does have "Years of lead" then the quantity and quality of firearms (e.g. military grade assault rifles) will make it far worse.

"Years of lead" in a political sense I mean. In a more general sense, you already are in "Years of lead".

Dropbox is a company with thousands of engineers. They should be able to focus on both aspects.

It seems Dropbox has an issue with execution. It already has a set of customers. They should be able upsell other things. They are trying with Dropbox Sign.

But other features like Paper and Photos don't seem to do well. Paper is deprecated, I think. Failing to expand to a doc-like saas is a very bad sign, when your customers use Dropbox to store documents.
