Actually, I have a really good counter example but I'm unwilling to share it publicly, as I don't want to dox myself.

But the gist of it is that CF sales are really good at identifying users that are both locked into their offerings and big enough to be able to sign an expensive contract.

CF do have an excellent offering and workers, in particular, are amazing for many things.

Once the above conditions hit though, you will invariably get a call from the sales team. There is no free lunch.

Google's reputation with privacy advocates is absolutely horrible, but that shouldn't have anything to do with Apple's practices. Comparing Apple and Google will indeed tell you a lot of interesting things, but that's not what this is about.
It isn't, though; it's in all the meetings that happened beforehand and all the documents around them.

The biggest productivity boost I ever managed was using Whisper to convert meetings to text and then a big model to summarize what happened.

Then I can chat with the docs and meetings about who decided what, when, and why. It's a superpower that I could only implement because I'm in the C-suite and could tell everyone else to get bent if they didn't like it—and gave babysitters to the rest of the C-suite.

Having visibility and ownership for decisions is a huge deal when everyone has access to it.
The silicon ingots have a rotating production process that results in cylinders, not bricks.
I'm surprised they're shutting down rather than trying to push the web version. The law does not require ISPs to block the website or forbid anyone from using it; only US-based mobile app stores are affected.
At least on TV, while the first officer is "running their plates" a second k9 unit rolls up and the dog jumps around and pops the bad guy with his 50kg of contraband.

Or at least that was the way it was shown on this one episode of whatever show I saw it on.
I'd love to see your documentation on where it was ever claimed that 4chan was an experiment in anonymity creating a usable filter for quality?

Completely anonymous online polls are impossible, I'm thinking the goal is to have effectively non-publicly identifiable polling with the ability to disallow double voting. Seems absolutely trivial if Every Relevant Citizen was set up with their own API / digi-thumbprint.

If your mail is extremely low volume, you might like Migadu's low cost plans. They charge by number of messages in/out rather than per domain or something. It's been handy for me for a few lightly used domains including resurrecting one that the previous owner had let expire and then suddenly needed.

I've kind of been waiting for an excuse to make that move for my solo freelance business. It's probably not enough of a price difference to push me (+$24/year) but it really irks me to be forced into subsidizing this garbage.

I occasionally do office document stuff which Workspace had been nice for and I can't be bothered with Windows/Office so maybe time to revisit LibreOffice or maybe go full on Emacs.
> an actual Chinese person

None of the "actual" Chinese people I know were confused about the terminology. The average Chinese does not care one lick about anything related to communism or the history of communism in this country. Mao's book is largely a relic of their great (or even great) grand parents age.

However most of my Chinese friends were confused about why something that most Chinese find to be a relatively uninteresting app in mainland China is suddenly so popular in the US.

It's also worth pointing out that this isn't some serendipitous accident, 小红书 has been working to become a TikTok replacement for awhile now.
Open office plans are shown to improve corporate masculine energy though which is vital to our productivity or something.
Understanding that there's inherent bias by them being competitors of the other companies, but still this article seems to make some stretches. If you told me you had an 8% core defect rate reduced 100x, I'd assume you got to close to 99% enablement. The table at the end shows... Otherwise.

They also keep flipping between cores, SMs, dies, and maybe other block sizes. At the end of the day I'm not very impressed. They seemingly have marginally better yields despite all that effort.
The typical quality of kids bikes in the US is appalling. I wouldn't trust a bike made with hand brakes unless I could adjust and maintain them myself, which I can. But a lot of parents can't. And the weight is inexplicable, given how much smaller they are.
In an upcoming age of oligarchy, regulation will be adapted to suit business owners. As an example, it seems that Gautam Adani is friendly with Trump.

What will be the impact on the SEC? What are future scenarios of fraud enabled by weaker regulations?

But this is a regretable, but wise move. Love the fact that he linked a DJ set.

Godspeed, Hindenburg folks! I started to really appreciate your work, when I read Dan McCrum and the other Alphaville writers at the FT.
Normally yes. But they're using a whole wafer for a single chip! So it's actually a good idea.

I guess the issue is how do you design your routing fabric to work in the edge regions.

Actually I wonder how they are exposing this wafer. Normal chips are exposed in a rectangular batch called a reticle. The reticle mask has repeated patterns across it, and it is then exposed repeatedly across the wafer. So either they have to make a reticle mask the full size of the wafer, which sounds expensive, or they somehow have to precisely align reticle exposures so that the joined edges form valid circuits.
Yeah but my complaint is more general, I've seen companies or people shut down because of financial difficulties many times even when their product is popular, without actually asking for money first.
If all companies do that, who is going to buy their products?
Piracy may have made some of these accessible by ripping the US library of congress recordings for the blind.
Extremely anecdotal, but I've always found GitHub pages to be noticeably slower. Which is weird, because they use Fastly which is generally good.
All social media in mainland China requires linking a mainland mobile telephone number.

Mobile telephone numbers are regustered to real name via ID Card when registering, or Passport for foreigners. This must be done in person face to face.

For 'China social media' to not require this form of registration means it is the version of the platform specifically targetting non-mainlanders and that mainlanders are typically blocked from using by the Great Firewall (if no VPN)..

This then changes the question to: will China social media specifically intended to be used outside the maonland welcome an influx of TikTok users?

Yes. Its specific focus is projecting a narrative and voice outside the mainland (that's different to tge mainland). The problem is a lack of mods.
The right music at the right time can be transformative.
I understand the sentiment, and in the short term I agree with you (what can a foreign-controlled tik-tok going to do to us?). But think giving influence to our online behavior directly over to an adversarial foreign-power doesn't sound like a good idea. To me, it reminds me of WWII and the codebreakers in England who broke the German codes. They didn't use it to decode messages all time, because they didn't want to alert the Germans, only during significant events. Yeah, control over a major social media outlet could be a tool to use selectively during important events to influence the masses.
Not in a good idea in my opinion, but am no expert in this.
You don't trust Apple's and Google's mobile phones. And some bank doesn't trust open source android distros on mobile phones. Those are both fine positions. You are free to move to another bank, just like the bank is free to not accept you as a customer.
One interview question I like to give for software engineering candidates at my company is "rough out the model for an online library, where users can check out up to three books, they will be charged for overdue books" etc.

Recently I had a candidate who essentially had no idea what I was talking about. They had never checked out a book from a library.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I still was.
I used to pirate, went to Netflix because it was easy, and recently went back to pirating. Not because pirating became easier... but because Netflix became shit enough for pirating to be worth the bother.
> letting a radical terrorist movement control 2 million people, which can completely mold the education curriculum and free to draft anyone to their quasi-army

“Terrorist” groups Irgun, Haganah, Lehi all became part of Israeli government and army post 1948. Israel has mandatory military service for its citizens.
I bet the reviews are evaluated by AI too—AI writes, AI evaluates, what could go wrong? :)
Al Jazeera is far from unbiased. _Some_ of these so-called "Journalists" were terrorists and/or Hamas propagandists. That fact seems to escape the western press. All reporting I have seen puts the same level of credibility between Israeli and Hamas statements - one being from an elected democracy with rules based order and the other a literal genocidal terrorist organisation. I don't see the retractions given the same exposure as the claims when it turns out Hamas have lied. I don't see the atrocities Hamas commits get air time.

This is just my experience over the last 16 months. I thought it was absolutely crazy that within hours of Oct 7th I was seeing in the news how Israel should be blamed or are responsible. This weird rewriting of history in real time doesn't seem to have been let up since. It feels like I am taking crazy pills with the amount of vehement anti-Israeli diatribe that comes out of what I thought were sensible people or unbiased institutions.
What about future senators?
Additional wafer area would be a marginal increase in performance (+~20% core core best case) but increases the complexity of their design, and requires they figure out how to package/connect/house/etc. a non-standard shape. A wafer scale chip is already a huge tech risk, why spend more novelty budget on nonessential weirdness?

I am no Terry Tao, but I do have a degree in mathematics. Other than possibly in a class on numerical analysis, I don't remember anything resembling types.

We definitely spent more time discussing different kinds of infinity than we did discussing rounding error!

I can believe that the situation might be different in "applied mathematics" or definitely in "engineering mathematics" - but at least at Berkeley, the latter degree is in the College of Engineering, not under the Math Department at all.
Most complaints I hear about the DMV are just about long lines.
I also created something similar in PHP + Apache rewrites.

I already had a PHP website, and I wanted to add a simple blog system to it, but most suggestions were complex systems that required installation.

I created a .htaccess file and some PHP files to load and display markdown files from the /posts folder.

It doesn't require installation (just copy-paste the files and you have a blog), and no database (posts are simply the markdown files).

On the one hand it’s completely reasonable for a business to ask customers to pay for what they are getting.

On the other hand, this entire HN thread was kicked off by a blog post gushing about how awesome it is that Cloudflare offers truly unlimited bandwidth for free.

I’ve been around the industry long enough to understand that anything marketed as free and unlimited is in fact a loss leader. But I also am fine with pointing out this obvious contradiction between marketing and reality.

> With this interpretation, you could call a single murder a genocide, if done with the intent of destroying a people

I mean, if you killed someone who for whatever odd reason played a critical role in the maintenance of a culture, with the stated goal being the extinction of that culture, then yes that's an act of genocide. The fact that the event itself is a bit strange doesn't change what it is.

The systematized way that Canada's residential schools literally beat their native tongue out of the native children they were put in charge of was also an act of genocide. It isn't an error in the interpretation, it's what the word is.

> (in which case, isn’t even murder of an Israeli by Hamas or other organizations whose intent is to destroy a genocide?)

Yes, but they're not the ones aggressing. No one is saying Israel's neighbors are innocent, but Israel is currently, actively engaged in an ethnic cleansing. The fact that those they're cleansing wouldn't do the same back to them given the chance both doesn't make that okay and is irrelevant.

> Yes, it does. It is in fact this attempt to do less harm that prolongs the war and keeps Hamas alive. To actually destroy Hamas, you would have to kill a lot more civilians. So Israel often settles for destroying weapons caches, tunnels, and structures they operate from.

Well then they fucked up about 47,000 times by official numbers.
What's the implication?
That we as a society and/or government have a more just consciousness?

There are certainly are issues in China but are these "popular headline" talking points worse than the suffering we have here? And that's even after assuming they are factual.

We sell prison labor for pennies. We allow individuals to create epidemics and slap them on the wrist. We allow the future of our next generations to be squandered for today's profits. We allow our government to be just as captive to the desires of private parties in a way that's effectually reduced elections to a non-choice.

I don't think anyone with a conscious can say we're any better and that's without taking into account our worst contributions of genocides/wars/instability to the global community.

But in the end w/e, you have your freedom tinted glasses on (it must be nice) and the average american is screwed on our current trajectory.
The Parenthood Gap: Firms and Earnings Inequality After Kids
when you're trying to take relative measurements of the motion of objects within the field of view, which is how you do these fine position measurements, you don't have a lot of choices for objects with a measured location accuracy similar to the measurements you're taking. You're measuring the precise position of something compared to other things you don't know the precise position of. That requires a very stable platform so you can do comparisons internally. There are lots of options for precisely determining where you're pointing but pretty much all of them involve a loss of precision whenever the platform moves, so if you have to slew to a guidestar and back your accuracy is limited to the measurement of the guidestar and then the error induced when you slewed. You also end up using different instruments for alignment measurements vs. the actual observation (for example because the observation requires a long time at a static position), and there's an imprecision involved in comparing the different instruments because they slightly move relative to each other with thermal effects and so on. When you really get into it, using some instruments will reduce the precision of other instruments because they vibrate the platform or create heat. You have to account for all of this with a complex model.

In practice these highly precise measurements, at least in the domain I'm familiar with, become sensor fusion problems where you take a lot of sources of position info, weight them based on their accuracy, and integrate them over time. The less stable the platform, the more error is induced by the integrating over time. Nothing in that realm is really all-or-nothing, as we're seeing with Hubble as it racks up more and more failures, but the loss of the rotation will mean more error in combining position references which will mean less accurate final observations. They may no longer be that much more accurate than measurements obtained by other means.

I'm not sure if I explained that very coherently, it's a complex field that I used to write software in but, well, I was the person writing the software, not the person figuring out the theory. The general idea is that space-based instruments tend to have a bunch of different factors that go into their final accuracy and that accuracy normally gets worse over time as you run out of fuel and things degrade and ultimately stop functioning. Fortunately since space-based systems cost so much to build and launch, the teams behind them have usually put a lot of thought into how they'll continue to get the best use out of them as they get older. That often means having future plans for different missions that just don't require as much accuracy, which is the case with Gaia---it's ending this "phase" of the mission plan.

I’d wager a big part of how they make money is as SEC whistleblowers. It’s not as huge of money as shorting is - but it’s typically a single digit percentage of the recovered fines. Considering these guys nailed a company that defrauded people of $3 BILLION dollars, they’d net $30 mil from turning that company in even if the payout is only 1%.

The SEC has a policy of paying out part of recovered fines as bounties to whistleblowers to align incentives. If your company is doing something sketchy, you get a payout by doing the right thing.

I’m not a lawyer but I think that mechanism works just as well if you’re an external reporter of fraud. SEC makes money and pays you for your diligent forensic auditing.
Hindenburg Research and Muddy Waters are like heroes to me. It's one thing to have an opinion about corruption, another to maybe be a whistleblower or activist, but to take levered bets against corruption and win is next level.

Almost every time I see a dark pattern in tech I think there should be an opportunity to bet against it. Certain companies I can think of who appear to be faking their MAU numbers with "urgent notices" to login to obviously abandoned accounts, or who won't let you close an account even though there's no way to get the balance out to close it, both seem like opportunities. Still others, who appear to gamify their notifications to drive DAU numbers seem as bad as twitter's pre-musk bot problem.

part of the case for breaking up some of the platform companies is that they protect some shitty practices from the market by having a behemoth to bail out products that wouldn't survive on their own, and they create a huge barrier to market entry against desirable products.

the page seems to be hugged to death, but whatever the case, congratulations. they are, and should be an inspiration to others.
> As the Hamas leadership pointed out, this objective failed.

Israel's objective from day one has not been to expel Hamas from Gaza (that's virtually impossible), but to remove it from power. And if the rumors about the ceasefire are true (and if the ceasefire is going to be respected), that's what's going to happen.

well yeah, that's against the point of "anonymity" ... you are feeding the app all the data it needs to fence you in.

By this logic every government gives a uniquely IDable device to its citizenry for engaging polls.

Besides ... if it was "important enough" to break, getting around geofencing etc. is a trivial/already solved part of this.

Yet these males are in women's prisons, women's shelters, women's sports, in social spaces intended for lesbians, and more. They're attempting to redefine "woman" everywhere they can, so they can impose themselves everywhere that was supposed to be female-only. They're getting law and policy rewritten to enforce this.

That's not existing in peace is it, it's an unwelcome assertion of male dominance over women.
