It doesn't matter because the capital has grown and can be exfiltrated by then, periodically raising the stock price in the process as you "divest" the company of "unnecessary" parts.

The big money is made by shuffling financial instruments around, it does not care about longevity or continued existence of a company, and the more the stock is part of ones compensation the more they are going to feel pressured to serve the goals of stock price not the company.

And that goes double for the big investors holding the stock - whose Excel sheets are ultimately the boss of the board members, with the bones and offal for your auguries being analyst statements.

So let's say that by great effort you got great profit this quarter. Hopefully through increased revenues, but often by scuttling efforts or otherwise cutting expenses. You beat EPS ratio.

...The stock price falls, with analysts saying that the higher EPS shows not enough growth, and that you are not good prospect because you need more clients of a specific kind.

So the management will push for expanding that class of clients, maybe expansion elsewhere where normal calculus would say it's ill advised.

But they are compensated according to stock price and resulting ROI when investors sell off that stock or use it as collateral, not according to how well the company is doing.
It's not necessarily that complicated. My mom likes to complain that the person who designed her new stove never cooked in their life. I think the simpler explanation is that the person who designed that ramp arrangement didn't cycle very much and just wasn't empathetic to riders flying down the hill. In other words, they didn't care.

> TikTok has such a culture of authenticity and realness and Instagram is so phony and overly perfect

They're very different, and I understand what you're getting at comparing it to the hyper-manufactured perfectly glossy Instagram culture, but I wouldn't call TikTok 'authentic'.

Of course, Tiktok is large and there's many different subcultures there, but overall I think TikTok is heavily drenched in Irony. It's a stark difference to the very fake Instagram, but that doesn't make it authentic.

Are tiktok dances 'authentic'? They might have started as just innocent kids doing a fun little dance, but the moment anything turns into a trend I think it loses authenticity. The whole NPC live streaming trend[1] from a few years ago was anything but authentic. TikTok 'suffers' from the exact same paid 'influencers' promoting whatever garbage of the day, and even has its own version of affiliate marking spam with 'TikTok shop' junk.

What’s New?

SCANOSS introduces the Code Compare feature, a new tool that integrates directly into your workflow. This tool helps developers detect hidden or risky open source code, while they are coding. With a simple command, Code Compare opens a side-by-side visual comparison of your code and the matched code from open source repositories, allowing you to identify potential risks and make informed decisions. mark components as included/omitted/replaced with single keystrokes and access their previous decisions in future scans.

How It Works?

Launch the feature from your terminal with the scanoss-cc command or via the application menu. Using familiar vim-style shortcuts (j/k), you can easily navigate scan results and compare identified code side-by-side with potential matches, whether snippets or exact matches. Scan results are displayed in an organised file list, allowing quicker navigation and more efficient comparison. Code Compare allows you to record decisions made during the review process.

All decisions are stored locally in a settings file, which ensures they are preserved across future scans for seamless reference. This settings file enables the Code Compare feature to flag previously reviewed components in new scans, streamlining productivity and simplifying decision management for open source findings.

Why It Matters

DevSecOps teams need speed and precision, and the SCANOSS Code Compare feature is built with that in mind.

Speed and simplicity define the SCANOSS integration into your workflow, allowing you to launch the tool instantly from your terminal using the simple scanoss-cc command. Designed for rapid decision-making during development, it offers a significantly faster alternative to the SBOM Workbench for quick checks, streamlining your workflow with ease.

Seamless pre-commit integration ensures that the Code Compare feature works effortlessly with the SCANOSS pre-commit hooks, catching open-source components before they enter your codebase. Decisions are recorded locally, and the settings file can be committed to your repository. Future commits automatically respect these decisions, eliminating repeated findings on already-reviewed code and keeping a consistent review process.

Our developer-first approach keeps your work in your local development environment, removing the need to context-switch to external tools or workbenches. Make quick decisions without disrupting your coding flow and rely on the settings file (scanoss.json) embedded in your code, enabling team collaboration.

> America is so weird looking at it from the outside

America is also diverse. My New York CVS locks up toothpaste while the Duane Reade up the street leaves almost everything in the open. Meanwhile, my small-town Wyoming target leaves expensive electronics in the open because it’s a town where folks feel comfortable leaving their keys in their car (and rarely lock their doors).
Because an LLM _by definition_ cannot even do basic maths (well, except if you're OpenAI and cheat your way around it by detecting if the user asks a simple math question).

I'd expect an actually "general" intelligence Thing to be able to be as versatile in intellectual tasks as a human is - and LLMs are reasonably decent at repetition, but cannot infer something completely new from the data it has.
People in here literally argue that they should build a great Firewall because China has one too.

Not to the same extent apparently because of GMO.

One category of GMO is called “Roundup ready”

It means crops that can take Roundup and survive at high concentrations of glyphosate while natural crops have some limit of concentration. That means higher usage in the US.
Wow, your openness to explore this is truly commendable! When you dove in with that "if it's possible, that means that" YES! That's the kind of courageous willingness to explore, unburdened by "religiously held" biases blinkering inference, that humanity needs to advance.

Personally, I have no idea what the theory is, but it's an interesting question. I guess it might be beyond the reach of our current theoretical understandings to explain it. Which, from the point of view of advancing understanding of reality, makes it particularly interesting data - that you can obtain at no cost yourself.

I guess we wouldn't have to discard our consensus, but rather see present understanding from a more rigorously (and purely) "Scientific" point of view: as mere temporary models, beads in a evolving chain of understanding, to be discarded and adapted (not worshipped or imposed). That's true science. Maybe our coherent predictive theories represent a good description of "top layer" physical reality, but fail to describe a possible "substrate layer" where consciousness an information play integral roles. In a like way to how physical properties and descriptions change when moving media, from air to water, or space.

PEAR lab research "retrocausality" (fairly conclusively showing that future image stimulus could affect present biosigns). I think that's another effect of the underlying thing, but it's not the whole thing. How can you view the past? How can RV work when no "remote human" is involved?

- it's mostly used in soft-drinks or other foods that are ~~nothing~~ anything but natural

Prior to modern day Israel, there was 1200 years of war, conquest, slavery, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and apartheid - the caliphate, in the form of the Islamic Empire and then the Ottoman Empire.

Not saying that this justifies anything, but the bloodshed for the past 100 years needs to be put into context of 1200 years of systemic oppression.

And yes, 100 years. The modern middle east should be looked at from 1920/1924 when the caliphate, one of the worlds largest, most powerful, and most impactful empires, was finally defeated. 1948 was just one of the significant events since that time.
Great job guys! As someone who uses the pomodoro technique and already does some exercise breaks (push-ups, hanging, and stretching mainly), I think this is a great initiative!

Israel has been hindering a democratic process in Palestine since forever. It was a borderline explicit policy to bolster hamas to split the Palestinian rule in two to be able to say "we have no negotiating partner". Netanyahu has been quoted saying that outright.

Very few of the Fatah concessions ever led anywhere despite promises from Israel, leading many palestinians to think that Fatah was weak. Which other "strong" democratic options were there? PNI? Third Way? They were never serious options.

Now, the Fatah party has been incompetent and corrupt. I am not saying democracy would have sorted itself out in Palestine, but I am saying that if Israel would have wanted a democratic development in Palestine, it would not have dealt with Fatah in such bad faith.

Nor, I must add, would they have killed any palestinian (Gaza) leaders opening up to peace with Israel. Ahmed Yassin was killed just months after started proposing a long term truce on the condition of a Palestinian state in the west bank and gaza. his successor (al-Rantisi) suffered a similar fate after a similar proposal. Then Jabari in 2012. Then they killed Haniyeh who was the principal negotiator during all recent peace talks.

None of these men were innocent cute bunnies by any means, but Israel has been sending a clear message for many many years: negotiation will be done by force.
Its not the existing groups going forward that will be the problem, its going to be the extremists that those groups held back. The pager bombings in Lebanon were a masterstroke but a breach of the known rules. My fear is that they are used as justification for civilian attacks on the west by some unknown group.

No to mention the Syria and Iraq dimension, Syria's new leader has a history of being a hardline terrorist and the Iraqi's understandably aren't too happy about it after their dealings with Daesh in the past.

I guess its a win(for now), which is all you can really say when it comes to the Middle east.
> What do you do then? Protest peacefully?

Yes.

What has violence solved here? Thousands of people have died, and Palestinians are not treated better. I am no sure what peaceful protests would have done, but "nothing" is still way better than what we have now.
So we've shifted from:

Spark is "in-memory" in the sense that it isn't forced to spill results to disk between operations, which used to be a point of comparison to MapReduce specifically. Not ground-breaking nowadays but when I was doing this stuff 10+ years ago we didn't have all the open-source horizontally scalable SQL databases you get now - Oracle could do it and RedShift was new hotness.

I welcome this ceasefire with caution. Israel are still currently bombing Gazan homes and the death toll is still growing. There is always a risk it is temporary for further tactical gain.

A poll showed 60% of Israelis wanted a ceasefire but the 40% who want the war to continue are making a big noise. Violence was never going to take down a resistance group, we all knew this.

I don’t think there can be a future with Hamas in charge. Only a peace deal will will secure safety for both sides. But this negotiation between Hamas dismantling and a two-state solution is not the rhetoric coming out of Israel.

Only sanctions will gain a two-state solution and actual peace for Israel and Palestine.

Buying BTC is shorting money printing by your government.

Today the only government (that I know of) committed to not printing money is Argentina but they have other issues affecting their economy and therefore inflating their currency.

Given that governments don't seem to have desire stop money printing any time soon, buying BTC is sound.

There's a UX difference: when you look at your inbox from fresh you have to remember which ones you purposefully ignored because they were left unread in the inbox (this might be trivial for you if you're used to it).

I practice inbox zero also, the value for me is knowing that if it's in my inbox it's because it requires actioning, if it's not it's ignored (deleted or archived).

I also just generally like deleting things as much as possible, I don't like the cruft. If I have to search through old emails I don't have to filter by stars or anything like that, I like knowing that if it exists it's because it's important.

The Onyx Boox readers have a feature called BooxDrop which runs a web server on the device when you enable it that provides file management and upload. It simple, wireless, and works great.

The readers work perfectly fine without an account and the Poke 5 I have is a fair bit smaller than the last Kindle I had with the same size screen.

It runs Android and I also use Termux plus a bluetooth keyboard with it for a rather nice minimal writing experience.
I see your point but disagree in the conclusion. F1 and F9 are a clear lineage, same engines, scaled up somewhat. It's fairly clear that their experience with F1's failures directly contributed to F9's early successes.

FH is again part of that same lineage. So much of that was a known quantity already. I know that it took way longer to build because it turned out to be way harder than expected, but it was still so much closer than SpaceX's other vehicles.

Also, where F9 built on F1's failures, it also built on its own failures to land, and took a very iterative approach to re-use.

Starship hasn't had an operational flight, no, but neither has New Glenn, and yet NG jumped straight to a flight somewhat equivalent to Starship's flight test 4?

My gut feeling is that SpaceX are far ahead of Blue Origin, but it's hard to compare because of the radically different approaches.
Is this old news or are there two big celebrations recently about being allowed to build the "non-nuclear" bits of a nuclear plant?
