This sounds like an entry in the garbage can of excuses your side will use once he fails to implement the improvements that his voters were promised. Biden only had 4 years and a very strong opposition, with Trump he has a more "efficient" government full of yes men, having all three branches of government, plus the popular vote, there is no excuse anymore.
Started reading the book again :). The $5k fares were the transatlantic ones. They made a lot of money doing day trips to Venice, Helsinki, Cairo, etc - places only Concorde could do in a day.

“Lord King’s edict that the aircraft had to be profitable within two-and-a-half years had been realised. There were times, in fact, when the seven aircraft in the fleet would contribute around 40 per cent of BA’s entire profits”.

Show HN: We Built payment faster and cheaper than via any crypto
Easy of course in the sense that that many aerospace engineers and aircraft have done it all over the world for many years. And most "government contractors" in the capitalist world are civilian private companies, many of which build both military and civilian aircraft and started small.

Which means, for example, that even this small private company knew pretty well what to look for in wind tunnel tests and other materials work. Their first transonic and supersonic flight was stable, did not destroy the aircraft, did not kill the engines, etc. Even, presumably, broke through the sound barrier the first time they tried - and was fully expected to.
The new desktop browser plugin is disgusting even after I went through settings. Won’t reiterate here, one of the worst UIs I’ve ever seen and if I were to choose today, I would not choose bitwarden only because how ugly and unusable it is.

There are easier ways to address equal opportunity requirements (really just immigration stuff)

More often you just want a way for extremely strong tactical inbound candidates to find you. Even if you're not desperate to fill the role, you want strong candidates to find you, reach out, and then work with them to find a role to fit the candidate.
Not quite so, ballot initiatives are actually the best bet. They've been successful in local politics primarily so far, but the initial results are promising (1).

You're right, that the closer you get to that core of federal power the more resistance you come up against, but once there's a powerful enough popular groundswell (that is I suppose, and if and not a when) you can move to mass protests, general strikes, guillotines, etc. This is why it's important to talk about, esp. around those who don't really know about it yet.

> I’m sure the court judge will look further that the funny dichotomy in their brand name

Oh sure, and the jury. One can do both - mock murderers and their ridiculous ideology and study it seriously to, perhaps, prevent others from taking the same path. One doesn't preclude the other, though.

To a certain degree I think these group enjoy being taken seriously, being in the news, fawned over, their writings analyzed by people going over their "deep" and "insightful" ideas. So that direction could be playing into their hands to a certain extent. For now, I'll go the "ridicule" path, I think.
Most companies are way too incompetent to even know how to secure their own data because it is just too expensive to actually hire someone that knows what they're doing - so most of the "cybersecurity" industry is just grifters talking about buzzwords and building dashboards to show how good they are at patching CVEs.

I have had to tell multiple cybersecurity vendors that brag about working with huge companies and governments that we cannot work with them because of how poor their own cybersecurity practices are (i.e. not using secure compute/hardware crypto when dealing with our private keys).

These are companies that should know better, I have had to stop ADP professional services more than once from disabling certificate validation on critical pipelines pertaining to confidential employee and customer information. I do not want to imagine what happens at 99% of companies with cybersecurity teams that don't even know what certificate validation is.
People are very aware that American tech companies want to control and exploit them as much as possible so there's really no difference to them between a Chinese app and an American app. Big tech trying to use its political power to force users into their platforms is an assault on our freedoms.

Would you pay $5k to fly basic economy?

Air travel is popular, but extremely price sensitive. Ryanair and its ilk have shown that people will suffer humiliation to save even $50 on ticket prices.

Supersonic will have to serve the rich, who are willing to pay to fly private. But how big is that market? Especially if you’re still going to raise prices 2-3x?
IANAL, but on which forum-type web sites does "delete my account" mean "delete all the comments and submissions I've made"? Even at tiny scale, the latter can be pretty damaging to old discussions.

Are there some limited number of old comments, where selective 's/too much information/XXXX DELETED XXXX/' would accomplish your purpose?
One of my friends almost got scammed by a fake job posting just yesterday. The job was for a real company with a real site and headquarters in the US, and the fake recruiter was impersonating the identity of a real recruiter on LinkedIn. They realized it was a scam when the "recruiter" told them that the job interview would be over Telegram. Often these fake jobs will string applicants along, then start asking them for money to pay for "onboarding fees".
And replace it with....

Email is a neutral protocol, in a natural monopoly, very hard to replace unless you want to choose a state sanctioned monopoly like you would to Facebook's Whatsapp or Apple's messenger.

This sounds like fatalistic throwing the baby with the bath water, I know that there's a fine line between operator's error and bad system design, but when a piece of technology has been stable for 40 years, and there is a fuck up, you can't reaally blame it on the tech.

If there's really sensitive info like informants or HIV patients, maybe implement some serious access controls so that not even operators have access to that sensitive info.

I know it's satisfying, but that's a risky way to think if you care about the truth.

Users flagged the submission and it also set off the flamewar detector, a,k.a. the overheated discussion detector.

In the past, human workers were displaced. The value of their labour for certain tasks became lower than what automation could achieve, but they could still find other things to do to earn a living. What people are worrying about here is what happens when the value of human labour drops to zero, full stop. If AI becomes better to us at everything, then we will do nothing, we will earn nothing, and we will have nothing that isn't gifted to us. We will have no bargaining power, so we just have to hope the rich and powerful will like us enough to share.
Definitely. The brilliant moments also get cherry picked for social media.
I disagree strongly with them.

Thankfully, in order to "ban" email, they would have to painstakingly eliminate large swaths of the internet. That kind of thing is only possible if you have strong central control of entire nations.
I'm always bearish on social networks that have to poach creators, it's a sign that there's no underlying culture or authenticity. A related case is Twitch which people have been relatively negative about, but it seems pretty telling to me that every time a creator leaves it's generally for a fat contract, and the moment that runs out they're immediately back.

I'd always bet on the platforms that have a natural draw and appeal even with worse payment, and TikTok is one such case. It seems kind of painful honestly how hard Meta or Youtube with shorts have tried to emulate it while it's pretty obvious they're out of touch in some way.

Facebook and even Zuckerberg himself personally with his cringy rebranding has increasingly that "How do you do fellow kids" energy to him

I don’t get it, we want anti trust laws right? Democrats as well I assumed? I actually thought they were more of a democrat thing tbh, but now that the republicans want them they are bad? I don’t get it anymore.
I've met some functional potheads and I legitimately cannot tell when they're high, even after they smoke a lot. Their tolerance is so unbelievably high that smoking does very little to them. They manage to function in life because they're typically not-really-that-high along with having careers that are just not cognitively difficult, at all. One does sort of data entry stuff, stuff they've done for years without much change in their work. They also do sort of simple wix website development stuff. I know another that just works the floors at Target.
I assume when people say "open source model" they mean "open weights model". The "open source" term doesn't really make sense here, since machine learning models are not compilations of source code. (Though DeepSeek has published several papers with details on their training process. It's more than just open weights.)
Do you feel the same way about open source software?
The GPLv2 defines "system libraries" as things "that [are] normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs". On Windows, this would for instance cover libraries for interacting with the kernel and hardware (ntdll.dll, hal.dll, etc.), since they are distributed with Windows, as well as the various C runtimes (msvc*.dll) since these are distributed with the compiler (Visual C++).

Now, I don't know the Switch SDK and its license, but it is highly likely that it contains things that are needed to build the executable but which are not normally distributed with the console. If that were the case, you wouldn't have to hack your Switch to run your own software on it. Granted, to my knowledge, specifically the "system library" clause has never been tested in court, so your guess is as good as mine. In the ScummVM case on the Wii, which is mentioned in the issue, the problem was that Nintendo actually has a clause which forbids usage of the SDK with GPL software. It is also pretty likely that this also exists for the Switch SDK.

EDIT: Please note that "source code" in the sense of the GPLv2 explicitly includes "the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable". This really is the critical part of the SDK here which Limited Run Games will not be able to provide.

Aside from source code, it also seems that the game distribution is missing the written offer for the source code as well as the GPL license text. This alone would be a violation of the license.
'Stamp out paper mills'
This is what GPL v2 says about system libraries:

> However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.

Seems like the Nintendo SDK would count here.

You just need to be constantly accelerating to hit very high speeds very quickly. You don’t need to pull 9Gs throughout.
Right glibc does, but with containers this isn't really an issue for getting it to work, just include the correct version of the deps. The issue is security at that point though as it's unsupported software now. The libraries going up do to. And again, these are expert friendly features at this point, I think. I don't know of any software to make old linux software work.
The problem is, it's not your account. Whenever you voluntarily give over something to someone else it stops being yours and you stop having the ability to control it, unless there was a specific agreement in place that allowed you to retain control and ownership. There are some sites that allow you to delete your account but I quite honestly don't believe it. They may say that it's deleted and maybe it's deleted and unrecoverable to you but I fully suspect that they still have it maybe he still have access to it it's definitely still available in their backups.

I don't even believe that as a matter of law this could be corrected. Because we have many laws on our books protecting our personal information that we have given over to companies in order to do business with them. Banking institutions collect personal information and there are stringent laws restricting what they can do with it, unless you agree that they can do more with it. Same thing with health care institutions very strong laws preventing the sharing of personal information from health care institutions, unless you agree that they are allowed to share it.

For both banks and health care institutions the problem is you must sign all kinds of agreements before they allow you to do business with them. So those protections enshrined into law mean absolutely nothing because the law does not say that these institutions must do business with you even if you don't agree to their privacy and sharing policies. Which I find rather strange just for two very core institutions to our society. The law protects us but when every bank and every health care place requires you to sign away those protections before they allow you to participate then what good were the protections to begin with?

So if we can't get this right for banking and healthcare what makes you think some little place on the interwebs where you can post quippy comments would be any better?
No, you're right.

My guess is that: the writing is bad because the reporters never learned to write well. As if they never evolved past the "Campus news" style of writing that's taught in your first year of J-school. The inverted pyramid concept's been dinging around in their head for so long that I think they forgot which angle to craft a story from. And there's no one there to teach them how to break out of that and they haven't stayed in one spot long enough to build a relationship with an editor who could help them.

Super impressive, but I agree with this, it was an easier project to plot on a spreadsheet and forecast a path to profitability.

Using current technology and looking back at the Concorde to make any predictions on supersonic passenger travel generates a spreadsheet with a lot of red on it.
Agree, Data Quality in-the-wild is a huge concern. I've led efforts to establish Lineage/Quality in large orgs and doing this after-the-fact is a massive undertaking. Having this "up-front" before all the data pipelines (origination, transformation, pre-processing) calcify saves a lot of headache down the road.

How Local-First Development Is Changing How We Make Software
In-depth series of interviews with Ink & Switch co-founder Adam Wiggins, researcher Brooklyn Zelenka, Netlify co-founder Matt Biilmann, and Vella.ai founder Yonatan Feleke on local-first development, which is now becoming much more of a "thing" thanks to ~8 years of research into CRDT and sync engines. Linear is an excellent example of local-first philosophy put into an actual commercial software product people use. There are still technical hurdles to figure out here, but in the future, maybe more devs will build and launch products this way. Thoughts?
> Second, a lot of HR people want to have a pool of people to contact when a position opens.

I wonder, is that even legal in California given the CCPA? If they're not actually actively hiring, what "business purpose" do they have for retaining that data?

I feel like anyone in California who gets a call back from HR thanks to this data mining should report the privacy violation.
Agreed. The tolerances inside a 5-way stick switch like that are so tight, just manually disassembling and reassembling a brand new one is likely to make it flakey. It would be much better to find the right replacement component and desolder the dead one and replace it. The challenge would likely be identifying the part and getting a single replacement part. If it happens to be something available from Digikey or Mouser that's great, but there's always a chance that it's a slightly tweaked version of a "standard" part or even something that was made only for LG. I found some parts from E-Switch and Alps on Mouser quickly that look visually similar, but I would need access to the original PCBA to evaluate dimensions etc...

For sure. But the further you go along, the _more_ of these tricks it uses and relies upon to improve performance. New vulnerabilities that are discovered are likely to take advantage of some feature on the spectrum of these “hacks”, from new to old. Because older “hacks” are well-known and studied, newly discovered vulnerabilities are more likely to target features in the newer end of that spectrum (AKA newer CPUs).
Why put a price to something available for free?
What guardrails are you talking about? Even ignoring the presidential immunity ruling that explicitly makes him Fuhrer, if Trump has ICE arrest all brown people tomorrow, what exactly is going to stop him? The courts? A judge can say whatever the hell they want from their bench, it won't stop an ICE agent from physically forcing you onto a C130 and taking you wherever.

Trump already "deported" legal american citizens his first term. Trump supporters openly insist on "deporting" a legal american citizen who dared to tell Trump that he's a meany.

The Constitution is just a piece of paper. None of the people in the Trump admin care about it or respect it. It will not save us. The guardrails are all gone.
That's not going to have an impact on the people who believe otherwise.

Some companies are just very selective, i.e: they're hiring the right people not the best candidate. Most of us get jobs because companies need to fill a role and we're the best candidate of a bad bunch... most of us (whether we have 22 years and a fancy title or not) would not get a job at a company that hires carefully because we're probably not a good fit for their very niche view of what a good hire is.

Yes point to point travel was a market for Starship. I think they’ve mostly backed off that though, as Starlink offers an easier market opportunity and just as much revenue potential.
