Pre-IPO investors always get their money back first, this is a straightforward defense against founder fraud - effectively meaning that the valuation of the company has to go up before a sale, not down. If it goes down, the founders have lost their gamble and the round should not have happened. The legal machinery for this is - each Series of stock is a custom negotiated contract and can have any number of custom terms; shareholders and/or the existing board have to consent of course. If existing board doesn’t like the terms, then don’t do the deal. The exec comp here was for retention and can include their retention salary - i.e., the $1M can simply be $250k 4 year comp and nobody is allowed to leave.
The 'dangerous' promise of a techno-utopian future
MAGA thinks EVs after going to blows up in their garage and kill them. That's why Elon did the hail Mary. He guessed EV was going to tank, he did the public heal turn, Tesla will bomb but then he'll get some crazy govt deal for every company.

Here wants to be Boeing/Lockhead/GD, a nationally protected company with fat fat government contracts. Trump might throw him a bone. That's his reward for supporting 2025. The new deep state will happily create a new Howard Hughes.

It's a grift. The grift of the century.
> [..] a workflow they have been optimizing for decades.

it sounds the opposite of optimized to me. Unless we're optimizing for something other than developer experience and efficiency?
nice that's a pretty cool project!

different intent from my project, but glad you introduced it to me! thanks
this sounds like sore loser, and honestly, highly propagandized, talk to me. as far as i can tell, China is more democratic
If you get stuck there between ~10PM (the last train back to Hachioji that could connect to Shinjuku) and 11PM (or midnight if you can spare the change for the limited express), you can also consider going west to Yamanashi and Kofu. Let's just say that I was almost in this exact scenario from a long day in Kawaguchiko, but I ended up making it back to central Tokyo.
Please bring this to America. Especially in airports and even on airplanes people think this behavior is acceptable, it is not.
I did TMS a few months ago, and I'm not convinced it really did anything. It's a little frustrating, because no medication seems to work at all for me now.
I’m guessing there’s going to be cuts there, too - Musk spoke recently that drone warfare is the very clear future of war, and I’m guessing that the shift to that will involve cutting down on a lot of legacy programs.
Could be massive, if holds true. Metastasis is the killer.

>> In his working group, Professor Tsiavaliaris is conducting research into myosin motors. These motor proteins are mini-machines that drive many vital processes in our cells, including force and movement. They transport small 'packages' within the cell and interact with the cytoskeleton, a dynamic scaffold of filaments and tubes that extends from the cell nucleus to the cell membrane.

>> In addition, myosins reduce the activity of Rho GTPases and are therefore particularly interesting as anti-metastatic targets.

>> "My research team has discovered a synthetic agent called Adhibin that inhibits the motor function of myosins and thus inhibits the Rho proteins even more," says the biochemist. This suppresses the Rho-GTPase-mediated mechanisms of metastasis.

>> As a result, tumor cells can no longer migrate undisturbed and cannot attach themselves to other sites.
Test-time scaling new approach: extra test-time compute improves LLM reasoning
It wasn't just white, it was minority groups excluded too to make room for other minority groups. I believe a Native American that scored 100% on the entrance exam, with significant experience is one of the major plaintiffs.
Thanks ehilst! Let me know how you like it, and good luck with your Split G!
Cool. Looks like your tracks are lined up with streets, what's the precision problem?
Is Sima paid for his contributions?
I ultimately concluded the automation was too much work and I didn't want to figure it out. I bought the Sectigo cert (they will sell code signing certs to individuals) with the USB dongle and installed their crappy software (SafeNet Authentication Client), and I manually sign builds from GitHub Actions on my workstation with "signtool."
The End of Science's Peacetime
Make sure your company name is a common dictionary word :)
Very old US light switches often had both AC and DC current ratings, and the DC rating was noticeably lower due to the arcing problem, even with fast-acting snap action.

My grandfather worked in a Chicago office building that had 110V DC service even into the 1960s. He had to be careful to buy fans, radios, etc. that could run on DC.
Lingering colonial attitudes. America, for the longest time was the "exploited space" for Europe and much like India, carries this beaten in attitude that "this is not the nice place". You can find nice places like this but you have to go to the richest enclaves to find it. Japan is its own "nice place".
> you must present a compelling case to do so

Nope. You must give a reason statement but it doesn't need to be compelling.

> you must speak, read, and write Japanese to the level required by compulsory education

Technically true but misleading - yes it's permitted to leave school at 14 in Japan, but very few children do.

> must demonstrate that you can and will supporting yourself financially

Up to a point. It's more "must have a household income equivalent to a minimum-wage full-time job, or equivalent lump sum assets, and not be behind on your taxes".

> nominally must be married to a Japanese citizen

What? No.

> Japan does not allow dual citizenship. If you naturalize, you are required to show proof that you have surrendered any non-Japanese citizenship.

Right, which is exactly what makes "less than 9,000 foreigners" a very misleading figure. Naturalisation gains you little compared to living as a foreign permanent resident, and requires renouncing citizenship, so most people don't.
VSCode’s SSH agent is bananas
Well, it is kinda weird to take what would otherwise be perfectly legitimate and meaningful syntax and make it a comment. E.g. Pascal uses (* *) instead, and there's no other construct in the language where those can legitimately appear in this order.
> The maintainers of core subsystems are the people he trusts, at least trusts as much as you can in this space. He'll take their opinions before anyone else, since they know best about the subsystems they maintain

But there were no technical arguments against the Rust wrapper. And in any case, the Rust wrapper isn't in that subsystem, it just uses that subsystem. Hellwig's argument was nothing more than "there shouldn't be a second language in the kernel". He had nothing specific about the DMA wrapper. And Linus has already approved Rust in the Linux kernel, so what's the problem? Why can't Linus put his foot down on an issue that he has already decided on?
I haven't. It's a critique of the argument.

Ha you make an excellent point actually. I wasn't even thinking of that.
> In summary, I'm not against the existence of `Either/Result` in general, I think there are great use cases for them (like validation); what I'm against is the usage of them to signal all possible type of errors, in particular when IO is involved.

I agree that a checked error type is a bad way to represent IO errors that most programs won't want to handle (or will handle in a very basic "retry the whole thing at high level" way). I think a lot of functional IO runtimes are converging on a design where IO actions implicitly carry some possibility of error that you don't have to nest in a separate either/result type.
You clearly don't know much about the rest of the world.
Doesn't matter - hn is 100% certain Feynman was a virtuoso educator.
I've been saying this for years now: the rust4linux folks are putting so much effort into trying to upstream their work, seems like they should instead put that effort into maintaining a fork. Arguably it would be less hours spent porting than arguing with humans. Certainly more pleasant!

Then one of two things will happen:

* Rust will prove its worth and their fork will be the better operating system. Distros will start switching to it one by one due to its increased performance and stability, and they will have dethroned Linus and become gods of the new world.

* The project will die because the C programmers will outcompete it with good ol' C, and all their talk about safety doesn't pan out in the real world.

If I were the rust4linux leadership, I'd roll those dice.

Sounds like Hector Martin is doing exactly that, burning the bridge along the way. Good luck! I think it's the right move (minus the bridge burning).
That's kinda the point. That type of reasoning is vacuous.

There are millions of great arguments why antibiotics made the world a better place, I'm yet to hear one of YT.

For virtual geometry specifically, it makes use of 64-bit integers and atomics, which are not supported on WebGPU at the moment, only the native Vulkan/DirectX/Metal backends. So unfortunately I can't do a web demo yet.

Hopefully the WebGPU spec will add support for it eventually, I've given my feedback to the spec writers about this :)
Rejected traditional promotional deals with publishers, instead letting local stores choose which books to feature. Empowered local store staff to make decisions about their inventory.

Focused on creating an "intellectually satisfying" environment. Removed underperforming inventory during the pandemic.

Maintained full book prices rather than relying on discounts.
Oh man this make me nostalgic! My mothers sides family were from an area close/along the Chuo rapid line, west Tokyo probably exactly between Otsuki & Shinjuku.

Otsuki is actually not the most common final destination along Chuo Rapid Line, but Takao is. Takao is close to a popular hiking spot Takao mountain so there's definitely more stuff there compared to Otsuki.

Probably the WORST "getting stuck at Chuo Rapid Line" is Actually mistakenly taking Chuo Line that transfer to Ome Line that could sometime go all the way to Okutama. There's literally nothing there, and you're deep in the mountain. There's so little light pollution there, that my sisters friend that live there told me that at night you can actually see the light pollution from Tokyo inner city from the east, and locals call it 煩悩の光 (The light of lust/carnal desires).
I disagree with the implication that Swiss/European people are morally superior to those in other parts of the world and their choices are de-facto better than those being made elsewhere. Seems like a common, ignorant and bigoted stance.
off-topic but that reminds me of the “Twitch plays $someGame” phenomenon of about a decade or so ago. I remember some games being nearly impossible to play because the next control came through by chat and basically cancelled out the previous due to how messy that all was. No thanks!

> presumably there was a fairly rapid decline in health for him to make that decision after the primary.

That's a generous assumption that doesn't really fit with how he seemed in public appearances before and after. The alternative possibility is that the narrative where he drops out of the primary and so the D candidate "has to" be appointed at a time when it's "too late" for the public to be involved was a deliberate one.
And playing games (poorly) he paid others to boost for him. The guy is such a sham at everything.
Uber is still undercutting taxis in Boston, FWIW. I looked up a ride on Curb (a taxi app) and Uber today, and the prices were $17 and $12, respectively.
Exactly this. And most of that was before he became president again... now that it has been ruled nothing Trump does as an "official act" can be illegal. Realistically the only "legal hoop" left would be the possibility of Congress impeaching and removing him, which is extremely unlikely. And even if... it might not be illegal for him to order the military to take Congress... if it's an official act.
Yeah, I know they didn't, which is why I didn't use the word in my own quotes. My point was that seizing on "mysterious" is stupid. Scientists found something new to them and were fascinated. "Mysterious" might not be the most perfectly cromulent word for this situation, but it's close enough with regards to conveying their awe.

Discussing what was discovered is a far more interesting conversation that yet another rant about how some word in a headline feels like clickbait to someone. For a site that prides itself on fostering quality discussion, it surprises me that this sort of perspective is downvoted.

Regarding article, it really depends on the use case of whether to use ZIP Code (TM), postal code, Canada Post Forward Sortation Area, lat/lon, Census Bureau block and tract, etc.

As has been noted, the ZIP Code is often good enough for aggregating data together and can be a good first step if you don’t know where to start.
Don't bother :) There are other examples, but the US/HN audience is particularly fascinated with Japan in a "if you have to pick one" kind of way. Perhaps also because it's an old adversary.

It's much better than 0 outside benchmarking, so I've learned to just let these threads roll on.
I'm talking about deportations not entries, since that is what this article is about.
> Relations with China were pretty cosy till they did a 180 around the second Bush administration and started all that Wolf Warrior diplomacy, 9 dotted line stuff, Hongkong crackdowns.......

No, relations with China were warm right up through the end of the Obama administration and into Trump's first term. That's why the first approach China took to the Biden administration was to hope for straightforward normalization of relations.

China started issuing 10-year visas to Americans under Obama. The Wolf Warrior movies, after which the policy is named, started coming out in 2015.
Because Trump is publicly stating he wants to do it.

> When, a nix user or a gentoo user decides that she wants this version of library X with this version of library Y, that's not make's job to overide her decision, is it? We need some flexibility.

The user should absolutely be able to override it, but library X's build system should have some defaults and changing them should be a deliberate choice. "Build against whatever happens to currently be installed, and hope you get lucky and wind up with something that works" is not a great build experience.

I've often wondered if non native English programmers wanted code in their language.
I have not had any such problems living here for 7 years… elevators always have signs all over the station telling you exactly where to go to get to them, with standardized coloring and symbols, and text saying what it’s about in Japanese and English. They tell you even while you’re on the train which car the elevator will be in front of.

I would chalk up your experience to being generally overwhelmed and not used to it, mixed in with being illiterate in the local language (despite there being English and symbols to assist further).
I think this is the most solid answer I’ve seen so far that makes any sense. Could they still go through with it , I’m not sure, they want to project some influence but I still feel this is like haggling for half price to get cost.

Someone else here said something spot on for me, we’re all focusing on how bat sh*t this is because it’s global without even considering how human privacy obligations are just ignored.

Humans have a right to privacy, feels unbelievably pretentious and privileged to even say that. But it’s still true
The website looks simpler and nice. It appears to me a very niche area, I was wondering are you guys doing any product hunt campaigns to promote the product?
I see it, but only in my peripheral vision. Drives me nuts.
I think by individualism what people usually mean is the general "me, I got mine" attitude & the idealization of not giving a care to what other people think, i.e. "do your thing". I lot of what happens in the East Asian countries from peer pressure/accountability is to be actively defied in the West, and particularly in America. Keeping things clean because otherwise you might get judged by someone else is almost an incentive to litter.
Ah, sorry. I see it now.

Anecdotal results are highly dependent on the provider.

The scientific method is supposed to allow someone with no credibility to provide signal through >process< and then gain credibility.

Anecdotes from >a credible< person are very meaningful as they are often a high indicator of signal. A social heuristic outside of rigorous research.

Your results as an anon? Basically useless. On HN? Slightly better than on reddit or facebook. Provide your methodology? Better still, and now youre approaching a research proposal.

The meta discussion around anecdata being useful or not is silly.
Okay, I can see your point. I thought this was under the question "Why would anyone living in a democracy be against this?" but I see now it was a response to the other question that was response to that question.

It seems like that phrase "democracy" means different things to different people, depending on where they are from.
The situation in Rust seems to be a bit complicated. But I did find that panicking within a thread you spawn kills just that thread and not the whole program. And it seems that Tokio has the same behavior.

https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2002#issuecomment-6...

And web frameworks like Tower provide standard ways of handling panics and turning them into error responses.

https://docs.rs/tower-http/latest/tower_http/catch_panic/ind...

So I don’t think panics are necessarily meant to be program-killing in Rust, even if Result types are heavily recommended instead.
Opening Hook (1-2 minutes):

Start with a famous physics patent example, like Einstein's refrigerator patent or the laser patent. This immediately connects patents to physics and grabs attention.

Core Content (6-7 minutes):

Basic patent requirements (novel, non-obvious, useful) using physics examples. The difference between a discovery (E=mc²) and a patentable invention. Common pitfalls for scientific patents.

Interactive Component (2-3 minutes):

A "spot the patentable invention" exercise with physics scenarios. Quick pair-and-share where students identify potential patentable aspects of their own research areas.

You state that very confidently despite having no idea what you’re talking about.
I think you're discounting the very real damage that would be done by Linux a project controlled by Linus and a community being replaced by Linux a project controlled by Google/Samsung/Redhat/Microsoft. I'm afraid that this is what is going to happen with the Linus tree effectively rejecting rust drivers by subjecting anyone attempting to upstream rust code to persistent bullying, but I don't want it to happen.
> no one is really against some Rust in some parts of the kernel

Dude, this was literally caused by a stubborn maintainer, Hellwig, saying he wants NO second language in the kernel at all, and his explicit vow to do anything he can to stop it.
Find providers who don’t seem too eager to give you as many treatments as possible. I’m getting ketamine infusions for pain through a pain specialist but he also treats depressed patients.
