sushicalculus··on Justice Department: Resolution with Purdue Pharma and Sackler Family
If Corporations are people, and they commit felonies, maybe the US can assume control of the corp?

In an ideal future of course

sushicalculus··on PayPal to allow cryptocurrency buying, selling and shopping on its network
Will PayPal need to provide the IRS tax forms as if you had sold/exchanged commodities/currencies?
sushicalculus··on Why does Instagram continue to store and use all of my contacts?
This is a good reminder that I need to review my mobile's privacy settings
sushicalculus··on Why I Don't Take Notes
Hi Jacob. Paul Graham's comments are only accurate if you apply reflective practices and gain the learning. There might be some learnings, but they are inconsistent, weak and and easily lost. If you only have one conversation a day, then you'll probably think about it later that day. Taking notes allows you to reflect on it later, especially if you have a busy schedule. Jarvis talks about this, but you'll see reflection being promoted as a necessity in many learning theories

sushicalculus··on AWS and their billions in IPv4 addresses
I was wrong. I must have rememberd an early draft or the translation layer
sushicalculus··on Nokia selected by NASA to build cellular network on the moon
Need to bring back some of those brownbag lunch & learn events, starting with "SPICE up your clocks"! Except people might not be comfortable sitting in the same room these days
sushicalculus··on AWS and their billions in IPv4 addresses
EDIT: Looks like I was wrong when I thought IPv6 was backwards compatible

IPv6 is backwards compatible so why would we "finally roll off IPv4"? IPv6 has been "here" in production for over a decade, and has seen slow adoption. I suspect it may be another 8-10 years until IPv6 gets close to a majority, but wouldn't IPv4 still be in-use?

What would force a roll off of IPv4?

Either way, I too would like to know more about how IPv4 space has appreciated/depreciated in the past decade

sushicalculus··on Google kills the Nest Secure, its $500 home security system
Previously the Google apologists said that it was just the "free" service, but now even Google's premium products get the axe!
sushicalculus··on U.S. Accuses Google of Illegally Protecting Monopoly
The DOJ under Obama also looked into antitrust suit of a google seven years ago but decided not to act
sushicalculus··on Ask HN: What did you purchase that measurably improved your quality of life?
I read years ago that the starvation wasn’t necessarily distribution, but rather corruption that prevented the distribution. Is that incorrect?
sushicalculus··on Investors Extracted $400M from a Hospital Chain
This also reminds me of university costs. They're allowed to continuously increase prices non-stop, but then the politicians want to just cancel student debt. They probably should have just capped the prices instead
sushicalculus··on End of Life for Azure Notebooks
> We deeply value the Azure Notebooks community and all that was created over the past 4 years.

The headline and this sentence seem contradictory

sushicalculus··on Justice Department to File Antitrust Suit Against Google
> but I find the timing suspicious.

This has been in work for over a year. This is not suspicious to anyone that's seen the headlines

sushicalculus··on Justice Department to File Antitrust Suit Against Google
> 20% of that, 14,000 searches per second, seems a meaningful number of searches to scale to.

This is only part of the story. 20% to me is not really meaningful. More importantly, Google wields power to affect the 80%. 20% is a paltry alternative.

sushicalculus··on A Brief Introduction to the Basics of Game Theory
The page you provided links to Matthew's article (which is what I posted)
sushicalculus··on Independent Thinker's Manifesto
Sure, and sit ins are peaceful. But it should explicitly say "peaceful".
sushicalculus··on Ask HN: What did you purchase that measurably improved your quality of life?
Considering much food is thrown out and wasted, perhaps lower yields would make us find better ways to reduce waste.
sushicalculus··on How to waste your career, one comfortable year at a time
Those aspects are also too inward/selfish.

What About the company? Did you join for the mission, is the mission something you still support, is the mission something the leadership actually conveys or is it lip service, do you feel you’re in a position to be impactful for that mission.

Sometimes you might get a crappy job at a company with a cool mission (such as SpaceX) but it doesn’t mean you have to leave. Transfer internally!

sushicalculus··on Independent Thinker's Manifesto
I agree with it all, except the last point, and with it's inclusion this loses it's strength as it seems to indicate violence. Perhaps "peacefully resist" is an alternative everyone can agree with. Nobody wants violence
sushicalculus··on AWS forked my project and launched it as its own service
I think thatguyagain is making a good point about infinite regress. Should we all add a thank you to our github pages, thanking every dependency, library, framework, to Stroustrup, to Stallman, to Linus, and to John von Neumann?
sushicalculus··on Waypoint: Build, deploy, and release applications across any platform
Is Otto going away?
sushicalculus··on Waypoint: Build, deploy, and release applications across any platform
Yes, I know. I meant for some resources (the code for creating was added, but not for destroying those resources). I had to write a custom provider to temporarily fix it
sushicalculus··on Waypoint: Build, deploy, and release applications across any platform
In my experience with HashiCorp products, things don't work like the page says (Vault) while other's are sometimes half-finished (Terraform will let you create, but not destroy resources). Edit: To clarify, I ran into some cases where the creation code for a resource existed, but not the destroy code.

I might wait on this and read the Github issues for a few months before trying it

sushicalculus··on ReactOS
> In practice I don't see too many companies going full on litigious towards small players or end users

We should introduce you to Oracle. This is exactly what they do. They audit their own customers in a very hostile way.

Never underestimate a company in decline, as they grasp for ways to increase revenues and profits for shareholders (or founders)

sushicalculus··on Reverse Engineer Amazon's Whispersync
Could you post this script to somewhere? Gist, codepen, etc?

I want to see if can improve it. There might be a way to have the terminal auto-copy the clippings file

sushicalculus··on The persecution of the Uyghurs is a crime against humanity
To be frank, that spy scandal is not in the same genre of the other abuses that are being discussed by OP/GP and others.

And it looks like the treaty was renegotiated (Australia was shamed) so I’m not sure why you dug this example up

> In 2018, the parties signed a new agreement which gave 80% of the profits to East Timor and 20% to Australia.

sushicalculus··on Beg the Question
>> laissez-faire linguists

I have never heard that word before, but I guess I am one, except for when blockchain has tried a hostile takeover of “crypto”. I’ll fight for that one

I suspect another example of laissez-faire linguists might be the argument over (some) “non-inclusive words”. There were arguments here on HN want the words to move on in their meaning while others want to always connect words to their negative-origins (though some of these connections never actually existed).

I guess I sit in the middle. It depends on the phrase!

sushicalculus··on US Digital Currency
Needs to [2018] tag. Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17040768
sushicalculus··on iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro
I have an iPhone11. My phone says it connects to 5G already, so I’m actually confused by this launch. Why would iOS tell me I’m connected to 5G? I’ll be honest that I’m unfamiliar with this space
sushicalculus··on To Korea’s ICT Minister: Ensure the TBA amendments don’t harm the open internet
I was just wondering now that net neutrality has been killed in the US for a few years, has anyone compiled a list of the tangible negative effects?
