never heard of such a thing, and it doesn't look like a typical synth. Seems to me it almost looks like an early predecessor of FX processing units - has MIDI in, audio outs, and a few other bits. Even more now that I think about it

You're probably in the minority, or you make a significant amount of income. If you are single or married without a family, a 1099 contractor or just inputting in a W2 or two, and have a single form from your healthcare company, chance

I'm a complete layman when it comes to Quantum Computing, but I thought Shor's algorithm is effectively the most basic usecase example of Quantum Computers? I'm confused here.

Based off his accomplishments, Sam Altman is a good technologist, and probably a good steward of investment capital if one is to invest into one of his ventures. Based off his words and actions, Sam Altman is not a bastion of ethics or good

First off, I appreciate your comment. I rarely see such expressions of thanks on HN, so having one directed at a comment I made actually makes my day. Re: starting off from different conditions - it's the world we live in, and it&#x27

I don't think it implies incompetence, but rather, an ability to not know the world outside of the one that was made for the recipient of the nepotism. I grew up in a fabulously wealthy suburb of NYC, a town often dubbed the "hedg

I have! The only problem then is that some people leave reviews saying "my favorite drink is never in stock!". I'm working on upping my production capacity with the help of a professional bottling facility and private chef,

Wow. That's just maddening levels of stupidity. Yet Hertz tried to basically have all these cases dropped when they went through bankruptcy. Never change, corporate America.

How could Hertz even claim the customer didn't fill the gas tank when the vehicle in question has no gas tank ? How fucking stupid is their customer service team?

The only marketing I really do is occasionally do table days and I also hand out drinks every now and then to trainers, front desk staff, and management. I retained a marketing firm last week to help me grow my marketing as I improve my pro

I started a small beverage company focused on the athletic market in my local area. The main drawback to my product is that it's not shelf-life stable - it's only good for a few days (weeks if kept frozen). Some love my stuff and

This. And honestly, I feel satisfied after a single orange's worth of OJ from my juice press, which is about half a standard cup. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes less. But it's all I need, and it tastes absolutely delicious. I

His personal goal isn't money, sure, but he's the CEO of a publicly traded entity. That entity's goal is money, and as the CEO, from a legal POV the entity's needs and goals need to be put first and foremost. If he does

They guy could just double-down on scaling out Supercharger infrastructure and make an absolute killing. Instead, he's pinning the company's future on a technology that won't likely come to fruition any time soon.

True, but they certainly didn't encourage me. Too busy with their own activities.

Make the C-Suite and Board personally responsible, and make sure the fine is LARGE. $47 million for Verizon is nothing . They profited nearly $80 Billion last year. They spent roughly the same amount for the naming rights to an NBA team

Shareholders also don't care if the behavior continues so long as the profits from the behavior continue to vastly outweigh the cost of the activity in question. If the fine is $ABC, and that fine never changes, but profits grow from $

I was routinely picked last if not at all in sports all throughout my childhood. As a result, I picked up sports I could do on my own, such as lifting weights, biking, swimming, and running. Individual sports such as golf and tennis follow

from the POV of the incumbent, yes, competition is a bad thing when you are losing. The US government doesn't want a foreign country in control of the communication platform its youth are using. The Chinese government doesn't wan

I think Pearl Jam did something very similar to that IIRC with regards to ticketing and re-selling. It was a hit with their fans, but the problem is that only so many acts have the ability to do so (and as you say - it's actually not i

FL resident here. Really disappointed in DeSantis. Not that I'm even remotely shocked - he's an outright fascist and this sort of ruling and law is right out of 1984. Let's hope that the Supreme Court strikes down both laws

They did so for the Olympics by stopping a lot of polluters from operating. As soon as the games left town, the pollution came back.

That's...troubling. Legally speaking, don't they have to disclose stuff like that in public filings each quarter?

It sort of does. I think, however, Israel would love it if all the Palestinians just buggered off to Egypt or Lebanon or some other MENA country. Sadly, since they haven't, Israel has decided that killing them is the only logical proc
