Cool find! I had not seen that before. But I still think the one I linked to is the canonical origin since it actually named it and described the method we ended up using (media queries) but this article definitely seems like an important precursor as well - and it strengthens my point of how important ALA was that this post was also posted to ALA.
The odds are deeply against your assertion- If we look at companies with $2b in funding, chances are yours would fall somewhere in the the median range, rather than at the top of the pack.
> how horrible the PR from suing is and how pointless it is suing the very rich Bloomberg corporation in an American jurisdiction for nebulous damages
Based on what? This past year, for instance, Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox News and certain individuals for defamation and claimed billions in damages
Ah yes, that followup all of 5 days later, repeating the same assertions. After which it has been... almost 4 years of silence. (Your WaPo link notes about Bloomberg's followup that "It is unclear what, if anything, resulted from those efforts." Gosh, you'd think they'd just go ask their many, many, oh so reliable sources, about all the damning evidence all of the subsequent investigations turned up by looking at the little Chinese doodads sitting on all those hacked motherboards, waiting to be forensically examined.)
There is a world in which Bloomberg reported on some of the most serious widespread compromises of scores of companies ultra-paranoid about security who are appalled to learn about the hack long before Bloomberg, triggering countless deep investigations, discoveries of devices & disassemblies, analyses, tracing the APTs back to their Beijing or Shanghai offices (and maybe hacking their office cameras etc), wholesale upheaval of the supply chain, bankruptcy of compromised firms, becoming a touchstone for the intelligence & infosec communities, a cautionary lesson about supplychain hacks & hardware which must never happen again, in which, like the Snowden leaks, the hits just keep on coming, Bloomberg avidly using its deep sources and secret access to report on it every step of the way for clicks, and the naysayers are silenced by public & private evidence and all the experts quietly stop doubting it or endorse it as they learn the truth and leave comments on Twitter & HN about it being legit etc.
There is another world in which the Bloomberg report was ginned up and was some sort of fabrication or Chinese-whispers or severe misinterpretation and nothing like the big hack happened, and so it appears and that's that, and they double down denying there's anything wrong with it while preferring to never talk about it again.
>> “The Big Hack” suffers from something of a time bind: If Bloomberg was on the mark with its claim that about 30 companies were affected by the hack, it stands to reason that further details of this wide-ranging intrusion would surface sooner or later. The Erik Wemple Blog asked Bloomberg if it is aware of any developments on that front. A Bloomberg spokesperson declined to comment.
I am fairly sure which world we live in.
> Riley was even promoted about a year later
Fair enough.
> and claimed billions in damages
Of which they have thus far earned $0, and changed no one's beliefs. Regular people continue to have no idea who Dominion is and think Fox was wrong, security experts continue to believe Dominion is insecure hackable junk, and QAnoners continue to believe that the reincarnated JFK hacked the voting machines to steal the election or something.
>Bitcoin: by limiting issuance to 21M we have made price manipulation of our currency impossible
At what point did people claim that "price manipulation of [bitcoin]" was "impossible"? I think you're mistaking "price manipulation" with "dilution" (eg. quantitative easing or debasing).
Dilution is still possible either by forking it (and having normal non-Austrians accept the new one) or by starting lending programs (since banks create money by lending it.)
> Jack Dorsey ... probably left Twitter to focus more on Block.
I don't think he was fired by the Twitter board, exactly. But given the increasing conflict of interest between being CEO of Twitter and his use of Twitter as a place to promote crypto (thereby increasing the value of whatever interest he personally or Square has in crypto), it's not hard to imagine that the Twitter board told him that it was time to end one activity or the other. Though it looked sudden from the outside, it's clear this was all carefully orchestrated.
Moreover, certain Twitter investors had (rightly) been complaining about the arrangement for a while.
Surely the board cares much more about the abysmal performance of Twitter's stock price compared to other big tech names than whether Dorsey tweets about bitcoin.
You can implement delimited continuations with regular call/cc and a mutable cell. Of course, like all abstractions based on raw call/cc, it's not modular: you can't do that and use the result inside, for example, a multitasking scheduler that itself uses raw call/cc as well.
I'd like to try this. Any suggestions where I can learn how to implement this technique?
