"Clusters of correlation" is another way of saying random clusters occur from mere statistics with no input from Monsanto, but you want to blame them anyway?

If cosmic rays cause some rate of cancer, then clusters will occur, and you can then blame anything for "clusters of correlation."

Or we can simply look at the hundreds of studies showing that Monsanto is not causing this, studies done fully aware of proper statistical methods, and realize what the science community has known for decades.
There are countless real life examples that support this.

For example, David Bowie (as a real person) was notoriously filled with anxiety and stage fright.

He went into 'Bowie'/'Ziggy' mode in order to perform and distance himself from his real life anxieties.

Honestly this is probably the most important advice anyone shy can ever use. I have 'work' ego & person. It is slightly different than who I am day to day. Similar enough to hold my values, but certainly different enough for me to feel much more confident in work related discussions.

It has to be a conscious (or at least self aware) 'switch' in order to really have an impact.

The totem point is really key. Wear a certain shirt or pants etc that you wouldnt wear in day to day casual life constantly when in work etc. It does make a real difference.

You put that on, after enough reinforcement, and you will automatically adjust 'X' mode when wearing it.

Even something as simple as cleaning. If you have a 'cleaning' outfit that you wear to do a proper deep clean of you living area, it will motivate you to push more when you put it on.

It's essentially the same effect as a uniform. We all know people wearing a uniform (especially police etc) do become more enthusiastic/passionate/egotistical when wearing them.
This is cool, but there's a bug when there's multiple possible correct solutions

Seems like the donations are pretty evenly split for the companies that would be the largest lobbies over the past several years. This seems like the case of the uniparty being apparent, where there's no real drive to simplify the tax code because it's something both can blame each other on when nothing is done. Of course, this was the entire point of the TEA Party (which later became manifested as MAGA), which was mainly a conservative movement, so it manifested inside the GOP, but the GOP RINOs in Congress did nothing.
Does anyone believe that this IPO has value, when ARM china has already been stolen and Apple has a perpetual technology license?
I've been really enjoying Elixir – I always liked the idea of Erlang, but became frustrated in practice, and Elixir feels like it has been designed around my frustrations.
it’s super clear you’ve struggled through a lot. i hope one day you get the help you need.
I go with a) every time. I would find anything else to be unprofessional.

I don't "effectively suck", I disagree with them on the timing. I'll explain my reasoning, and if they cannot accept that, then it's out of my hands; they have chosen to cut corners.

Not quite what you are asking but related: Many years ago my boss handed me the notes that he had made in a meeting with a customer and asked me to work out a project plan to create the hardware, drawings, software, etc.

I did that and gave it to him. The next day he called me into his office and told me that he and the customer had already agreed a delivery date and that I had to edit the plan so that it would be delivered on that date. That date was two months earlier than my estimate, 20% less elapsed time.

I tried to argue that we didn't have the necessary resources (software developers, hardware development, circuit board design and manufacturing, prototyping, etc.) to do it any faster but he insisted. So in the absence of any way to cut the time in a way that really made sense I just cut about 20% off each of the items on critical path of the Gantt chart and gave it back to him.

He seemed happy then but he was much less happy when we delivered on time and under budget according to my original estimate.
I wasn't aware of it. I think it's mentioned in the 2016 paper that popularised the term, and I saw the date and went to read it.

Yeah, I do mean those graphs, it seems to be the same phenomenon at least.
Seems more likely you just don't label the respectful people "SJWs" or some other pejorative.
> I have a hard time believing any generalization about such a large group of people.

It's the self-selected group of people who have chosen it. Much different than a random sampling.

Uber drivers have pretty clearly chosen being a contractor, and if you listen to them they say they like the freedom - require it even. You can usually moonlight as a contractor without permission from your primary job.

Other drivers, driving as full-time employees, have obviously made their decision in the other direction and seem happy.

It seems wrong to tell either that they must change.
They don't only ask you questions, but will also ask your friends or parents for a second opinion on what you're like or how you were as a child. This happens more often if you are a child, of course.
For a while GCL was the lisp that Maxima was built with. I think it's been SBCL for a while now.
If you do that, drop the ‘mov’. Before you know it you have a rudimentary programming language with a bunch of special variables, one for each register, and the ability to introduce other names for memory regions.

From there, an improvement could be to allow, say

R1 = R1 + R2 + R3

even when that requires two instructions.
Then where is the right place for that?
How much of that usage and market cap is actual usage and how much is financial speculation?
Armenia had a pro-west government, but it received no support, the UN SC did not even issue any resolutions, and western media practically buried the news of the war because it happened during the US elections. The people of NK see the russians as guarantors of their safety (rightly so). Meanwhile a NATO country (Turkey) provided major support to AZ, including mercenaries from syria.
I don't miss that aspect of it, mainly because everything had a price. If I wanted to learn a new language I had to buy a compiler and the books. Everything is much more accessible now.
You are right. I didn't look into sizeof.

So.. by the C standard, a byte is a size of char.
Since its inception, I have see streamlit as a jupyter-notebook killer. You have the good of jupyter notebook (lazy execution of python code, nice componnent for displaying information), but can keep code in a decent ide like vs code, and have versionning, linting, etc. But it may be in an alternate reality that didn't happend. An this demo shows even streamlit does not see my way ...
Thats my secret, I was a hermit before covid (not OP).
I agree. Plus, it seems like there are a lot of return guests.

By building a relationship over time it's more likely that the guest is more comfortable with "challenging questions" (Whatever that truly means).
Interesting; I learned about Toby Ord through a terrific interactive fiction (IF) game he wrote called All Things Devours [0], highly recommended (and very friendly to someone mostly unfamilair with IF as a genre, as I was).

At least provide examples that are valid. Your atom analogy is just false, it's nothing like the solar system.
Why put down a fair post with useless comments on a "hunch that he offers 5% or less"?
Hierarchical self-similarity does seem to be ubiquitous, and a lot of people have taken this idea and run with it. I think Hofstadter's GEB is one of the crucial modern texts that inspired a lot of people in that direction. Translating these concepts into rigorous theories is difficult; attempts like Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" haven't succeeded in creating a new discipline.

I think the deepest explanations for the layering of complex structures at multiple scales we see in the universe are being developed at the intersection of the theory of computation and quantum physics. There is a very tight coupling of entropy and information at the quantum scale, as demonstrated by physicists like the amazing W.H. Zurek. The development of quantum computers and work on the P/NP equivalency problem is where I hope to see the long-awaited breakthroughs that may enable us to understand just how math, mind, and physics are intertwined.
Obviously you neither know every area, nor have you thought about every type of problem. I haven't done that either. Or anyone else. The important thing is to love learning.

If you haven't thought at least a bit about a problem area, you don't know enough to realize that you don't understand it. That has happened to me many times.

I'm sorry if I was rough in the last comment.
When I was in high school, I could recite nearly 1,500 digits of pi from memory. This wasn't because I had number-memorizing superpowers, it was because I was a geek and I spent time memorizing numbers. If you look at interviews with top competitive mnemonists, you find very few who claim to have (let alone actually have) any sort of "photographic memory" or even autistic savantisms. It's just a mundane subject with strategies and tricks. People don't close their eyes and see numbers, they break them up into convenient chunks, look for symmetries and patterns, and memorize them.

You can't underestimate what people can accomplish when they have severe abnormalities in their interests. Calendar-counting to compute days of the week is not hard. Weather patterns are easily mentally compressible, with natural chunking points from the seasons. Most people's work schedules are highly regular, so it's easy to break weeks into patterns and exceptions. And so on. Everything that's demonstrated in this article is well within the realm of feasibility for a sufficiently dedicated person without superpowers.

Often the dice are loaded, you can find many stories on here on about some financial trickery whereby the options become low value or worthless as the founders and VC's cash out. I personally evaluate them at $0 because of this. It's a shame too because that sounds like my ideal work setup.
I can already feel the greed from the relatively small amount of money I have made in a recently short amount of time. I want more.

and I'm even planning to turn over all of my assets into a non profit in 3 years. But I can still feel the greed.
Yes agreed! Right now users can write a short description but we want to expand on this. Thanks for your feedback.
This has nothing to do with anarchy. This is a bill proposed by the government of the state of Nevada. Any "innovation zones" formed under this bill will not be sovereign states, they will still be subject to the laws of the state of Nevada and the US Federal government.
I agree with this. That being said, the author of the post seems to knock 'the right tool for the job', but I recently built two scrapers: one that scrapes an API (one time thing) and one that scrapes some websites (will probably be used once a month). The API one runs on PHP and auto-refreshes with a <meta> tag -- boring, but it works.

The one that scrapes websites I did with Node since some sites are multi-steps and the latency of a single scrape, plus the database latency could've turned this into a multi-week run with PHP
Hard AI is a result of a lot of soft AI approaches just like we are a result of many sub-processes.

The question should probably be: which OS are you using?

It's quite interesting... dig seems to resolve the domain just fine, but neither chrome, curl nor firefox seem to be able to open the page. (tested on Fedora/CentOS/Android)
Google's documentation is so confusing. I just wanted a simple tutorial which would tell how to get the name and email address of the person with the new API. That is all I need.

But the name Google+ Signin implies that this is related to Google Plus which I did not want. So I thought I have to use some other API for my simple needs, after wasting lot of time I realised I have to use Google+ login even for my simple needs. Couple of head banging sessions later, I realized this is just a vehicle to market their product.
It's all about trust.

If both parties trust one another, then it takes as long as it takes, and how to manage that is just an ordinary discussion. More people? Clear roadblock? Redefine requirements? Whatever.

Where there isn't trust, the salary position often gets abused.
I wonder if similar benefits can be had by practicing the method of "lean gains" aka "intermittent fasting", or whether this only works with 3 days of fasting, which is a long time to go without food. I'd certainly find it hard to be productive during that extended period.
Looks like this is the study:

Interesting conflict of interest (edit: potential conflict) with the researcher being the founder of a food supplement marketing company.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valter_Longo

Edit: I was wondering what the fasting + supplement connection was. Here we go:

"L-Nutra's first line of products stems from 15 years of research by Prof. Longo and his team at the USC Longevity Institute, one of the world's leading centers for research on aging and its translation into human interventions that optimize longevity and healthspan. It was largely motivated by the request of many patients who wanted to take advantage of the potential beneficial effects of fasting during cancer treatment but were unable to fast and forego any all meals or and snacks." (Emphasis mine)

Nothing which was initially developed inside a large corporation has a reasonable chance of becoming truly independent. The only example I can think of is Unix and C, and that’s only because AT&T was (for complicated reasons) legally restricted from selling it as a product, and the project was taken over by various other actors in both business and academia.

But C#, F#, Go, Swift, Dart, etc.? They are initially populated by developers from a specific company, and will, from the start, have that company’s culture and goals implicitly ingrained. No outside developer will be able to climb the ladder and gain any appreciable mindshare to significantly affect this; the direction is set from the start and cannot be altered as long as the original developers (or their successors from the same company) are mostly still there. To get back to my example, Unix only really started to thrive once it was taken over by the BSD developers.

(I have written about this before on here. First six years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8733705) and again about two years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18370067).)

This is somewhat off-topic but I'm going to ask here because it's really hard to find "trusted" information regarding BitCoin and Ethereum mining online - it seems everyone's trying to make a commission or running a scam:

Is it true that one cannot (or should not for their best interest) mine BitCoin/Eth without being part of a pool, unless one has a datacenter or warehouse full of GPUs dedicated to mining? If that's true, is there a legitimate, low-fee pool a fellow HNer can recommend? All the ones I have run into are either on Google's list of "malware domains" or are else blacklisted by my pfSense DNS blacklist because they're on the list of malicious DNS names used by crytojacker plugins and malware. I understand false positives and work around these blacklists all the time, but each of these sites feels scammier and sleazier than the next...

(Edit: It's minus 8 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I'm mainly curious to see if heating my home office with an RTX 2080 that's taking a break from ML while I'm busy with other things can generate enough heat while offsetting my electrical bill to be a more cost-effective alternative to the dirt-cheap but terribly inefficient natural gas furnace.)
I don't know well the system works but do they plug into the cruise control mechanism? How are they able to provide the automatic braking functionality?
In my eyes, the workaround is simple.

At the beginning of a session, tell everyone you're recording and give them a link to sign consent form and ask anyone who doesn't to leave the room. By staying, they implicitly agree.

There is also local jurisdiction laws around this too which make it impossible to cover all cases.

I'm not a lawyer of course, but it seems like a valid defense at least.
Moderation comments are certainly bad HN comments—they're off-topic, they're meta, they're repetitive as hell [1]. And you're right that they sometimes break the rules they're trying to enforce. They're also even more tedious to write than to read [2]. But, alas, they're necessary. You need an out-of-band feedback mechanism to nudge the system out of its failure modes.

I take your point about the GP being a joke, though—the edit makes that clear. The problem with one-liners that don't disambiguate intent [3] is that they pattern-match to the most common category they look like.

Exactly, you can only really exhaust the ports from the server address/port to your single host, which is effectively only DoSing your own access to the server. Ive seen over a million sockets in time_wait and it did not effect the servers.

However if doing something like behind a single software load balancer then the number of ports available will be limited to the 65k connections since the source address/port and target address(the lb) are fixed.
which is usually exactly what they do. Go to Boston Harbor in the summer.

Judging by the numbers, the Python community as a whole vastly prefers Git. Check the total # of projects at BitBucket vs # of Python projects on GitHub for example.

Edit: No idea why this is getting downvoted. I'm just saying look at the numbers — 77,000 Python projects on GitHub vs. 53,000 public projects on BitBucket. You can disagree with other Python devs using Git, but the numbers are there.
IANAL either, but...

While a company's logo may be under trademark or simply copyright protection, you still have a legal "Fair Use" right to use the logo for the purpose of identifying or describing the company.

Most often, this is what logos are used for on a site. For example, "As Seen On... TC, CNN, blah blah blah". They obviously cannot be used to mislead someone into thinking the company is tied to or endorses your site.

Here's an article about it: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/fair-use-logos-2152.html
You're pulling things out of context. The full quote, which answer most of your questions:

" A nameless person has decided that he, not us, is best placed to release the new Amon Tobin album, and to do so for free, online via a watermarked promotional copy. We know these things happen, and we know that not everyone realises how much is invested in ambitious, groundbreaking tours, collaborations with brilliant artists and lovingly designed packaging... It still hurts."

The point they're making is that it costs them a lot of money to produce an album, and someone deciding to leak it early sucks. An obvious point, but one that's probably written more out of frustration than out of a desire to communicate something people don't already know.

The translation that I took from it, is that they want to offer a full package on a given date. That package includes the option to digitally purchase the music, or buy a physical disc that includes things that they feel are important to some people. By having it leaked a month+ early, most people are just going to acquire it they only way they currently can -- by downloading it for free. Offering a digital download a month early is obviously not the ideal scenario for them (it means people who would have otherwise purchased a physical copy will now just purchase a digital version) but it's better than just losing all the sales that will otherwise result from people being 'finished' with the album before it's even released.
Hmm.. objective of any startup is to survive. This requires hard skills:

-> Being able to build the product / service.

-> Being able to sell.

-> Being able to market creatively (on a low budget).

-> Being able to take care of operations, legal, accounting, hiring.

Want to work for a start up in a non-technical role? No problem! Show em' that you can do do one or more of the other essentials better than the incumbents, who are probably too busy taking care of the technical bits anyway.
