> are experts just able to detect what expensive wine tastes like, as opposed to what nice-tasting wine tastes like?

A real expert can do both. The problem is that "nice-tasting" means different things to different people, and "nice tasting" may or may not have any correlation or even overlap with "expensive". The most expensive wines I've ever had have tasted horrible, borderline undrinkable, because they have all been very old wines, which I personally don't like. But some people (apparently) like the taste of very old wines, which are rare, and expensive to produce because they (obviously) have to be stored for a very long time.

The main skill of a true wine expert is to be able to listen to someone else describe what they like and then pick a wine that matches that description or, even better, takes them just a little bit outside of their usual comfort zone.

Wines don't become expensive because they are good. They become expensive for the same reason any other commodity does; the demand, for whatever reason, exceeds the supply. There are really good wines that are cheap because they are mass-produced, and really bad wines that are expensive because they are rare, but have just enough people with more money than sense willing to buy them for whatever reason.
Having used Julia for 2+ years, I couldn't disagree more. Productionizing Julia code has been a total nightmare. The community library support has been growing but hasn't gone through the wringer. Just because things are improving doesn't provide a meaningful understanding against its competitors.

I don't see any reason to use Julia over Go for backend webservers. Rust or C++ for systems programming. And frankly, I prefer Python for scientific computing.

Julia also has a tiny standard library and lots of flaky external libs which make productionization of code a risky adventure which I have personally been bitten by.

Most people are allured by Julia's overhyped marketing which is a shame because the original paper by Stefan is pretty impressive. We're seeing some criticisms of Julia in this thread, rightfully so.

My advise to people who are subscribed to Julia's marketing is to listen to people that are complaining. No one wants to just complain, they're saying that because of many reasons. Be humble and try to listen, accept Julia's many shortcomings (error messages and stack traces, library support, startup time, IDE, debugging, etc.). Julia has many shortcomings that are only apparently after using it outside of the Jupyter Notebooks. Not accepting those makes you an annoying fanboy.
I thought it would be sufficiently explained in my message. Mailing lists don't fix that because there's no standardized protocl for creating, modifying and removing them. Moreover even if there was, if a user isn't part of the mailing list but wants to see some message someone needs to forward it. If a message was sent before you joined, too bad, you can't see it.

Everything is just a very clunky experience made with ducktape and handmade scripts for something that can't even do all we want. It's totally normal that people flocked to other solutions.
Yeah our DI's said the same, but then again half of what they said was BS, so I wouldn't take that at face value.

Due to my MOS, I would go fully on then fully off MREs regularly, so I got pretty familiar with the effects, especially since it was always done "cold turkey", with no transition period or A-rats.
This is such garbage it makes me wish HN had a down vote for links. It’s just idea/word soup with zero disregard for executing anything in real life. These things can stay on because of solar & off grid energy? As if we needed those to keep electricity running 24/7? The whole thing shows me how disconnected “AI/blockchain true believers” are from reality… hello we’re still working on basic planning, and you’re worried about “rogue AI running on blockchains?”
How can anyone work at Facebooks nowadays and have a clear conscience.

Is it just the salary? It is, isn't it? Just money. How depressing.
It's also possible they were competent but don't have the required staff to handle a large protest. Under normal circumstances, they might request help from other groups (DC police, national guard, whatever) but due to jurisdictional restrictions help can't come unless it's approved at high levels and no approvals were given.

In other words, they may have been set up to fail.

(There's still the issue of that video of protesters being let in, which would imply that capital police do have some explaining to do.)
>USDT market cap is lower than that of GBTC. So it's not possible that USDT is inflating 90% of the price of Bitcoin.

Technically it is possible. You don't need an equal or larger market cap to inflate something else 90%. You just need enough to dominate the trading volume.

As an extreme example, if bid/ask volume is exactly 1 (ie the ONLY trade volume consists of you and 1 other person trading a quantity of 1), then at the minimum, all you need is a bank roll of 1.9x the current unit price, with both you agreeing to the trade it for 1.9x, for the going price per unit to inflate 90%. And since market cap = price per unit × units outstanding, then the market cap also inflated 90%. If the units outstanding was 5000, and the unit price was $1, then the market cap increased $4,500 using only $1.90.

The first thing that happens is the ballot is separated from the envelope. This is to protect the secrecy of the voter's choice. What is supposed to happen is that the signature on the envelope is matched with one on file (usually with the DMV or equivalent), but this rule was relaxed in Georgia in March 2020. This is the only point in the process where a mailed in absentee ballot can be verified. After this point it becomes a "naked ballot" and is not tied to the voter's identity [0]

So to summarize: the only verification method was a name and a signature and the signature verification was rendered useless as a result of relaxed rule changes. Not that a signature verification is a reliable verification method, but this means the only verification mechanism in place other than a voter registration lookup was effectively removed. This means you could have voted absentee on someone else's behalf as long as a) you knew their name and that they were a registered voter, and b) could scribble on an envelope.

There’s photographs of one of the “peaceful” protestors in bdus and a helmet with zip ties, and there was multiple videos of the mob yelling to grab the politicians. It was relatively peaceful because congress was able to evacuate before they could be kidnapped and held hostage, with them safely away the pipe bombs wouldn’t have had much point.
I hope they have some kind of tracking software on it that pings the location when it's on.

Imo that's overstated. Sure, there's always some vendor-specific configuration needed, but that should be dwarfed by the vendor-neutral setup, after all you also need something to run tests locally.
Yes, Jews are native to the Middle East, specifically the area of Israel/Palestine. But why should that make Palestinians who lost their land feel any better? It's irrelevant.
Ok, so when I said “ERCOT is a non-profit” and you replied “they're registered as a charitable organization, not a non-profit” you really didn’t mean that it was not a non-profit and your point was that it’s a 501(c)(4) non-profit which is not the same thing as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. And a spoon is not the same thing as a fork. We agree on both counts.

Edit: or maybe you were referring to hospitals? In that case you may be right and I was using the term loosely when I said “most”. There are different kinds of hospitals. My later comments were about ERCOT, not hospitals.
What's way more important than being smart about security is consistently not being dumb about it.

Knowing about the most important dangers (OWASP Top 10) and avoiding them while picking up some best practices on the go yields much better results than being completely oblivious on the topic and then try to "pay back" half a decade of neglected security that has not been baked into the architecture by then.

In the end though, later is usually preferable to earlier. I know less companies being killed by absolute lack of security (heck, even Equifax is still around) than companies having failed to achieve product-market fit because they focused too much on something else than their core mission.

Opportunity cost is real.

Who said it has to be a grueling slog? I said do your best, not wear a crown of thorns.

I don't think it necessarily has to be hard, but people often make it harder than it needs to be because they're unwilling to make personal sacrifices.

I just don't think we should give people participation trophies. If you're not doing a good job and you know it, you should face reality and fix it, not be told "there's no right or wrong way".
It could be cool toy for cases like that, but you need to do a lot of work yourself to get it to behave like embedded system, build custom ui, etc, aka, toy for developers.

It’s very dangerous to be used for real production. It’s AmigaOS at the core, which means that it’s fairly complex (compared to other embedded systems) and at the same time, comes with literally 0 security (shared address space for everyone for a start, before you go anywhere deeper with what’s wrong with security). While it may not be a biggest concern for non internet connected devices, it makes it inherently unstable system (there are embedded systems without memory protection, but they’re much simpler).

Don’t get me wrong, I love playing with toys like that (was involved in a broader Amiga community for a long long time), but for modern times, it’s just a toy.

As others say, it doesn't enable FTL communication.

But if you have an entangled set X and Y, you can send your partner X while you keep Y. When you both look at X and Y, you will randomly get 0 or 1 while they get the opposite. While you can't control which you get, you can take advantage of the fact that only you and your partner know what these values are and it is guaranteed that nobody else knows what they are. You don't know how your partner has used this info until you get the conventional communication.

It's more complicated than that in reality but that's the principle of why it's useful.

For the ones who think that cpufetch uses lscpu (especially the one who wrote the title of this post), please see https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/milnza/cpufetch_simp...

About the peak performance, nezirus, the purpose is to have a quick look of how powerful a CPU is supposed to be. Peak performance does not measure the real performance of a CPU but it is a rough estimate of it. The peak performance is one of the distinguishing marks of cpufetch and is one of my favorite fields of cpufetch. Concerning the fight between Gold 6238 and EPYC 7702P, is not the other way around. If you are able to use the full power of the CPU, Gold is much more powerful. However, in a real program, this is not always true. For more information about the peak performance, see https://github.com/Dr-Noob/peakperf. There you will understand how peak performance is calculated and how it works.

The reason why I personally flagged this story is not because it is outrage porn – I think it obviously is, but that's not why I flagged it.

I flagged it because it misrepresented the very source you now linked. Quote:

> For the purposes of ruling on Defendants' motion to dismiss, the Court accepts as true the following allegations set forth in the amended complaint and attached exhibits.

This court decision did not side with the plaintiff, nor has the court spend a second thinking about whether his allegations are or could be true. A motion to dismiss simply says "Hey, even if we take everything at face value here, this case can't win".

The article misrepresents this as the court siding with the plaintiff. That did not happen. I can't know if that's an honest misunderstanding or deception; but in any case it shows that the author did not understand the court decision, as he evidently didn't take into account the premise I quoted above.

> A court in 2009 convicted Washington DC police officer Michael Sugg-Edwards of sexually assaulting a teenage woman in his squad car. After conducting its own internal investigation, the department quickly fired the then 35-year-old officer.

> But, six years later, Sugg-Edwards was back on the force. A provision in the police union’s contract allowed him to appeal against the decision to a union-selected arbitrator who reversed the department’s firing and reinstated him – with back pay.

> In San Antonio, an officer fired twice for challenging handcuffed suspects to fight him for their freedom was reinstated by an arbitrator both times. A second San Antonio officer who engaged in unauthorized car chases was also reinstated twice. In Columbus and Oklahoma, officers who kicked men in the head were rehired.

I'm as nostalgic as anyone about that era and greatly enjoyed the article, but the thing that really stood out to me was the mystery of why his mom doesn't just tell him, "you want to keep all this stuff that's taking up space in my house? Great, take it home with you and I won't throw it away!" This might make me a bad person, but in this case I'm totally OK with that designation.
That's not really my point, though. You're looking at 2010 prices. The discussion is about the future of the market. Since Apple controls the entire ecosystem of their products, including the price, if you want an iPhone you have to pay Apple's price. If you want an Android phone, you can hunt around for a really cheap one.

I get that the prices are very close right now. But since the can only be 1 or 2 models of iPhone out at any time and there can be thousands of Android phones, it is inevitable that Apple's iPhone will be more expensive than the cheaper Android models. Of course, the iPhone will probably be cheaper than high-end Android phones. It goes both ways. But since there is choice, Android will offer the cheaper option.
