You're misreading. 538 says 97% chance of at least one prize. The EV calculation comes from the Federalist, which doesn't give an exact probability for a shared prize, but reduces the payout by 37% to account for it. This is based on another source, which also doesn't give a probability that I can see. (That probability might not be super helpful - you want the probabilities of one winner, two winners, three winners, etc. At some point it becomes rounding error, but I wouldn't be surprised if you want to go at least to three.)

But 538 guesses twice as many tickets sold as the Federalist does.
For a minute, I contemplated how the stubby carrots, with the small bulges, could have been CNC'd from the large carrot? The most difficult part surely would be the skin texture, and the core diameter being too large? Then I realized the author of the article probably also recently realized that fries were not in fact made from individual very thin rectangular potato tubers!

From Wikipedia: "A baby carrot is an immature carrot, grown in a small size, in which it is sold. A baby-cut carrot is a small piece cut from a larger carrot; baby-cut carrots are often marketed as "baby carrots", leading to potential confusion." [emphasis original] — There is a useful picture on that page, and boy, do they look yummy.

Do your research ahead of time on the company and people. Check out their social media, etc. Ask if this is a new position or are you replacing someone. If you're replacing someone, ask how long they were in the job. Ask about turnover.

Just to clarify, if you use Signal, there is no meta-data. Who you called, who called you, the call times, and so on are hidden. It's like with Tor and how your browsing history isn't saved. All the WIFI network operator can know is that you accessed Signal to make a call / text.

Despite all the noise Tesla makes about their "advanced manufacturing capabilities", their productivity is very low by auto company standards:

Tesla: 12,000 employees, about 50,000 cars/year, 0.24 man years per car.

Ford: 181,000 employees, 3,230,000 cars/year, 0.06 man years/car.

Tesla is heavily subsidized by government, sells an expensive car, makes very few models, and still loses about $4000 per car. Something is wrong there. Their head count is way too high.

> What is the main reason for not merging V8 and ChakraCore?

Pragmatically, that's very unlikely to be effective.

The two teams are culturally, physically, and temporally (time zone) distant, so Conway's Law tells us it would be very difficult for them to efficiently work on a single code artifact.

It's not impossible, but it requires a lot of coordination. With something as deep as a high performance language VM, it's really hard to scale development beyond a handful of people in one room. Unlike, say, an application framework or an app, there are few easy, loosely coupled things to hack on.

Mozilla gets by without one. Apple's approach for managing Swift, too.

> It's just a way of confirming that you own the rights to your contribution, and that you explicitly give Microsoft permission to use it.

If that's all they wanted to do, they could get by with something resembling the terms that Mozilla gets its committer's to sign. Usually these CLAs are specifically written to go a lot further than that, though. They usually take away a lot of the contributors' bargaining power. Microsoft's CLAs included.
If you're concerned about MS privacy, you should be absolutely outraged about Google, Facebook, etc. You also shouldn't consider Apple to be that different.

The Win10 privacy thing isn't much different from what Apple now does by default, and all of it can be turned off. While it does gather data, it does so in the course of supporting functions that most users want like Cortana and smart search. Apple is also full of phone home stuff that must be deliberately turned off if you don't want it.

The fact is that the market has clearly indicated (1) a preference for free stuff that is supported by 'ecosystems' and indirect monetization, and (2) a willingness to trade privacy for convenience and features. You can't blame companies for complying with what the market clearly wants as indicated by consumer buying behavior. If people cared about security and privacy more than features and UX, they would vote with their dollars.

If a pirate found themself in a situation where they thought their vote wouldn't change the outcome -- i.e. all other results would otherwise be equal -- they would vote to murder the proposer. In the situation you describe, every pirate would find themselves in that situation, and would thus vote for blood.
I second that recommendation.

The usual format is that they play a game each episode, and the winner and another player of their choice are guaranteed to go to the next round. The loser of the main game then plays a one-on-one game with another player of their choice, and the loser of that game is eliminated. This creates an interesting metagame surrounding the main games.

One thing that makes it work particularly well is that the participants all seem to be relatively pleasant people. There were alliances and sudden-but-inevitable betrayal, but no one was ever unpleasant about it. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing, or that they're all notionally "geniuses" (talented in some field) rather than random people or celebrities, but that atmosphere really made a good premise into an excellent show.
> Most of the privacy settings that people are most worried about is tied into Cortana or more specifically what you allow Cortana to do on your behalf

In all of these discussions on HN, the only ones bringing up "worries" about Cortana features have been people defending Windows 10 (and now Windows 8 and 7) data collection. It's easy to disable and, if you choose not to use it, it won't collect data anyways. The same can't be said of telemetry.

> Which tells them when you launch a Windows 10 "app" and some basic computer information

Actually it's not clear what else is being collected, because Microsoft won't disclose what's being collected. Is there evidence that only data about usage of Windows store apps is being collected?

> But even without that setting/ability the apps themselves could conduct the same reporting

Which would be needed to take into account when deciding on if that app should be used. Just to be clear, that means the application I choose to run might be collecting analytics, but my OS is also collecting analytics on the applications I'm choosing to run because it thinks it should.

> Nobody can actually point to exactly what specific information Microsoft is even taking

Yes, because Microsoft won't tell anyone what it's collecting!

> and have even less data yet still to back up any claims

As a baseline, you yourself talked about how we know they're collecting information about application usage. That right there is undesirable behavior for many that we have plenty of evidence for.

I don't want to come off too accusatory here but both your statement and the parents are damaging in my opinion. Depending on your issues you may be able to treat your own physical health and mental health but in both scenarios there may come a time when you require professional help. It may be different depending on where a person lives but for me there is no cost in visiting the doctor or getting mental health treatment. So in the example you gave of your arm it would make most sense to go to a doctor immediately rather than spend several months self treating when they may have a much more effective solution to the problem. Also, for mental health in the UK you general require a referral which can take several months so the longer you delay going to the doctor the longer you have to live with the issue. It doesn't apply in your case but it may in others. Not only may you get a solution immediately instead of spending months self-treating unsuccessfully but you may prevent the damage getting worse and in the case of mental health you can spiral downwards pretty quickly. I would say that if you recognise you have a mental health issue you should seek immediate professional help as if you let it get worse you can easily get to a point where you no longer have the right frame of mind to seek treatment even though it is even more necessary.

Surprised no-one's mentioned wikileaks and the document leak [1] that exposed Palantir tendering to attack Assange's org on behalf of some bank.

Combating this threat requires advanced subject matter
expertise in cybersecurity, insider threats, counter
cyber-fraud, targeting analysis, social media
exploitation

Palantir Technologies, HBGary Federal, and Berico
Technologies represent deep domain knowledge in each
of these areas

...

Feed the fuel between the feuding groups.

Disinformation. Create messages around actions to
sabotage or discredit the opposing organization.
Submit fake documents and then call out the error.

Create concern over the security of the
infrastructure. Create exposure stories. If the
process is believed to not be secure they are done.

Cyber attacks against the infrastructure to get data
on document submitters. This would kill the project.
Since the servers are now in Sweden and France putting
a team together to get access is more straightforward.

Media campaign to push the radical and reckless nature
of wikileaks activities. Sustained pressure. Does
nothing for the fanatics, but creates concern and doubt
amongst moderates.

Search for leaks. Use social media to profile and
identify risky behavior of employees.

This seems to show Palantir expertise extending beyond data filtering, and was a big enough deal at the time for Palantir to publicly apologise and iirc lose a member of staff.

> Skip the travel, spiritual enlightenment, and other ad-hoc treatment; cut to the chase - visit a psychiatrist.

A statement like this presumes all psychiatrists are equally good and roughly interchangeable. That hasn't been my experience at all. The variance is quite high and seems to be patient-dependent.

So better advice is, "visit a series of psychiatrists until you find one that works well for you".
