Systems of reward for sport which dangle huge paychecks should have constraints, unless you are away deep down in the no taxes no laws hole. They can't offer drugs and sex directly. Why is that? Why can't young sports stars be paid in blowjobs and nose candy? Oh.. free to choose.. sorry I stood on your toes. Live free or die.. i don't think it works except on car licence plates.

Lots of wealthy people are ringfenced from their capital. Trust structure is fundamental to US tax law, but maybe we should undo that?

Things like this are why I really think people should learn boolean expressions --- they are unambiguous:

(canning ||
processing ||
preserving ||
freezing ||
drying ||
marketing ||
storing ||
packing for shipment ||
distribution)
of
(Agricultural produce &&
Meat and fish products &&
Perishable foods)

(Curiously enough, the list of items is combined with AND and not OR --- so presumably, something which does not satisfy one of those conditions is not exempt?)

Incidentally, this also explains the content of the LSAT, as discussed previously at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15683658

Because you're not an hourly worker. Your job doesn't involve punching in a time clock, so there is no such thing as overtime.

The flip side of this is there's no such thing as undertime either. If you go home early one day, you still get paid for the full day.
I know nothing of this field, is there any idea of how long "information" stays in the brain or any metric like that once blood/oxygen flow to the brain has been inhibited?
Yes. I see now that "a fool and their money are easily parted" lives on. I don't know what to do about that.

Maybe a ten percent retain and the moral of the story is you are a former millionaire who now has a small stipend to remind you how stupid you are.
I think the issue is, we're all thinking they're stupid for not realizing the risk of their investments, but maybe they do! Or maybe they recognize half or a quarter of the risk. But they don't understand the alternatives. Nobody is on the "other" side saying "invest in mutual funds!"

They probably get "exciting business opportunities" and "help your friends and family" and "spend it all on hookers and blow!" and the "exciting business opportunity" might sound like the best way to keep their fortune going compared to the other options.
Houses cost property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Those have been known to force seniors out of their homes.
30 for 30 did an episode on this. It was so interesting and while true many get scammed out of their money, a lot more are spending it check to check.

Quotes from the show
"I had more mortgages than HUD"
"I had 30 to 40 cell phone contracts"
"No athlete wants to earn a few percentage points in bonds. They wanna go for the big dollars, Open restaurants, clubs and car washes! They conquered sports now they will own their next endeavor"

Worst stat from the show: 60% of athletes are broke within 5 years and 70% are divorced within 3 years.

Shocking stat: There is (was?) a website that tracks athletes as they go from town to town so women can go hook up with them.

Many of these quotes are from the big money makers in various sports (NBA, NFL, MLB). They also interview the ones that were able to maintain their money. Like Jamal Mashburn who told his mom that he was going to set her up with a new house and car and before he could finish she told him to save it and take care of himself first.
Nope. Graduated HS in '99, not a word about personal finance. Yes, time value of money calculations in some math classes, but nothing about actual personal finance. No civics, no home ec. Just math, science, humanities, etc. Granted, I went to a very tiny public school... but still.

In IPv6 it does know. This is because IPv6 addresses have scoped prefixes. So much of this discussion is hinged on old IPv4 assumptions.
"Dimensions" as frequently reported on popular press tend to relate to tensors (vectors in ... well ... more than three dimensions) and arrays used to represent them.

The dimensions aren't of 3-space + time, but of values that are used for the encoding and reading of data. And in this case, there are five sets of values tracked for the data encoding. Hence, a five-dimensional array.

Chalk your dissatisfaction with this up to the lack of clarity in the reporting, not in the actual nature of the technology here. Words with multiple meanings, used (by the reporter) with deliberate imprecision.
Precise timers are not needed, but they improve the data rate. For an efficient technique to bypass timer mitigation and a proof of concept see https://weblll.org/index.php/spectre-cascade-there-may-be-no...
I do not believe the world will hit peak child, unless there is a catastrophe.

Looking at overall birth rates might make it seem that way. But logically, in order to hit peak child, every subgroup will also have to hit peak child. Will every single country hit peak child? Will every religious group hit peak child? All it takes is one of those groups to keep expanding, and the world will not hit peak child. There are so many subgroups with drastically different birth rates and retention rates, I don't believe we will hit peak child. There will just be a transition period as the world starts to contain fewer Italians and more Mormons.

I split my time between Ruby, JavaScript (mostly with TypeScript) and Rust, with occasional Java and devops work. Of those, JavaScript (with TypeScript) is my predominant language at the moment, but the mix changes pretty often.

Skylight's stack is Rust and Ruby for the agent, Rails for the backend, Java for our data processing pipeline (essentially a custom data store) and Ember for virtually the entire front end. The graphs in Skylight are Ember components written in d3.

I still think that Rails is a great choice for most web apps, since (to this day) it provides an extremely productive baseline for building account management and working with third-party integrations, which turn out to be a surprising percentage of the total code (and an even higher percentage of backend code changes) in even an ambitious project like Skylight.

I also think it's reasonable to use something like Java or Rust for any heavy data-crunching your app might do, but I think people over-estimate which aspects of their application are truly performance and efficiency critical.
Thank you, and I appreciate the contact.

Perhaps I haven't made my complaint clear. The doctors exist, but they aren't helpful.

We don't expect miracle answers, and realize medicine may not know, but it would be nice to have a dedicated clinic to work with you through it, or at least a doctor willing to establish a long-term relationship. I expect it would also help researchers formulate new hypotheses if they kept in contact with couples who are 'unexplained'.

We have been to three recurrent loss clinics at UCSF, Stanford, and the Mayo Clinic. There are doctors there who do research in this area, but if you don't have any of the limited number of conditions that they know about, they aren't helpful, nor are they willing to help you find clinical trials that may apply or willing to explore research with you or stick with you. I've read many brochures and websites that claim that the doctors will work with you to determine the cause of miscarriage, stillbirth, etc, but in our experience they work with you until they give up, then they don't want to see you anymore.

This is a bit different than other specialties. I don't have much experience with doctors, but I do have some older family members with chronic illnesses, a few with rare, unexplainable ones. In that situation, it's common for doctors to establish long-term relationships with patients and suggest clinical trials or research opportunities they can participate in. The approach seems different than what we've seen.

Once we're done with our next round of appointments, perhaps I'll call NYU. We have a few more appointments coming up with some more research doctors; hopefully, they will be more willing to keep track of our case.
We started at 21, and we're 25 now? Any younger and we would have been teenage parents. Our friend couples are similar ages, so age is not a factor for us at least. At one point, a doctor suggested that my sperm could by a contributory factor as men's sperm doesn't fully mature until age 25. Honestly, doctors are better at helping older women, than younger ones.

One of the couples I know, the woman had her first miscarriage at 16. Believe it or not, young people can lose babies too....

But thanks for the useless suggestion!
I would assume that they use a combination of location and browser fingerprinting and a whole lot of other techniques.
Simply using one technique would not be reliable.
I’m saying that few people write as their sole occupation (novelists, maybe journalists etc). Others use it as part of their professional work, but it is not their sole professional work.

Similarly I’m suggesting software engineering will be part of many people’s professional work, but will be the sole professional work of few.
There are certainly specific religious groups that have much higher fertility, even when controlling for everything else. For example: https://medium.com/migration-issues/how-long-until-were-all-...
There is a huge lack of data, and huge unwillingness to keep track of it. My wife and I are both math majors, and our immediate reaction to any of this stuff is to keep data. We would love to submit our experiences (which we've kept detailed records of) to some kind of database so that researchers can formulate hypotheses, but no one wants it.
This project was fairly close to that idea:

I think it’s abandoned though.
Speaking personally, I live in NYC because I wanted to experience that, not because I don’t like home. I’m not a big fan of the kind of transplant who does nothing but trash where they’re from. There’s something distasteful and uncouth about it.
But, UBI does something more by taking money from those who need it and giving it to those who don't. Every dollar going to an upper middle class tech worker is a dollar not going towards uplifting the lowest of our society.

The tech worker will be paying a lot more in taxes than the amount of their UBI check. It's mathematically equivalent to them not getting UBI at all and having a somewhat lower tax rate.

There's another thing going on in parallel, namely, physical separation of elites from the rest. You may not agree with Charles Murray's political worldview, but the first part of Coming Apart has a nice analysis of how elites in the US aggregate in specific neighborhoods.

But the problem is much wider IMO. Consider Russia. I read that 7% of its population is living abroad. In other words, the most agile and the most able are not in the country anymore. I imagine that Putin considers this to be a good thing: All possible dissenters just pack up and leave. What's not to like?

Which itself raises several questions:

1. Should most people have access to a domain they control?

2. Should there be a standard for nonroutable / nonpublic domains? (.lan and .localdomain are two of which I'm generally aware)

3. How should browsers deal with hosts and/or domains which are not and can not be on the public Internet?

4. How the hell did we get into this mess?

I'm kicking around the notion of relaxing various aspects of the problem domain and seeing where we end up. It's mind-numbingly bad, though.
Or I could just accept my mortality and let my corpse go to some productive use, like organ donation or teaching medical students, rather than investing in some narcissistic notion of being resurrected.
That seems ambiguous to me. Is the mother Ayn Rand or not?

The presence of the Oxford comma, or lack thereof doesn't seem to affect the ambiguity.
I don’t disagree with you.

I don’t lack job offers but they are all freelance and require me to live in an expensive city. I hesitate to depend on freelance work unless I can make what I used to make, maybe 5 years ago. The job offers went up over the years but the rate went down and now full-time positions are exceedingly rare.

I still get some remote work but I am having to reskill for jobs that have very high demand before moving to a city. But I think that saying capitalism makes sure I am rewarded for wanting to make things is misleading.

I understand the "omg sha1" frenzy, but 1) you still need an incredible amount of compute power to generate a collision (you read your linked article, right?) and 2) even if you make something that collides, it still has to compile into the project.

Perhaps nation states can do this today. If that's your concern then, well, you've already lost because they've likely found other ways to compromise you with much less effort. For everyone else, sha1 for commits is still not _that_ bad.

>The fact that it is using HTTP, and therefore can be trivially MITMed by anyone controlling any point traversed between you and the client.

Can you please link to any evidence showing the millions of HTTP sites that were MITMed? I mean after all its so trivial as you claim. OTOH, why would anyone care to do that when they've found it much easier to trivially inject scripts and other potentially harmful stuff via compromised ads, third party hosted JS scripts, compromised CDNs, etc, etc. The current proposal fails to address any of those real, actual, tangible 'bad' things that are actually occuring with alarming frequency.

>Communication between the browser and your server is insecure.

That applies to every single piece of data transfered that is not under the control of the domain being visited.

Simply asserting it doesn't make it so. I reject your interpretation. The most dominant browser vendor showing scrary yellow triangles with exclamation marks, instead of showing your webpage is exactly like disabling it.
Yes, and financial literacy isn’t going to help.
because math

All it takes is one tiny subpopulation with more than 2 kids per woman, and you get exponential growth. Exponential growth conquers all. If you have a computer science background, think back to big-O notation. Having 4 kids per woman (thus 2 per person) is a growth rate that doubles the population every generation.

So, do the Amish exist? Yes they do. That alone ensures that growth will not stop. Even if everybody else decided to not reproduce, we'd be well above the current world population after a few centuries.

This isn't popular with the "everyone can learn to code" crowd but one significant barrier to becoming a proficient programmer is intelligence.

Maybe intelligence isn't the right word (after all how smart is it really to sit in front of a computer all day shuffling bits around?), a certain way of thinking or aptitude might be better. Education doesn't overcome this, training only partially overcomes this, experience doesn't necessarily overcome this. I bet most of us in the field have come across individuals with high levels of training, perhaps even very "intelligent" individuals who simply fail to fit concepts together in a useful way. Who get the pieces, who can answer quiz questions, who know facts and trivia, but simply cannot bring it all together into a useful, coherent, maintainable whole in a reasonable time frame. And I don't see this barrier being broken.

Anything that can be taught by rote memorization can be automated. Anything that requires higher levels of abstract thinking may never be automated.
They need more financial games. I remember playing Railroad Tycoon as a kid and realizing I could run a pump and dump scheme against the AI. At the time of course I didn't know there was a phrase for pump and dump, or that it was a well known financial play, but that game put me on good footing to both get a very rough understanding of the stock and debt markets. My own nefarious behavior probably also gave me a more cynical outlook on financial transactions.
I would bet a strong percentage isn’t “gaming” but mining, which is going to prove more volatile for their revenue stream over time.
maybe the game itself but the name is derived from Japanese, fairly recently

> "To my mother, Ayn Rand and my daughter"

- Ayn Rand can't be in apposition of my mother as there's no comma setting Ayn Rand off from my daughter

- Similarly, Ayn Rand and my daughter are not in apposition

- my daughter and my mother are mutually exclusive

This is described in more detail here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma#Ambiguity

> "To my mother, Ayn Rand, and my daughter"

Adding the Oxford comma creates ambiguity between my mother and Ayn Rand, unless the speaker is Ayn Rand's daughter.
> All it takes is one tiny subpopulation with more than 2 kids per woman, and you get exponential growth.

There's an essential factor missing from this assumption: sustained birthrate above replacement.

I realise you probably intended to mean that, but it's an important distinction because there are at least a few other important factors at play.
If you are dealing with large text files of JSON or XML of 1MB or larger you can turn the buffer into Fundamental mode and turn off line numbers.

I’ve found that the reason why large files are slow is due to formatting and linting and not the size of bytes on disk.

With fundamental mode and no line numbers it feels as fast as Vim or Sublime to me.

Whether or not it's ambiguous doesn't matter much to me. It's confusing. That sentence is bad writing, Oxford comment or no. The goal of language is to understand others and be understood yourself. This kind of formal analysis doesn't help with that goal.

I think we would benefit from a simplified, formalized version of English for things like documentation and legalese. Does something like that already exist?
It only says the mother is Ayn Rand if the comma after mother is taken as making an appositive phrase. There is no later comma to end the appositive phrase, so we'd have to take "Ayn Rand and my daughter" and so it would be saying that his mother is both Ayn Rand and his daughter.

That's not possible so we can rule out the comma making an appositive phrase, and see that it must be a list comma, and we've got no ambiguity.

Putting in the Oxford comma makes it so we could interpret "My mother, Ayn Rand," as an appositive phrase, and we have ambiguity.
Long lines are slow, but it handles well otherwise. For long lines, I disabled bidi-display-reordering and switched to fundamental-mode and it really helps.

It occurred to be that with 2 factor authentication, the server needs to hold on the the secret key. If that is leaked, the 2 factor is useless.[1]

Contrast this with salted hashing where leaking the hash doesn't directly lead to compromise.

Could you use a blind signature to construct a rotating code 2 factor scheme where leaking the server credential doesn't lead to complete compromise?
