I think you're getting side-tracked into credit risk which is not what the paper is about at all. But your example is useful to understand why credit risk is not as simple as that.

For a start, considered in the context of formal loans, lending money to a friend in that situation is far from a risk-free bet - because my friend might have got it wrong and left his wallet at home, not in his car in which case in 5 minutes time he'll default on payment. Of course I'll almost certainly get my money back eventually (since otherwise I'd either have just said I'd give him the money or declined to either lend or gift it), but now your talking about the risk that I'm deprived of my money for longer than I had anticipated as well as having the the cost of using my time in chasing him for it, so I'd want some interest to compensate for that risk.

In reality, what we do is (to some extent) to agree a social convention that "next time it will probably be the other way around" so that those potential losses even out between us and it makes sense that we reduce our administrative burden by not charging each other for them in the form of interest.

What is true is that as the time a loan is outstanding reduces, ability to judge the repayment risk is likely to improve to some extent in most cases. However even this isn't universal - for example if I lend against you receiving payment on an invoice just issued and where yuou have given your customer 30-day payment terms, I'm likely to have better certainty lending on a 60-day repayment term than a 1-day repayment term.

Please don't do this. If you're not found out in the interview, you'll be found out on the job eventually due to your obvious lack of experience. Some of my most personally loathed coworkers have been people who have bullshitted their way into positions by claiming skills they don't have or aren't qualified in, making them a nightmare to work with.
I don’t agree with you, but I am upvoting you because you are contributing meaningfully to the conversation with earnest discussion and a valid, if IMO incorrect, viewpoint.

I am disheartened to see your post greying out.

I've been remote for a long time now, but I don't see it working for everyone; I don't even think it would work for a majority of people. Many just lack the communication skills and discipline to make it happen, and there are many roles that can't be done remotely (doctors, janitors, cooks, etc).

Now what would be plausible is if we could get 10-20% of the workforce remote, and thinking about what that looks like. It might mean that at a remote-friendly company, something like 50% of the staff is remote so we need tools to help remote and in-office employees work better together.

It could also mean that parts of traditional organizations get broken into independent services. x.ai and clara labs both are great examples of how part of a traditional assistant's job is handed off to tech, but the same approach could be used to hand work off to remote employees. This would enable companies to hire fewer people for the in-office tasks, but it requires a rethinking of what each role's responsibilities are and might include sharing an assistant amongst a few execs rather than each having their own. These changes could have a big impact, but don't come directly from new technology. Still, I think they are worth considering when we imagine a more remote workforce.
Rather than ask me to explain why three people switched parties, you should explain why so many Southern segregationists (all but 3) didn't switch parties if the Democrats were suddenly the party of civil rights.

And the claim that interview with Lee Atwater is talking about Republican strategy makes no sense. It starts with "in 1954 you start out saying n....r, n....r, n....r." But in 1954 the South was solidly Democratic and Republicans were sending troops there to force integration. The quote describes a supposed "southern strategy" beginning in 1954 that bears no relation to reality in 1954. Why should we believe the rest of it when it's wrong from the beginning?
Might have been a whack a mole situation where the crackers have figured out how to make key and they know how to switch them easily whenever you invalidate one.

I'd argue that Kanban doesn't prevent you from having regular points in which to communicate. It's just that the work itself isn't bound by those points.

Having worked both scrum and kanban, I feel kanban is better for both large and small teams, so long as the team puts some thought into which items each person takes out of the backlog.
That's something employers have been able to do for thousands of years, and yet working remotely remains fairly rare. So I don't agree that "that would do it".
We can’t force anything, but profiting from it is another story which contains a moral dimension regardless of your ideological stance. There is no legal responsibility, but morals are sticky. For what it’s worth though, I appreciate your demonstration of the rationalization I mentioned in my first comment.
LeVeque's book "Fundamentals of Number Theory" is decent - it covers the basics (sometimes goes a bit beyond the basics), does some elementary ring theory, has exercises, and has a little bit of historical trivia.

Andrews has a book titled just "Number Theory" which is very combinatorial (gives a combinatorial proof of Fermat's little theorem) - the second half of the book is about partitions and their generating functions.

Borevich and Shafarevich have a book also titled just "Number Theory" which is an introductory text on algebraic number theory, ideal class groups, etc., and by the end it uses these techniques to explain how Kummer proved Fermat's Last Theorem for exponents below 100.

Baker's "A concise introduction to the Theory of Numbers" is exactly what it says on the tin. It has five to ten exercises per chapter, and each chapter is a fairly short introduction to a different branch of number theory, giving examples of the fundamental techniques or ideas or results in that area.
They're cautioning against drawing statistical conclusions from it. That doesn't mean the log-log plot isn't more useful than the linear plot.

Also they seem to be talking about a power law distribution, whereas here we're talking about the dependence of two variables. As a first step plotting them on a log-log plot and saying 'yeah, looks straight' is fine. Among other things this tells us the dependence is suspiciously close to a cubic root law, which could possibly be justified using dimensional analysis.

I actually find go extremely difficult to read. The abstractions tend to be both shallow and leaky, the syntax is noisy, and the very limited feature set forces a particular coding style whether it's appropriate for the problem at hand or not. It limits expressiveness, which I find makes it harder for an author to communicate intent.

In other words, go makes it extremely clear how a piece of code works at the expense of knowing what a piece of code is trying to accomplish and why I might want to invoke it. I generally think that's a poor tradeoff.

I read a great story, about him or one of those Tibetan Buddhist mindfulness teachers, wish I could remember who. He was teaching a mindfulness course at Esalen, on doing one thing at a time and really being there. One morning his students caught him in the act reading the paper while having breakfast. "Aha!" they said. "Yes," he said, "and when reading the newspaper and eating breakfast, read the newspaper and eat breakfast."

If Tears had NO claim to TC then why would Arrington willingly give up 10%? Pity? I don't think so. Not his style. Did they have a written agreement about the 75/25 split that muddied the waters? Possibly. We're definitely not getting the whole story and both sides most likely remember things quite differently now.

For those used to Go, there are no surprises.

I’ve found that my sense of „hierarchy“ is too strong when I start idolizing people. If you concentrate on the aspects where all humans are the same (eg mortality, human needs, driven by chaos/destiny/god/... etc), you can gain a sense that all people are worth the same, and you are among them. You no longer need or want to climb the hierarchy ladder, because there is no hierarchy, only the illusion of one.

Rock stars, billionaires, top scientists - they all die, shit and don’t have their life under control, AT ALL. They just do the thing that matters most to them, when circumstances allow them to - and so can you.

And yet, a search of [site:techcrunch.com "by keith teare"] turns up lots of guest-writing, where the "editor's note" describes him as a "co-founder" of TechCrunch, as well as other news stories by other TC staffers regularly describing Teare with the same boilerplate.

Teare may be intending to over-emphasize his role; Arrington may be resentful that Teare is touting his involvement this way. But for a long time, the TechCrunch site itself was happy to describe Teare as a "co-founder".

So whatever the cause of the Arrington-Teare spat, it's not outlandish for Teare to be making the same claim in 2018 as appeared repeatedly at TechCrunch itself, since at least 2011 (<https://techcrunch.com/2011/12/12/archimedes-labs-launches-a...).

The pricing between HK and Beijing is much reduced these days, definitely a lot more than it was when the first Apple stores opened (you can compare prices between apple.com/cn and apple.com/hk if you don't believe me).

Humans do not need to mine the ocean. The proven reserves of existing mines and future projects are more than enough for decades. Anyone who says otherwise is only looking to save a dollar and will cut costs on environmental sustainability. The USA is sitting on millions of tons of copper while watching other countries mine it out of theirs. We could supply the whole world for decades on our own if we wanted to restore our mining industry.

But there's no real economic need for US minerals.

I would argue there might be a strategic need for them, but not an economic one.

There is certainly no economic imperative to mine the ocean floor in the face of the potential environmental harm it may cause.

I question it's morality on the basis of balancing mankind's needs versus our calling to manage our resources properly.

Wouldn't this money be better spent recycling e-waste where the copper and gold content is significantly higher and the environmental impact is demonstrably positive?

I constantly hear how much money and time and resources SF spends on the homeless problem in this city.

If you're going to take a dump on the street, litter or shoot up drugs and leave your gross needle laying around, that absolutely should 100% be illegal. This doesn't have to do with being homeless, and everything to do with having bad manners without consequences for your actions.
No one's suggesting otherwise. Every culture has blood in their past, "civilization" is the slow process of collectively maturing to avoid those conflicts.

Ok great, thanks. You should!
Equality and equivalence get murky sometimes. Often there is some sense of equivalence that's 'good enough'. Like spaces that are isomorphic or functions that are equal 'almost everywhere'.

Now in by far the majority of cases inequality is defined for partial orders, which have the property that a<=b and b<=a imply a=b, so in that case a<=b and not b<=a implies b=/=a, but (non-strict) weak orders can have a<=b and b<=a without necessarily a=b.

I'm pretty sure there are also a few cases where they just prove reflexivity and transitivity and just make a and b where a<=b and b<=a equal by definition. I think you could use this in the definition for real numbers, but usually the equivalence classes are defined first and inequality is defined afterwards (which might be more work).
> "Ask yourself who is behaving in a censorious fashion and trying to suppress real discourse."

There are reasons members might flag a story other than to censor it, including being tired of the current volume of political stories on HN, and recognizing that not every topic can constructively be discussed in every forum.

One reason HN may not be the appropriate forum for such discussions is due to the difficulty in imagining that those that disagree with you might be doing so for any reason other than nefarious reasons, just as you assume that it was flagged in an effort to suppress real discourse. Real discourse does not assume bad faith and seeks to understand just as much to be understood, and seeks common cause rather than increasing divisiveness.

Notice there is nothing in my comment that is directed at any one political position, as it applies to any and all. Ask yourself if you thought I was attacking you and must be supporting the "other side" when reading my comment. Do you think that's a useful and accurate representation? Upon reflection, do you stand by your claim that members who may have flagged the story must be on the other side and behaving badly? What are you actually doing to move the conversation forward? Do you think you're moving the needle in a constructive direction when you do?

Remember, those that already agree with you aren't really your audience, are they? How do you think you're being received by those who don't agree with you? Or don't they matter? Are they unreachable?

These are all very real problems, and it's incredibly frustrating to see people grapple with them in ways that alienate each other, that are unconstructive, and then when people don't want to listen any more, or understandably get their backs up when they're treating each other badly, claim that they're being censored or oppressed.
