Surveillance Oversight Across the Golden State
If you work in a big tech tech company and let the RSUs actually vest with a bit if financial frugality and saving, then you could. This is, of course, assuming that you don't intent to stay in an area of high cost of living.
Worth noting that Electron and native apps both only need to run at the frame rate of your monitor, and do the actual work within your users' expected response times.

The quality of your applications is primarily determined by what you care about, not by what tools you build them with.
While I think this (like Slack) can provide value and might be welcome by some as a great tool for work I cannot stress enough the fact that from my experience chat for work becomes misused when it's allowed or encouraged to be used for organizational purposes.

At a glance it seems to me you might have found a good use for it, just please remember where chat starts and ends being a useful tool as it seems to me more and more people use it for things it is not good at.

Do educate me if you think I'm missing it's point.

You've done panels? I had done Paleo for years and on a whim I decided to try plant based for 2018 and have seen many improvements as well. I'd be curious how your panels compare to mine, especially with regard to cardiovascular focal areas.
For whatever its worth, I do security assessment (pentesting and the like).

Checking logs for sensitive data is a routine test when given access atleast.

Being given that access is disappointingly not routine though.
I actually agree with you 100%. I disagree with the presumption that those "13%" unsupported cases are "actual customers".

In the same way that I've always thought it was false to suggest all software pirates are potential customers. Some simply arent.

If you're so desperate for revenue that you have to scrape those "13%", that your product can't attract enough of the remaining "87%" to put keep your grandkids fed, then maybe the more significant admission is that the market you're in is "too" saturated.

(I don't believe in "too saturated". <3)

Oops! I shouldn't try out new features right before going to bed... Here's the proper formula:

const tetrate = (a, n)=> n=== 0n ? 1n : a * * (tetrate(a, n - 1n));

And I definitely am not getting the same results described. However; it's still possible to get a "Maximum BigInt size exceeded" error, and I wonder if anyone knows how this is determined?

Edit: it looks like I posted the "proper" formula originally, but HN's formatting strips away Javascript's exponentiation operator. So, I'm using "* *" instead.

Netlify. You can write a 1-page static site and deploy for free in one command with no setup. It's amazing. There are probably competitors and sure an S3/GCS bucket is really not much harder, but this is truly effortless.

You could use Typeform, Google Forms, or one of the CMS as an API services to take in form submissions without running a back end.
> there just aren't a lot of resources for writing desktop apps.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? I develop primarily for macOS, and I’ve very rarely been unable to find resources for what I need.

As far as alternatives for cross-platform, one possibility in many scenarios is to write your core functionality in a language that can target multiple platforms (e.g. C, C++, Rust, Swift) and then write platform-specific wrappers around it.

(I don’t personally think Electron is the end of humanity, but it does irk me when people call it “native”.)
The same mechanism that fills the new capacity realized by increasing the number of lanes on a highway. Utilization increases to fill available capacity.

That’s the fallacy here, that more housing is going to meet or exceed the demand hyper growth-focused companies will continue to produce for employees.
Not to mention that people over 40 in China grew up in a much poorer and more rural country than today's China. They probably had correspondingly less chance to learn modern job skills, so are probably even less employable than first world 40-year-olds.

"The political has nothing in common with the moral. The ruler who is governed by the moral is not a skilled politician, and is therefore unstable on his throne. He who wishes to rule must have recourse both to cunning and to make-believe. Great national qualities, like frankness and honesty, are vices in politics, for they bring down rulers from their thrones more effectively and more certainly than the most powerful enemy. Such qualities must be the attributes of the kingdoms of the [CENSORED], but we must in no wise be guided by them."

My guess at an explanation -- have to be more clear on the "contest":

(1) You don't know about the BB function.

(2) We put our money in the pot.

(3) Secretly you write down the digits of the largest number you can think of.

(4) Secretly I see what BB(10,000) is and write down its digits. Uh, we are able to write quickly and have a lot of paper!

(5) We show our numbers, and the person with the largest number wins.
It has to be fast. Reinforcement learning takes 1000s of hours of game play for each experiment, and you want to do multiple experiments per day on a small cluster. The Atari games in OpenAI Gym run about 200x real-time per core, and the SNES games maybe 20x. Aim for something in that range. 1x is useless for research.

OpenAI Gym has a stable API for several video games. If you copy the API, researchers will be able to compare algorithms directly across games which is valuable.
Of course the reason is that the stores are not set up to accommodate pre-orders. The design of the stores themselves imply a particular relationship with the cashiers and other customers. It ought to be easy to fix for new construction and renovation if it's part of the plan. But it's a risk of pasting new business models onto existing infrastructure.
An equivalent response would be to say that "innocent of computability theory" here means "has no useful exposure to it at all (including how to use its notation in this contest)" rather than "doesn't understand its content".
That doesn't work for me.
I don't think "Yoda notation" is good advice. How do you prevent mistakes like the following with Yoda notation?

if ( level = DEBUGLEVEL )

When both sides of the equality sign are variables, the assignment will succeed. Following Yoda notation provides a false sense of security in this case.

As an experienced programmer I have written if-statements so many times in life that I never ever, even by mistake, type:

if (a = b)

I always type:

if (a == b)

by muscle memory. It has become a second nature. Unless of course where I really mean it, like:

if ((a = b) == c)

Conventions cause assumptions.
But unlike copyright trolls, the law firm in question can't guarantee that paying the protection money will actually protect you from being reported, so there isn't the same incentive to pay. A protection racket only works if the mafia monopolizes the threat, otherwise any random thug could destroy their business.
This is exactly what intuitionistic logic is all about. Instead of doing operations on variables which represent the truth value of a proposition, we can do operations on variables which represent the justification for a proposition. All we have to do is forego the law of excluded middle (A or not A is true). Which makes sense because we can't say we always have justification for A or have justification to refute A. Sometimes there are questions you can ask which you can never find the answer for or constrict justification.
For me, it is support for unicode filenames.

There are extensions for tarball and zip file formats that handles the problem, but not many software supports these extensions, whereas every software supporting 7z handles unicode filenames correctly.

Overturning Prop 13 isn't realistic since voters are selfish.

Overturning Prop 13 for everything but one's legitimate primary residence would be a lead-pipe cinch. Yet neither the legislature nor any deep-pocket funder for a relevant initiative constitutional amendment (cough Tom Steyer cough) has come forward.

Why did you say that the 6th busy beaver number "shall never be known"? The best refinement of the formal proof by Aaronson's student puts the 1919th value absolutely out of reach (per a link from HN user panic), but that's a ways away from 6...

I know some authors, I think including Martin Gardner and maybe Donald Knuth, have said that they don't necessarily expect humanity to establish the 6th busy beaver number with current mathematical methods, but "shall never be found" seems a bit too strong to me.

It should be easy to see that one of the things that separates Warren Buffett from the rest of us is that he has a unique perspective of the financial world – he sees all of the dynamics and intricacies of the financial world in a way that few others do.

And it doesn't hurt that he can get special deals that most people can't.

http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2011/08/no_y...

On the Bank Of America deal.

This isn't an ordinary investment, in which an investor buys common stock. Buffett's $5 billion is buying him 50,000 shares of a special class of so-called "preferred stock," which will pay him a 6 percent dividend, or $300 million a year. Just for the sake of comparison, BofA's common shareholders get a quarterly dividend of one penny a share. That means that if you owned $5 billion of ordinary BofA common stock at its current price of about $8 a share, you'd be getting a paltry $25 million a year in dividends—less than one-tenth of what Buffett will get. (Earlier this year, BofA tried and failed to get permission from the Federal Reserve to increase the dividend.)

BofA can buy back Buffett's investment at any time for a 5 percent premium.
Both amounts are lower bounds. "No win no fee" falls apart because the lawyers don't get a fee for a fine collected by the government, not because the fine is too small.
You conflated housing construction with market-rate housing. And it’s not true. SFTU simply notes that for every market rate unit you need 0.25 BMR units simply to accommodate the resulting job creation (retail, restaurant, public service, etc.) That’s just to keep things where they are, which is already a huge staffing crisis for the service industry in SF. More like 0.5 BMR to make an appreciable impact.[1]

This is something we all should care about if we’re not just here to make a quick buck. Long term we need teachers and cooks and waiters and artists to keep SF a desirable place to live.

As PG himself said, “These independent restaurants and cafes are not just feeding people. They're making there be a there here.”[2]

> but there's literally no equivalent in the US.

You’re kidding me, right? How hard did you actually look? You can find loads of $500 or less apartments (real ones, not like the shoebox you linked) in the US, and you don’t have to live in the middle of nowhere. Here’s a bunch in Raleigh, NC, which is part of a major tech hub (Research Triangle Park):

The US doesn’t have a housing affordability problem, we have a problem with everyone and their brother, regardless of income level, thinking they should be able to live in heavily populated, high cost of living cities.

> Society is PLAGUED with people who can't see any subject outside the lens of money. It's all people think about, it's disgusting.

I'm sorry, but when trying to value an investment, or determining whether I should make a loan, I think the lens of money is important. There's a reason people form corporations rather than charities. Corporations are able to fund themselves sustain driving new things year over year. Charities finish when the money runs out.

What is Musk trying to build if it isn't a sustainable corporation?

> Tesla's CEO is an engineer first and foremost. He doesn't give a s* if a worthless day trader doesn't know how to position. If the company dips into unforeseen debt while ramping up production, whoops.

This sort of flippant comment is naive. You don't think the employees whose stock is vesting in the company care about how it is going to be valued or fund itself in the future? If I'm a talented engineer, why should I work for Tesla if the stock the grant me could be worthless in 6 months? Or what about those on the production lines, worrying about whether their factory might close down?

If you care so much about the company's ambition, you should care about their financial situation. Without it, they aren't going to be able to do any real research and development, hire the best talent, or do any of the basic functions necessary to make electric cars in the future.

> They're pushing cars that will contribute to a sustainable future, that's what important here.

If you care about that, you should care about the company actually having a financial plan to achieve those goals.

> Tesla will still be fine in the long run.

Why? Without answering the financial questions I described above, there isn't any way to predict that accurately.

> Tesla cars are still high in demand. You still have to wait weeks/months to receive one.

That's less of an issue with demand than an issue of supply. Tesla is struggling to put out 4000 cars a week, and there's a Ford F-150 sold every minute in the United States.

> Sorry to all the vampires who don't know how to make a quick buck.

I'm sorry you believe that those who care about Tesla's financial situation are just trying "to make a quick buck". To build the future, you first have to fund it.
I think the premise is that "older people" don't "need" as much space (interior or exterior) as they did when they presumably were raising children in the home.

Then again, few people "need" SUVs.

"First, I presume your studies have more substantiative work, such that the ratio of IRB overhead is lower. A large part of his problem stemmed from basically just trying to formalize things that were already being done anyway. This certainly doesn't mean he should be exempt from any additional overhead, but it does set the priors for the "smell test" when the answers to various questions are rejected outright rather than iteratively clarified."

There's a huge difference between research and routine practice, as well there should be. Note that things that are actually done for quality improvement and routine care are exempt from IRB regulations. Even at the most onerous institution I was at, that was a one page form. At the most lenient, it was a online "Choose your Own Adventure" flow chart.

He'd know that if he had paid attention at the training past "Don't be a Nazi". Because IRB training is pretty much universally run by CITI, and I've done that training more times than I care to think about.

"There does seem to be a few points where ethics do directly conflict with his desires (eg getting explicit consent to be "part of a study" versus priming the patient), but reasonable stakeholders should be able to mutually work out their real concerns, rather than go off the rails with arbitrary bureaucracy - say, ask the question first for the clinical purpose, and then obtain consent to incorporate that data in the study itself."

One of the things that he ignores is you have to justify these things, rather than just going "I want to do it". I've been part of studies that do not even ask for informed consent due to the study design, but that's a point of negotiation and discussion with the IRB. And I absolutely think their default stance should be "No".

"You're really referencing the signatures being in pencil?! I don't see how this could possibly be construed as a strict ethical requirement. Please do enlighten."

I am. Pencil is really, really easy to alter. Having a requirement like the form must be signed in ink is a reasonable compromise between something like pencil and, as you allude to, notarized and witnessed, etc.

And his excuse, that his patients can stab themselves with pens, seems untrue for a subset of pens (felt tips) and still true for pencils.

Basically, he cast himself in the best, most put upon light as possible. I am already pre-disposed to muttering about the IRB, because it does add time to things, and sometimes is silly. That I came off reading that going "Noooope!" is a really bad sign.
The rhino didn't get there by boat, it got there walking. Actually, their ancestors got there walking when the island was connected by a land bridge to Asia, and they lived there happily for a few million years while the sea level changed and the position of the island changed.

The rhino family evolved something like 20 million years ago. See more details in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros#Evolution I still not sure how to read all the data in the table, but 20mya looks like an good approximation.

In Google I got this two maps of the Earth 20mya. Notice the difference in the shape of the Philippine area. http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~braile/edumod/flipbook/flipbook.h... http://www.thearmchairexplorer.com/geology/neogene-period

I'm not sure that the rhinos reached that place (the current island) 20 million years ago, but they had plenty of time and a lot of difference in the geography that makes a simple walk possible.

<oversimplification warning. See an accurate version in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo#Evolution >

On the other hand, Homo Habilis evolved only 2mya and they lived only in Africa, they had tool but they were not very smart. I think that at that time the Philippines were already isolated from Asia.

Homo Erectus evolved 1.5mya. They were quite smart and hd more tools! They went outside Africa to Europe and Asia, but they never crossed some big sea, and never reached America or Australia. They neither crossed some smaller extensions of water to reach some island that were not too close to the continens. So ... the conclusion is that they didn't have good enough boats.

Homo Sapiens evolved 0.3mya. (I was going to write 0.1mya, the number changes too often.) They could cross to some places no Erectus has gone before, so the conclusion is that they have some kind of boats even in ancient times.

So if the rhino was butchered 0.7mya then it must have be killed by some variant of Homo Erectus that have never been found in an island that is not very close to a continent because they didn't have good enough boats because they were smart but not smart enough. So the lack of boats is a problem for the hominin.

A lot of influencers revolve around the fashion industry on Instagram, Who are contacted by streetwear brands and Designer Labels such as Vetements, Balenciaga and OFF-WHITE...

If I were the IRB, I'd be more concerned about altering any check boxes on the form and the date.
Up to this point Pocket Casts has been an excellent app, but I'm not sure how enthusiastic I am about this news.
Yeah. I think you and I pretty much completely agree.

Like, I'm probably pro-development on balance, but it seems like a pretty two-sided issue to me. You can look at all the money the companies bring in, the tax revenue, the good jobs, but there are also 50 or 100 or whatever thousand people commuting to work every day. I don't think any town could manage that level of growth well without becoming a completely different place, and not what its residents signed up for. Then layer on all the knock-on effects, like escalating property taxes, overcrowding of schools, huge and growing demand for living spaces, escalating traffic everywhere, and a one-company monoculture overtaking your town, where every birthday party and backyard barbecue is going to turn into talking about work, and it doesn't seem like a great deal.

I think the tech industry is completely stupid to put up with this. It concentrates all the prosperity in one place, forces huge inflation due to contention for everything, and it all ultimately cascades to huge wage inflation.

I am so impressed by Amazon's HQ2 plan. They seem to be the one company willing to do what others aren't because it makes sense.
I think what the author is trying to get across is that BB(10000) would beat any large number generated through "conventional" means.

From the article:

IMHO Amazing: There's a boy in his room playing with his relatively large computer. He dreams up quantum mechanics and general relativity, types in the equations, clicks on the push button Big Bang, zooms forward 12 billion years of simulated time, and sees what he gets.

This was not his first try. His other efforts all ended in "Poof".

But this effort yielded life that figured out the equations! So, the equations generated life smart enough to figure out the equations.

So, the equations were both (1) general enough to generate life and (2) simple enough that the generated life could figure out the equations.

IMHO, amazing juxtaposition!

Is this set of equations essentially the only possible set of equations with both (1) and (2)?
