Any econ 101 class that talks seriously about a) fiscal effects, or b) trade (and hence the usefulness of Pareto-optimal game states) needs to talk about politics, because they are part of the system in question.

This professor specifically specialized in the study of recessions, in which government action is essential; and took special interest in the effectiveness of different government interventions.

Studying these subjects without talking about policy and politics is like studying security and ignoring human-factors research. I am in fact seriously skeptical about the quality of your econ classes that did not mention the effects of government spending, trade policy, taxation, or price controls.

I don't think it's something you have to solve, it will happen naturally. All kids do this and most tend to stop by adulthood.
This is wonderful and addictive. One thing that comes to mind is that the UI allows for very little metadata - for example in some cases the audio has a slight mispronunciation even though the intended word was clear - wouldn't it be helpful to mark "difficult" cases like this? In other cases the volume is just super low or there is background noise.

The other thing is that it's very cool to see the "you helped us reach out x% goal" thing but it locks up all the previous / next shortcuts which means I have to switch back to the mouse after 5 entries.
Apple's case is a little different because it lets you publish native code on the phone. (You can argue that websites effectively also publish code, but the web sandbox is probably quite a bit stronger than the iOS one.)

I don't think there's much advantage in knowing that you're some registered organization. It's pretty easy to register an organization - see e.g. https://stripe.ian.sh , to which the CASC responded by proposing the rule "Applicants that have been in existence for less than 18 months are not eligible for EV certificates," as well as a requirement that the CA inspect your tax returns to make sure you're a bona-fide business. This is basically a losing game (losing for the CAs, because it won't work, and losing for the world, because startups can't get EV certificates and everyone else loses their privacy), hence my comment about validating that you're a morally upright website. It's the evil bit, except as a TLS extension.

One thing that does have value, though, is making sure a website is the right website. It's perfectly fine for https://stripe.ian.sh to have a cert as long as they don't get my https://stripe.com credentials or cookies. On the cookie side, the browsers already solve this with the same-origin policy, so the hard part is just making sure that you don't enter usable login credentials on the wrong website (i.e., preventing phishing, which is the stated goal of CASC). There are pretty good solutions for this like FIDO/FIDO2 - in the future I'd like to see places like banks either giving you U2F security keys or letting you bring your security key in when you enroll for an account and activate it on their machine, because the FIDO protocol lets the security key participate in the same-origin policy. If I've enrolled my key with bankofamerica.com, and my login requires using a security key, I can't divulge usable credentials to bankofamerica-secure-login-trust-me.com.

Relatedly, the same-origin policy doesn't (and can't) distinguish between the type of HTTPS you have or whether there's a verified organization name on the cert. It treats any HTTPS for the same domain as the same origin. So the browser makers have been pushing back against meaningful distinctions between DV, OV, and EV (and also against EV even having any costmetic distinctions), which is completely at odds with the CASC's strategy. Sucks for the CASC because it means a $0 Let's Encrypt certificate is as meaningful as a $300+ EV certificate, but I think the browser makers are right, here.
Sure, that seems significant, but it didn't increase by 100% which is the premise coldtea bases their point on.

At some point it must be cheaper to just cut a massive piece of rock and ship it to the construction site, isn't it?
Yeah, but this is sort of like if SpaceX said their goal was to ship a big chunk of rock to the moon on two rockets within a week. But no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't get it all on two rockets, so as time was running out they built a third rocket out of spare parts from the first and launched them so they would land just in time and claim their goal. "See, we have shown that it is possible!" they would exclaim.

Except, I might say, you said you could do it with two indoor assembly lines but you needed a third outdoor line at full capacity, so you didn't show anything. We have no time to build more indoor space and we can't just keep building assembly lines in tents out of spare parts, man, they break down, it has to work with two indoor assembly lines so they will work long-term. You still need a 50% improvement in your assembly speed before you can take down that tent!

Plus, even though you had an third rocket when you assured us 2 was plenty, one of the rockets was 5 hours late. A whole extra rocket and still late?

Hi all,

We started https://hackclub.com three years ago after I dropped out of high school to build the program we wish we had as students - one that fosters hackers and a love for thinking.

In the years since, we've been fortunate to see this grow into a real program impacting thousands of students each week. We now have chapters in 221 high schools across 35 states and nearly 20 countries.

I know this is a bit non-traditional for Ask HN, but to kick off the summer we're asking our community to give back to the next generation by making a contribution to Hack Club. Hacker News has personally had an outsized impact on my life since discovering it my freshman year of high school and it would mean the world to have the HN community give to Hack Club.

Every $3 given supports a student for a month. Our students have gone on to host historic hackathons (https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Hack-the-Fog-mak...), start startups, and build nonprofits that are impacting hundreds of lives - and we're still just getting started.

Thank you for your consideration. Happy to answer any questions about our work.

Possibly, but the issue is with the workers applying the paint.
Ditto. ~9 months into my current software developer gig and the only time I used it for work was when the company internet was down, and the data service was bad enough that I barely even used it for that.

You gotta hand it to Elon for stirring the appetite for EVs though. What makes you think he can't do similar things in other markets?
I've actually had some really good frozen pizzas. The best ones I ever had were actually $4 frozen pizzas from the supermarket that were made in Italy. I'm not sure how they made a pizza in Italy and shipped it to NZ and managed to sell it for $4, but they were great, or at least the quattro fromaggio ones were. The ones with any frozen vegetables like mushrooms were sort of crap, the mushrooms went all watery.

In my experience with frozen pizza, the ones with less ingredients are better. Any frozen vegetables will go watery, so your options are really pepperoni or plain cheese. You want a pizza with a nice thin base

Let the pizza defrost for a little bit with the wrapper off before you put it in the oven, then blast it in the oven at maximum temperature.

It helps if you put the pizza on a pizza stone or on a rack, rather than on a tray. If it's on a tray, the bottom tends to get soggy.

Nit-picking a bit/kind of augmenting your train of thought. You can have non-interactive Diffie-Helman key exchange (via a PKI). As you say, the client would need to know prior to that the public key/have access to the certificate and that would require certainly revamping the DNS approach we now have (even if we did not use DNS, we would still have to deal with DNS requests).

He’s wrong, you can show switching doors improves your performance with Bayes’ theorem.
Generally speaking, a good Bayesian analysis includes what's known as a "sensitivity analysis" which seeks to measure how sensitive the results are to the particular choice of prior. Additionally, if strong prior assumptions are not available, an "uninformative" prior is used. In such cases, the results tend to be pretty close to those from frequentist methods, except the frequentist methods lack the Bayesian probabilistic interpretation.

> You’re forgetting about velocity. A dollar in a middle class earner’s hands gets spent faster than a dollar in a billionaire’s. That faster spending stokes both growth and inflation.

At a fixed money supply, growth causes deflation. People want to engage in more transactions and they need money to do it, which increases demand for currency.

You often see inflation during periods of growth because when there are high returns to be had, people take out loans to expand and banks making loans creates new money. The new money causes inflation. But if you really didn't want that to happen, it's simple to prevent it by requiring banks to hold more reserves (so they won't make as many loans).

But it's not clear why preventing moderate inflation should even be desirable. If you get a 10% raise at the same time as prices increase by 4%, who's complaining? You're up 6% annually and your mortgage, credit card debt and share of the national debt are down 4%.

> but what is the core principle involved with not being paid for your work?

I doubt their core principle is to not be paid for their work, and they never said that it was - you've imagined that from a silly twist of what they've written. They said their core principle was to licence as CC.

Do you think charity volunteers have a core principle to work for free? Of course not - instead they have a core principle to contribute towards a cause and they accept not being paid for it in order to achieve that.

I would imagine this person's core principle is the same - they want to contribute their photographs for other people to use without licensing problems and they accept not being paid for it.
Musk himself said they made mistakes in trying to automate everything when manual approaches work better. And all cars made today are highly automated anyway so not sure why this is a unique advantage.

More and more Tesla is looking like a traditional car company. Especially as the traditional car makers are moving aggressively into EV.
The relevant metrics would be daily/monthly active useres (DAU/MAU) and churn rate. But Blizzard doesn't report those number's unless they're good (e.g. Hearhstone/Overwatch hitting new record MAU last year), and hasn't ever released any such numbers for Diablo 3.

This article[0] claims Blizzards overall MAU was close to flat YoY-Q4 2016-2017, knowing that Overwatch and Hearthstone are hitting records high MAU, while overall MAU is flat means that the other games (D3, SC2, HotS) are losing players.

It's a success in the way Matrix Revolutions was a success, massively profitable[1] yet a disappointment to fans (see diablo 3 fan ratings[2]).

Thanks for this explanation, it certainly expels some of my confusion.

It seems then based on your reply that my friend is possibly wrong for invoking Bayesian theory regarding the Monty Hall problem for the exact reason he claimed it was the only answer? (note, my friend is a brilliant person and dedicated engineer who understands math far above my level. I only program with statistics and the PhD's tell me what to do.)

In other words, his argument is incorrect in his assessment because we actually _do_ have previous knowledge? (He pointed out that Bayes theorum was used for analysing insurance premiums for new kinds of insurance because there was no previous data to work with, which fits with your statement.)

This seems like too easy an answer for him to have missed, which makes me suspect of my understanding of your reply.

It sounds like you're talking about just using the maximum likelihood estimator (with a special likelihood) which is similar to using a flat (improper) prior. One disadvantage of doing so is that the results aren't invariant to reparameterization of the problem. The latter problem can be fixed by using Jeffreys' priors. However, the MLE is very effective in its own right.

Err, you can use CC-BY-NC the same as AGPL can be used for semi-commercial software like CockroachDB et al. Yes, a plain CC-0 or CC-BY makes it hard to sell licenses, though they are still possible, due to not being able to make it look endorsed by the original creator, which is somewhat hard in e.g. submarine ads, like those where billboards show something you don't understand for a few weeks/months, followed by a reveal that links the brand to the campaign. There are probably other usecases that are blocked/made hard by CC-BY alone, without even going to CC-BY-NC.
> you will have a very hard time understanding how these changes affect the overall economy on a macro scale

We understand the relationship between the temperature and pressure of ideal gasses without a precise presentation of quantum mechanics. Similarly, we can produce useful production functions without comprehending the complexity of the bulk.
Not sure if this is what you are after, but we run the following process for user facing features & apps:

1. Product Owner creates mockups of desired flow/functionality in Balsamiq. Including acceptance criteria for QA.

2. Architect questions, reviews mockups, annotates with API calls (existing or new)

3. Mockups passed to UI designer who provides design and resources for developers

4. Development

5. Release, QA & UAT once passed

Key to this approach is (a) a product owner who is has a technical background so you start from something sensible, (b) not letting the product owner build UIs but rather flow & functionality (so the designer has free reign), (c) not taking on too much within a single project (eg a fully fledged app from scratch would be multiple iterations of this).

If it is an incremental change or a change related to a growth experiment, during step (1) we set the hypothesis (Eg increase conversion rate through funnel X) and on deployment is evaluated.

If the change has significant architecture / backend implications the architect specs these out separately using either a checklist or a functional spec which is then broken down into JIRA tickets.

We are a small team, but I have found this approach works in larger orgs too. Any time we have started with BRD/PRD etc I find they get outdated fast. Documentation heavy methods have been helpful work for architecture backend changes though.

A dig is not, in general, substantive, and I fear that your use of words like "hellscape", "backward", "filthy", "tacky", "stupid", and maybe even "fat" have a tendency to inflame and thereby distract from whatever on-topic point you may have.

>standardized-testing/sortition based rotating aristocracy

We had that for a couple centuries where the test was birth right. Somewhere down the line, we decided to cut their heads off.

Democracy in theory gives ordinary people power to choose their country's destiny. As someone who has a loved one in sg, I think their situation is peculiar but part of it is that their "aristocracy" actually does a decent job of providing for most of the people, so they don't feel the need to revolt against the PAP. In the US, we too have an aristocracy (although people might not want to admit to it) but they have not done a good job of taking care of people and so they is currently a lot of unrest that is flaring up here and there. It has a different flavor, but there is certainly political strife. So, imo, aristocracy is not a stable system because that aristocracy, being unaccountable, can turn against the people that hold it up, and thus be vulnerable to deposition.
Bayes’ theorem says no such thing. Your friend is wrong, but please do not let this reflect badly on the Bayesian interpretation of probability in general—it has nothing to do with this.
