> It means to make decisions in the furtherance of a particular subjective goal.

The particular subjective goal is “experienced utility”, and economic rationality not only presumes that that can be meaningfully summed across time but also that the decision made will be made with perfect information as to resulting utilities and disutility and maximize the net lifetime experienced utility.
This is similar to my experiences with getting blood drawn. About two-weeks prior to the draw I would watch a couple of videos on YouTube of blood draws each night. By the time the day came, I was still anxious but fine.

I've been told that the anxiety was created by my nearly passing out when getting blood drawn but the mechanism for nearly passing out is different from panic or anxiety. Still, my "exposure therapy" worked. The last time I had my blood drawn I watch a couple of videos the night before but probably didn't even need to.
Came here to say this. It’s evidence based, very widely applicable for fears and anxieties, and easy to do self-guided. I used it to overcome a fear of needles. Still getting there but I’m now getting treatment I was turning down before.
What is the recall of these efforts, that is, what % of the "true bad actors" are they actually catching? My gut is that it's a whack-a-mole problem and it's not getting better.

Maybe the "bullshit" is only bullshit to you, the thorny tech-savvy reader. Maybe businesses have tried the plaintext approach, and their business was improved by adding fonts, stylesheets, API calls, spinners, scripts, high-res images, and god knows what else.

Maybe other people making these decisions aren't idiots, and maybe, just maybe, they're even thornier and tech-savvier than you.

> It's a consequence of any insufficiently regulated industry where the penalty for fraud is less than the profit of fraud. It's a fundamental feature of capitalism when untethered from objective assessments of value.

That is not a feature or consequence of capitalism. Fraud exists in any economic system, and the punishments for fraud are independent of the economic system itself.

> I hope people understand that this is actually a religious point, not a scientific one. The science says quite the opposite.

Science can say whatever it wants, if you look at our world objectively, it's quite plain to see people are motivateed primarily by economic forces.

For instance, in the following article [1] (top relevant, second overall google search result for 'why buy an electric car'):

>Q: Why should someone should go out and buy an electric car right now?

> A: They can make a huge contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions—that's the most important reason. There are advantages in terms of going into the carpool lane. Electric vehicles are becoming (price) competitive with internal combustion engines. In our report we looked at the life-cycle cost of ... electric cars, hybrid electric cars, gas-powered cars and we found that, for example, the Nissan Leaf and the Smart car are competitive right now even without (government) incentives. What's driving down the cost of EVs is the reduction in the cost of the battery. Another important point is that the maintenance is minimal.

There are several reasons given. All but the first are clearly economic reasons meant to persuade people into buy an electric car. I believe this to be because, in the opinion of the answer, buying an electric vehicle has positive economic incentives that the reader might not recognize immediately, and they are providing a case for overall economic benefit to the purchaser.

The first point is not immediately about economics, but I argue that it is indirectly. The best way to decrease your carbon footprint is to not have a car and to sleep outdoors. Of course, that is not an economically viable or desirable option for most people. These people have made a self-interested economic decision to own a personal conveyance that operates on public highways at the expense of carbon emissions.

There will always be a cross section of personal motivations (tastes, preferences) and economic self interest. The wealthy can afford to pursue the former at the expense of the latter; the average person will be more adherent to economic self interest in for the future or marginal pursuance of the former.

I am not trying to start a culture war or to pity the general English skills of recent immigrants and their family, far from it. They do their best, and we can only congratulate them for their efforts. I am not here to spew out racist generalisations, let's all stay very calm.

What I am saying is that we are seeing more and more locally produced Engrish, Chinaglish, RussianGlish, Penjabi-glish or who-knows-what-glish! And when I look at the name of the submitter of those texts, it's usually a typical recent immigrant name. But OF COURSE, we have Wilson's and Taylor's who write in horrendous English too.

I also am not saying all immigrants are idiots and cannot write in English, some are truly excellent, just as much as your typical "native".

What I am saying, is that with volume, that very occurrence of bad English is increasing. That's it. I can see how very unorthodox English style could be a challenge for AI.

Oh that's interesting, thanks. I'm not familiar with DragonFrame the software, but I imagine it's something that does 3D motion control for animators? I find it interesting that there doesn't exist (or that the author didn't use) an open source alternative for this box.
That sounds great. I usually use it when my sleeping schedule gets messed up, either from travel or my natural drift. So that sounds perfect. Thanks!
89 and 93 octane isn't the right argument.

You need to ask why does gasoline contaminated with ethanol still exist, when all it does is increase the cost of gasoline (per mile), decrease mileage (per gallon), and increase emissions (both per mile and gallon).

Drivers would save tons of money if they'd refuse to buy it, we would just need to get enough of us together to get such a thing done.
Good question. Jonathan and I both from a lisp background and are used to crafting DSLs out of s-expressions (which is what we normally do).

For JITX, we're using a language called Stanza, which provides decorated s-expressions out of the box. It's basically still just s-expressions, but it looks prettier.
I agree it's become a problem and place for companies to milk the system.

What is the alternative? There will be costs. How should it be paid for, which both maintains quality and is fair to authors?

At the API and system service levels the reason for all that goofy cruft is that businesses still use it, a lot, and are willing to pay fairly big bucks if and only if they get to keep it.

Adding Linux features is just more cruft added to the kludge. Sells more units, particularly in Azure, not particularly part of some sort of strategic direction then, say, the Distributed Transaction Coordinator.

The UI and OS-level shovelware stuff on the other hand is a nightmare that might kill the not-quite-golden-anymore goose.
>If you assume that people are locked into a fixed position in the economy, then yes, those people have seen negative wage growth when adjusted for inflation.

80% of the country makes under $65k[1]. They're pretty locked in. This talk of "upward mobility" is not really true. Only a few will move up the chain, but not the majority. Not everyone is moving into management, not everyone is becoming a software engineer. With the costs of college education & textbooks rising exorbitantly, less people are able to afford to get the skills to move up [2].

>I guess the question to ask is: should we expect the real earnings of low level, low skill jobs (not people) to increase over time as the economy does? As you said, these are relatively flat. I have no reason to assume someone performing low-skilled labor in 1970 should be paid more in real terms than someone today doing the same job, in pure economic terms.

The cost of everything necessary is rising[2] while income's have stayed the same since the 70's when adjusted for inflation, so yes I expect "low skill" jobs to keep up. "Low skill" jobs are still a necessary part of the economy and someone hast to do them; who's going to pick up your trash at work, who's going to make your smoothies, who's going to prepare your breakfast sandwiches, who's going to pick up trash at event stadiums, who's going to cut your hair?

Considering there's no evidence whatsoever to back up your second paragraph, yes, it is crazy to point it out.
There was an article in The Economist about improving road transport in India with clever logistics. If I remember correctly, one of the significant savings was that by swapping drivers every few hundred miles you can arrange for each driver to sleep at home most nights, which makes the job more pleasant, so you don't have to pay them so much.

>a boot camp graduate has already been exposed enough to modern tech stacks to at least come in as a junior.

From my experience that is not true. Bootcamp graduates (obviously barring additional experience) tend to be qualified to start at the intern level.

>Too many CS grads have little practical experience

Compared to veterans yes, but compared to new bootcamp graduates I disagree.

What CS grads can lack vs bootcamp graduates is the kind of thing they can pick up in a few weeks (as evidenced by bootcamps only lasting 6-12 weeks)--the reverse usually isn't true.

Practically, I've almost never seen this. Just like I've never interviewed a CS graduate who couldn't use a for loop despite all the horror stories that people like bring up. Even the most theoretical CS programs tend to require several sizeable projects.

Bootcamp grads can be a good find if you're willing to train, but in general that's because they are cheaper than CS grads, and for some level of work they tend to be goo enough, not because they are better programmers.

There are obviously many exceptions to this, and I'm only comparing CS grads to new bootcamp grads assuming similar backgrounds ages etc... One advantage bootcamp grads do have is that they tend to be a little older/more mature, but that's really nothing to do with bootcamp vs university.

I think bail also serves as a mechanism to make sure they show up for the trail. Or if they don't show up, their family and friends who helped post the bail will tell the police where they are.

How about you distract yourself with movies, books, music, drinks or good old fashioned mild sedatives.

I find that reading, or movies completely relax me because it takes my mind away from thinking about bad things that might happen, which are not in my control.

Maybe a puzzle, sudoku, cross word?

what is something you enjoy most? Find that out, and carry it with you.

get a better boarding position, pay if you have to. settle down, relax, stay hydrated, get some noise cancelling headphones.

if watching out the window makes it worse, dont do it. focus on whatever activity you picked up.

if a turbulence happens, my thinking goes like this - "if this were a bus or a car, would this level of turbulence make me worried?", the answer is always No. if it gets worse, allow yourself to be scared. dont hold it back, say it out loud to your neighbor or to yourself --- "ooh, that was rough. " verbalizing our fears help us stay less panicked.

hope my tips help you.

The performance seems great in comparison. But this laptop seems a bit thin for my taste. There would be room to almost double the battery if the thickness was increased. There would also be room for USB-A and a LAN port. Two things I would really like to see.

Also I read a lot of bad experiences here on HN with the XPS line every time it comes up. Personally I know at least two people who had a bad experience with it and ended up replacing the machine with something else. Is Dell improving on that part or has it stabilized?

On paper the machine looks really good but right now I just can't justify pulling the trigger to replace a Retina-MBP.
No, a scammer can say to 10 people "here's $10 to buy get an account, now leave 100 reviews and I'll pay you $1 for each" and that guy himself gets paid $10 per review directly from the seller. The people each made $100, and he spent $110 on each of them, losing $1,100 total, but he made $1,000 of each, so $10,000 total. At the end of the day he made $8,900 by acting as a middle man.
Yes, there are several grading systems. We don't use them. However, when I have to re-read a simple sentence or paragraph 4-5 times, and perharps read the whole text or even search about a product in order to understand what they are trying to say, then it's a pretty clear indication the text is muddy!

People can reasonably disagree on what constitutes propaganda, which is why I like the language that they are using here.

Coordinated inauthentic behavior -- multiple account purporting to be unrelated acting in tandem. Regardless of where you land on the magnitude of election interference vs. information warfare, and state actors vs. trolls vs. hacker collectives, this behavior, using sock puppets to create the impression that information is coming from multiple independent sources, is worth exposing.
Just do it at the same time you do the router upgrade. Updates are released every couple of weeks. You don't have to install all of them, and not all of them require a reboot, but you could totally do it was I describe. I do have a separate machine for the router (the machine also runs the Kubernetes master), but that's more due to how my house is wired, not because I need it.
I guess I should elaborate.

Blender is extremely capable in a wide range of areas. It’s much more than simply fuel in your analogy, it’s much more like the car builder’s toolbox or even his workshop.

Blender can do complex 3D modelling, physics based rendering (now including real-time EEVEE). 3D animation including rigging and physics interactions, Video editing, 3D motion tracking, plane tracking, image compositing and spatial audio.

Its grease pencil tool is execptional and allows for powerful 2D animation. The freestyle NPR renderer can export animation outlines to SVG.

It has a wide range of plugins for architecture, 3D printing and CAD.

Everything can be scripted via python and almost everything in the UI can be keyframed.

It is an exceptional project and a credit to the open source community.
yeah. and if it was only the mbs, well, ok. everyone prefers hd to sd video. but the real problem is that the extra mbs we see are mostly things that we don't need, that don't add anything, that we would be better without, and that in many cases are completely unjustified and do not only hinder the user, but also the very own developers (who sometimes are so lost that don't even realize themselves).

It seems just the opposite to me. The Windows Subsystem for Linux seems a testament to the NT Kernel and its deliberate approach from nearly three decades ago. Designed originally to support Win32, POSIX, and OS/2 frontends, for a long time it only ever really needed to exercise one of those things. Now it has the best POSIX layer it has ever had, focusing on byte-for-byte compatibility with binaries targeting the Linux kernel. That's incredible power, and the idea that the NT Kernel is doing it almost like running any other application is fascinating. If the NT Kernel is "Doing Linux better than Linux", that's a fascinating statement, because the NT Kernel is also running Win32, UWP, and all of its own chores at the same time. What's the Linux kernel doing? ;P

Sure, Win32 is a beast now past retirement, and Microsoft has been trying to help that retirement happen sooner rather than later with UWP, but again, that seems a testament to the underlying NT kernel, because the NT kernel doesn't care, it's still chugging along doing its thing and doing it well. It's also running on more hardware combinations and more processor architectures than most other kernels could dream of touching.
Is it strictly true that authors are allowed to send you their papers if you email them? Are they allowed to send the published version, or must they send a preprint? If they can send you the published version, why can't they host it somewhere? And if they can only send the preprint version, why not put it up on arXiv anyway?

I don't mean to cast doubt on the tweet's purpose (I agree with it), and for what it's worth I've emailed other researchers for paper access as well. I would just like to see some proper legal analysis behind these questions, because I see the same point repeated frequently by scientists who are not lawyers.

It would be pretty cool if there were a platform that automated your request to get a paper from an author. I don't know how that would be plausible without hosting the papers though, and I imagine that would get into trouble.
I'm pretty sure that's what analysts are saying. The biggest cause was the drop in earnings and projected earnings due to increasing spend on security. It's not all the moderators but it's all part of the same push.
At $20 it's a relatively cheap option, probably better than a plastic grocery bag (probably with a hole), and nicer than some of the pouches, etc that I've seen that attach to the back of a seat using a strap around the headrest. The fact that it's waterproof is a plus if you have drink containers.

Worth $20? Maybe. Making $15k/month on it? Not sure I see that being sustainable.

I put this in the same category as the Totasak.
When you compare accidents by mile or by hour air travel is still much safer than driving. It is true that to drive 12,000 miles would take 12,000 hours while you can do that in 20 hours in a plane. That said you are also more than 50,000x as likely to die in a car accident.

Prefer tools that everyone else uses, unless you have a very compelling reason not to (windows: too many 0 days, complexity, and surface of attack ; wifi: too easy to start a rogue network)

Because when these popular tools get hacked, you will know it. I keep an eye on rogue firmware. I have not seen a real world threat yet, but I do expect spear fishing attacks for people involved in crypto (fortunately, not for us just writing software)
