He certainly has a lot of natural talent in two different areas, but those things only take you so far at the pro level. There are many glowing stories from former coaches and professors acclaiming his work ethic in pursuing both. As role models go, I think he's pretty good. Especially since very few other athletes ever talk about enjoying math.
The README for 2.0 contains an interesting apology to OEMs:

> The user manual contains some significant errors. Most of these are
due to last minute changes to achieve a greater degree of compatibility
with IBM's implementation of MS-DOS (PC DOS). This includes the use
of "\" instead of "/" as the path separator, and "/" instead of "-"
as the switch character. For transporting of batch files across
machines, Microsoft encourages the use of "\" and "/" respectively
in the U.S. market. (See DOSPATCH.TXT for how you can overide this.
The user guide explains how the end-user can override this in CONFIG.SYS).
Both the printer echo keys and insert mode keys have now been made to
toggle. The default prompt (this may also be changed by the user
with the PROMPT command) has been changed from "A:" to "A>".
We apologize for any inconveniences these changes may have caused
your technical publications staff.

So MS-DOS almost had Unix-style file separators and argument switches!
Is Butter a Healthy Fat?
I don't think it was ever a theory, just an idea.

If BigCorps, who employ a lot of people are healthy and stable, they will invest and grow. Related to supply side economics.

It's not irrational.

BigCos along with banks are at the center of the economy - their leaders have more direct and clear impact that others.

Demand side things like government subsidies are generally a little more indirect, take time, and of course come a long with a bunch of side effects.

2008 was 'trickle down' economics, i.e. 'the banks must survive' and they got some cherry deals.
You can’t see how the other person rated you before you rate them in Uber. Also this would explain why you’d always rate high, not choose two stars over one which is still a bad rating.

Airbnb has this problem though. A loud apartment on the highway will have no mention of it being on the loud highway. Just ratings like “5 stars, great for early risers!”

Airbnb has no motive to fix it because their service looks great with rating inflation.

If there’s a problem with Uber’s rating system, it’s that it’s a five-star system.

I thought I was the perfect Uber passenger (always on time, sat quietly) until I saw my rating. It was 3.5/5. Too arbitrary to be actionable. Is it because I’m a gringo living in Mexico? Should I start small talk more often? Tip them in cash? Is it because I only use it to go to the airport which is a long and traffic-ridden drive which must not be fun for the driver? Or is 3.5 actually a good rating because it’s above 3.0, etc.

The subtle art of small talk. There are so many benefits, from flirting to sales and whatnot. Especially in business relationships it helps smooth the process and make people feel comfortable with you. Over the years I've noticed that people who are very good at sales are masters of small talk.

And (For most of the time) easier to park compare to a car.
It's a little different though. GPUs have all those registers because they (1) have a desperate need to optimize around pipeline stalls (because a texture read is many times slower than blocking on main memory) and (2) "know" that they have problem areas appropriate to tiny kernels of code that can work efficiently in fixed size register sets. So they arrange that a "context switch" can be done by changing one index register in a hardware scheduler.

They have a bajillion registers because that works to solve the problem they have, not because they're trying to find out "how to use" them. If you had the same amount of die area and a scalar-ish problem, you'd spend it on a traditional cache hierarchy just like CPUs do.

The web has become a three-class system:

- Creators and tech-savvy people are able to cut out the bloat and enjoy a fast and secure web because they live in rich countries with good infrastructure

- The average user. Ironically the first group creates the bloated web to extract money from the average user. The average user in rich countries can count on the infrastructure to have at least an acceptable browsing experience.

- People in poor countries like Africa, which need to count on browsers like Opera to compress the web, to make it usable at all. Even with compression techniques everything is still a struggle, because the average size of web pages seems to increase more and more.
I totally read this as "Introduction to Machine Code for Learners"
Nothing about the presence of SPF or DKIM should override distrust of an IP, just as the presence of an IP shouldn't override distrust of a domain, that's simply confusing different functions. Neither SPF nor DKIM nor IP provide trust, what they provide is identity. Identity is the basis for reputation. And reputation is the basis for trust.

When you use IP blocklists, say, you are effectively using a reputation database that maps an identity (a client's IP address) to a reputation score that heuristically reflects how well the owner of that address space has guarded the address against use by spammers.

Equally, you can have a database of reputation scores for domains that reflect how well the owner of that domain has guarded the domain against use by spammers.

So, the existence of an authenticated domain identity, as established through SPF or DKIM, should override the IP address identity as the basis for determining the reputation of the sender. The identity alone never provides trust, it is only the key for looking up reputation in some database to base your trust on, and to store any reputation feedback under (like, when an email is marked as spam by the recipient). If your database says that my domain is trustworthy, then you should accept emails from that domain even if they come from a tor exit node, and if you determine that it is spam after all, that should lower the reputation score of the domain, not of the tor exit node.
You also don't have to question if it is counterfit. You can just assume it is. Petty theft from engineers, by engineers. It is an unusual world.

The article is correct when it says that Greenspan did not believe in totally rational or efficient markets.

But Greenspan clearly stated that he believed that laissez-faire capitalism was the optimal option for democratic society even when it causes some Irrational exuberance.

Greenspan was Objectivist who had close relationship with Ayn Rand until her death. Allowing market irrationality to select who wins and loses was not against his political ideals. He believed that better are people being taken advantage by the masses in democratic society.

Greenspan politicized his office and always advocated laissez-faire. He was acting very rationally based on his ideology.
Show HN: Don’t like having a million tabs open. Be more productive
I spent around 2 years in different countries in South America before this and I guarantee you the situation was worth without uber. Getting scammed was guaranteed, I was consistently more concerned about getting robbed or killed. 90% of the stories I heard of people getting robbed in South America were from cab drivers. Chloroform rags being tossed in the back seat, Guns pulled, Driving to a bad part of town and getting jumped by the cabbies friends, etc...
Since you've edited your comment belatedly to ask if I know how that sounds, I'll add this answer.

Yes I know exactly how the words you're trying to put in my mouth sound and I know why you are doing it.
I had not expected to have to point this out on HN of all places, but Africa is not a country.
How likely is it that the three bug combination could be discoverd without access to source code ?
Ask HN: Why did Denise Mueller-Korenek get towed to 100mph, not something faster
How was 100 mph determined to be the optimal speed to get towed to. Why not something faster like 150mph or 180mph so she can accelerate from there.
Let me know when people are ready to get down to brass tacks about the Fed; that it is an unconstitutional abrogation of the congress's powers, that it was created and passed under the most dubious of circumstances and by the most duplicitous group of people, and that the very banks that cause it's various crashes are the ones who own it and run it and bail themselves out. The FOMC is corrupt. The POTUS can do nothing other than appoint the board and hope they do what is needed.

People let the economists use word-salad to confuse and obfuscate matters, and this article is just naive whitewashing that does no root cause analysis and ignores the rca that has already been done.

when speaking about the financial system, I am often reminded of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "For a thousand hacking at the branches of evil, only one is striking at the root."

I suppose it makes sense for incumbent brands to delay: they'd like to control when and how this cannibalizes their existing product lines.
Your Levi’s example might just be Levi’s. They have numerous sub-categories and different vendors will be selling different ones. Also their QA is notoriously bad so things like fit between any two pairs can be a toss up
This story completely ignores the role of the lending institutions in encouraging and facilitating this. If the agents of those institutions encourage people to believe "this is how you do it", quite a lot of people will begin to believe that it is the new normal, and worry that if they don't get in on it now, they never will be able to do so later.

It is pointless to say "they should have known better" because lots of people simply did not, and this had bad consequences for many who did, including people who did act responsibly, but lost their homes anyway as a consequence of this recklessness.

It is more to the point to say that the institutions and regulators should have known better.

One reason this part of the story is being overlooked is that none of the executives responsible for encouraging and facilitating irresponsible and even fraudulent lending were sanctioned in any way (maybe they had a reduced bonus one year, and had the effrontery to claim that was unfair.)

Ironically, those who walked away from mortgages they could have paid were acting as rational economic agents.
If it went away entirely, as in also from laptops, desktops and Raspberry Pis, without adapters being available, maybe.

Texas is big, red, suburban, and growing.

Texas is a success despite basically doing the opposite of what New Urbanists say at every turn.

This must really burn up writers at StrongTowns.

The big problem for New Urbanists is the fact that dense cities seem to end up with more and more expensive problems than the burbs.

Looking forward to a wave of Medium posts and Atlantic articles in 2021 professing a newfound love for suburbia as Millennials get sick of paying the bills for broken boondoggles like HSR and the dead-on-arrival Transbay hub
That they’re spending frequently enough and in large enough amounts that they may not notice, nor have the time to question and reconcile.
I wonder if it would be worthwhile for small OS projects like this to pivot toward running on the Raspberry Pi instead of on generic PC hardware.

The downside for Haiku would be that they're giving up on the original goal of maintaining binary compatibility with original BeOS software. But that ship may have largely sailed, anyway, with the decision to go 64-bit.

The upside is that it would reduce the number of different hardware devices that they would need to support in order for people to perceive it as useful software by approximately 5,367 orders of magnitude.

(Well, that and a bunch of rework to get over to the different hardware, ofc.)
I do sometimes think about buying a bar....
>If your database says that my domain is trustworthy, then you should accept emails from that domain even if they come from a tor exit node, and if you determine that it is spam after all, that should lower the reputation score of the domain, not of the tor exit node.

How would you establish trust in your domain from a tor exit node?

Home connections that send email are 99.9% of the time involved in a spam sending botnet. Those IPs are almost always entirely distrusted.

So you can't build trust into your domain without getting a both a trusted domain on a trusted TLD on a trusted IP.

The identity issue is not of concern since there is no good way to tell if the IP of a domain's mail server changed to a tor exit node because it was compromised, sold or otherwise maliciously claimed or if the owner legitimately did it. Lots of people will therefore treat changing the endpoint for mail as a new identity (for good reason).

>Equally, you can have a database of reputation scores for domains that reflect how well the owner of that domain has guarded the domain against use by spammers.

This already exists, multiple domains. Any spam blacklist operates via such reputation scores. It's utter pain to get your reputation fixed on these once you're in bad standing.

These go for both IPs and Domains. SPF and DKIM are a great way of avoiding trashing your reputation because some spammer is sending under your domain. But we already have tools for reputation.

If you build an IP reputation database, you'll quickly find out that Home IPs will get trash reputation regardless of if you think they should be allowed to send anything. (That's not even mentioning that Home IPs aren't stable)
How about a free app that requires one-time web payment & authentication for paid features, bypassing Apple's 30% tax? All the feature code would be available in the app binary, but not enabled until authentication against the developer's license server. Same could be done for major feature updates, with a one-time payment for unlocking the new features. It would be a QA challenge to have a single binary supporting customers at different entitlement levels, but not impossible.

What stops developers from using this model? There are already free apps which requre SaaS subscriptions. Amazon Kindle famously requires books to be purchased via website, then downloaded in their app.
Not really - these posts are part of the knowledge graph box (which can already be controlled by a company if it's a company result). They aren't mixed in with the actual search results (although on mobile the knowledge graph box can appear above a search results depending on the search/context).
Exactly. Things like sequels as also classified as adapted. Borat got a nomination for best adapted screenplay because it was based on the character from the tv-show. But the screenplay is supposed to be judged on its own merit, the academy members is not required to have read the book or whatever.
Apart from the price, I prefer Udemy courses because I can check ratings and reviews, so I know what I am paying for. With Udacity, it's a bit of a mystery. It's like signing up for an interesting class in college and realizing the professor is bad later. Also, it really bothers me that the names Udemy and Udacity are so similar!!
This tax structure simultaneously keeps housing cheap while putting more money in the hands of workers.
I think it's the same with every social network. People start using it, they're excited, put their stuff out there, it's fun to use. Then, after a few years the marketers realise that is a thing, and all of a sudden all the content from your friends sits next to all this professional content. People don't feel like their stuff is good enough, and they stop posting, preferring to browse all the awesome stuff from other people. And at the end, everyone stops checking in as frequently, because they realise that none of the fun, exciting stuff is left, it's only marketing for crappy products with a thin veneer of thoughtfulness sprinkled on top.

> We charged money for a good or service

> I know this one is controversial, but there are enormous benefits and you can immediately reinvest a whole bunch of it in your project sips daiquiri. Your customers will appreciate that you have a long-term plan that doesn't involve repackaging them as a product.

> If Pinboard were not a paid service, we could not have stayed up on December 16, and I would have been forced to either seek outside funding or close signups. Instead, I was immediately able to hire contractors, add hardware, and put money in the bank against further development.

> I don't claim the paid model is right for all projects that want to stay small and independent. But given the terrible track record of free bookmarking sites in particular, the fact that a Pinboard account costs money actually increases its perceived value. People don't want their bookmarks to go away, and they hate switching services. A sustainable, credible business model is a big feature.
But chargeback is not legally binding, is it? So you just put yourself in a situation where you received a service and didn't pay for it. I am pretty sure Uber could do something about it if they cared.
Smokers often overestimate the numbers, and underestimate how much of a minority they are. I read a number of ca. 10% (of adults I guess) for Germany. In some circles it feels like 99% and on average like 50%. Observation bias persists.

Lately, Instagram has become very pushy. If you go to your profile page in the app, it shows notification badges at the top right corner for stuff that might have happened in the Facebook app. It's so unnecessary! I'm sure FB wants to push more changes like that. All good things must come to an end ... sigh.

Demand and supply must match. Too much supply creates just excess capacity and reduces the return of investment.

That matching quantity is the size of the economy.

Supply side argued that improving supply will increase demand and grow economy.

In practice the demand side is more often correct, supply side wrong. Demand creates incentives to increase supply, not other way around. Supply side can be correct in some special circumstances for a short time, but not so much that it would be solid macroeconomic policy.

Economy is like a rope. Demand is like pulling the rope. Supply is like pushing the rope.
