No it doesn't. In the 2/3 case, you're given information about the whole set, not just one member. Instead of "seeing one boy" affecting the gender of the other child, it's "seeing there are more than 0 boys" affecting the gender of one of the children.

Here's another example: If I flipped 100 coins, and told you there were 99 heads, what's the likelihood the other 1 was tails? The answer is 100/101, because there are 100 ways the one tail could happen, while only one way zero tails can happen. But if you're only told that the first 99 are heads, the answer is 1/2. You know the last flip has exactly the same odds as all the other ones -- the trials are independent. The difference is in one all the flips were included in the results (and the question isn't about any one specific flip), while in the other you had no information about the last flip (which the question was about).

Another way of looking at it: In the first example, the question was asking about the sum of 100 trials and you were given information about 99 of those 100 trials. You were given 99/100s of the information you need to answer the question. In the second example, the question was asking about the last trial and you were given information about 99 unrelated trials beforehand. You were given none of the information you need to answer the question.

1. Decide clearly what you want: be ready to negotiate.
2. Gather evidence.
3. Get professional counseling (usually that means lawyer up).
4. Decide what you want and DON'T WANT to do. The latter is much more inpoetant than it seems.
5. Get counseling again. Is the plan feasible? How? Refine the plan
6. Act

Hacer news is not a good counseling source: you get what you pay for.
To the contrary. Banking is scared shitless. Internet access to banking account is not a matter of if you lose money but when.

The Underworld is now multibilion dollars business and is getting better at it's trade with every day. It is relatively safe and lucrative.

Identity theft, SIM swap, SWIFT half a bilion dollars theft in Bangladesh, South Africa - Japan credit cards. Just to name a few.

Remember that money at the end of the day is based on trust. If you cannot trust that the money on your account are safe. Or if your money is not liquid because banks have to manualy verify dubious transactions then your money are loosing value.

Finance
According to the author, Bonds also carry their own risk. Individuals nearing their retirement are often advised to sell stocks gradually and accumulate bonds as they grow older. The idea is to minimize the risk that a large stock market decline will adversely affect an investor’s portfolio just when they require the money most. In the period where the bond market is influenced by numerous factors, the conventional wisdom needs to be challenged. The point is that the negative real rates of interest paid by many governments particularly in the developed world may not preserve investors’ purchasing power over a long period of time. Volatility influences retirement investors into making certain investment decisions at the wrong time.
The lesson learned is that all investments carry a particular level of risks. While Bonds issued by the governments in the developed world are backed by the full credit of these governments and thus pose no credit risk to investors, it is important to understand the risks and returns before making any investment. The longer a bond will take to mature, the higher the interest rate risk it carries. Hence, investing in bonds may not be the most viable option for those investing for the long term. When rates are expected to decline, Bond portfolio managers often increase the average duration in order to get higher returns. Similarly, they are likely to reduce average duration when they expect rates to increase so as to reduce the negative impact on returns.

Nowhere on the page they claim to be secure. See also the https://flatpak.org/faq/. they are aware that security benefits at the moment are at a minimum.

The problem is, the people who shape the web, of which some are on HN, will soon notice that people are just switching off JS to evade their tricks, and will make sure websites are unusable without it. Now the opposite is true, but some already implemented loading loading the text via JS, so you can't just read an article without turning on JS first.
well, 2 points:

- you create a throwaway account just to moan how regulations complicate life for banks - you can't stand up to your own opinions? Can't expect much respect for such a behavior

- I work in banking too, and lets be honest - banks brought all the crap coming their way themselves. Not every single one of them, not every single employee, but greed and utter ignorance was rampant, and still is present to certain extent. Moral and bonuses don't work well together.

Plenty of high ranking managers wouldn't care if the world would burn to the ground as long as they are OK (unfortunately this is valid across all businesses, you can't expect normal nice sane people up there, even if they would somehow climb up there, they wouldn't survive long in company of sociopaths).

But banking sector has terrifying power on world economy as seen in 2008, so tight oversight is necessary, like it or not.

Flatpak does not claim to be secure. This is also clearly stated in the FAQ. They provide a means of separation of applications. Sandboxing is not per se a form of security, just like this was with Docker in the 'early days'.

Hey amelius! Though OCR would provide a generic solution, it would be an overkill for text-based PDFs. I'm working on getting a OCR solution up since there's still a lot of data that is trapped inside scanned PDFs and not text-based ones.

You can turn a switch statement into a series of ? :

switch(a) {
case x:
do1();
break;
case y:
do2();
break;
default
do3();
break;
}

becomes

a == x ? do1() : a == y ? do2() : do3();

These structures can be seen in the minimized version (and a few other IOCCC winners :-).

This code likely doesn't optimize quite as well. Several cute things you can do with switch statements cannot be translated so easily.

Completely agree. Chats are a perfect way to waste time and proprietary one are a perfect way to depend on someone else for no reasons.
It is designed for average users it seems. Many users (me included) when they delete cookies or do a clear browsing data don't want to be logged out of their accounts. Usually, this meant I never cleared cookies while clearing the browsing data. (for me, it was tedious, so I changed my browser behavior to not allow cookies by default. Makes life easier. If some website can't function without cookies, I open it in guest mode)

Although rather than forcing it, maybe they should give an option to log out of google too, and/or do a fresh start. (And may be allow the users to mark which websites they dont want to be logged out of, though that kind of information with Google does not feel right.)

Maybe the consent workflow should be abstracted and standardized, and put into web browsers. Rather than everyone rolling their own workflow (most which are horrible), the browsers could offer a unified way to do this, and a central place to revoke consent.

Though it would probably take legislation to make orgs use it. The current workflows have a lot of dark patterns, despite GDPR.

I think it would make sense to plan a probe mission where the probe would be put into storage to stand by for these kind of events. It would still be a challenge and might be impossible to find a launch window and reach the passing object in time, but it would be worth trying.

That's just Arstechnica and Eric Berger.

If anything should be regulated it's ethical hacking and security research. Having a bug bounty program that is accountable to some government agency should be mandatory for every single enterprise that does some form of development and the prizes/awards should be some function of the revenue and the severity of the vulnerability.
Just that it's unusually close.
The article is absolutely correct that there are lots of good uses for protecting anonymity or pseudonmity - that's what we fought the "real names" war for, after all.

Moderation is also vital to making a space usable. Enforcing real names is not a moderation policy in and of itself - people are perfectly willing to post hate speech under their own name, including in national newspapers.

Where these intersect is that it's much easier to moderate if you can ban someone in a way that they stay banned.

Faasm – Functions as a service with WebAssembly
In India, because of lack of infrastructure, you can order food from KFC without giving your name, address or any cash up front. The delivery guy simply tries to find the location you indicated and hopes that you show up with cash. I am guessing KFC simply pushes any losses downwards onto the branches or drivers.

It's fine for India, but I don't think a lot of the business models and know-how that works in India transfers easily to conditions in the U.S.

Online community where people watch other people die
Not just the UK. Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands too.

The Netherlands had a very bad heroin epidemic in the 90's which has virtually disappeared thanks to this approach.

The two main takeaways in my opinion are: Treat heroin addiction as a health issue instead of a criminal issue and don't just give out heroin, always couple it with social services, treatment, etc.

Note that this approach mostly solves the visible issues. Encampments with heroin users are gone, along with all the trash, safety issues and health issues. The addicts are still addicts but the enormous cost to the community and the health of the users is enormously lessened.
Also, because there's nearly no business for drug dealers anymore, there are virtually no new users. Nearly all heroin users in The Netherlands are over 40 years of age.

There are clearly huge benefits to this approach. However, according to some addicts there is also a downside. Now that there's a great way to solve all the visible issues, there is less of a focus on getting the addicts clean they say.

> I am very curious why food-related startups are mostly about delivery like deliveroo and uberEats.

I assume because it's much cheaper to hire contractors than employees, and it's much easier to make delivery drivers contractors (you can deliver for lots of companies in one night) than chefs (you're not going to cook each different meal for a different restaurant in one night). So if you only provide the delivery you only need contractors for the actual service you provide.
