I’m not overly bothered about this. Their access vectors are more likely to get noticed in bulk and patched so the entire idea is self defeating in the long run. Which is beneficial for all of us.

Excellent reply.

Intel has created a situation for themselves where they seem to have forgotten how to care about the purpose of innovation.
eBay's rating system for buyers/sellers

There is no meaningful rating system for buyers anymore given that you can't leave any buyer negative or even neutral feedback... even if they never pay.

You don't need to survive Mad Max style for decades, you just need to make it a month or two until roads are open and power is back on. In this case having a stash of antibiotics could mean the difference between life and death for someone that's injured, and as the article points out there's no real good reason to grow your own when you can buy serviceable alternatives online.

Hearing how much commotion news from semiconductor industry been making recently in the mainstream media, it seems that people have only began to realise it now that semiconductor manufacturing is the "water tap of of modern civilisation" - not facebooks, amazons, googles, or other dotcoms.
Discovering the fake perfected Instagram version of her daughter.

Maybe she couldn't deal with the not-so-perfect normal life daughter, and that is why said daughter shut her out.

Maybe not - but after "ruining" the Led Zeppelin song for he daughter, now she went after the one other thing that seems to make her daughter happy, which is Instagram. What if that article now gives her daughter unwanted fame and ruins that part of her life, too? Maybe it is still about control, not participating in someone's life?

Kasparov was the first player to significantly profit from computer chess, selling many many chess computers I fantasised about owning as a child. He has always profited by playing and talking abut computers, often in ways that baffled those in the field:

Well, I don't know about Iran, but I can tell you that a lot of jobs in developing countries will come with a driver - or two. It's just considered a necessary part of the "package". Bear in mind that in the places I've seen it, mainly in Indonesia, the cost of the driver is not high - maybe $200-300/month. The expat usually doesn't have a local driver's license, so it's sort of a no-brainer, not the luxury you might be assuming...
I still use i.reddit.com on mobile. Pretty fast, pretty good UX, and functionality wise has most of the non-power user features one needs. No ads either. I’ve tried to switch over the years to various apps as they’ve come up but in the end have always preferred the minimalist text with small thumbnails that runs quick on any browser.

That stood out to me too. It’s obviously untrue. There are many reasons people do things they would rather not: necessity, obligation, habit, addiction, switching costs, network effects, and more.

Furthermore, just because people like something, it doesn’t follow that it’s good for them or for society at large. Or that they couldn’t get the thing they like without it being hitched to a lot of things they don’t like.

Facebook’s “crisis” has nothing to do with whether people like the service or not. It’s that more people are realizing that it’s not worth the cost.
On the other hand, in more wealthy circles, anything with logos would be considered undesirable

I was in a Louis Vuitton flagship store recently and noticed that, roughly speaking, the cheaper the bags the bigger the logo. Their _really_ expensive suitcases only and a tiny LV monogram stamped into the leather on a couple of spots.

Thanks for sharing this link. Great stuff.
I have been a passive user on Quora for a while now. At one point several years ago it forced me to sign up for reading an answer. This sucked.

However, I started receiving weekly digests, which included interesting questions and answers. I enjoy reading those digests and learned a bunch, professionally and personally from life experiences from other people. I never interacted until this year. It's good Sunday afternoon reading material for me.

Since I started answering questions this year (I became a top writer in certain topics), I've seen the other side too. I usually do not answer questions for pleasure only. I sometimes plug my business at the end of the answer but always make sure I answer the question and add value. I usually spend 1-2 hours on a question and I make Quora specific graphics to support my answer. Sometimes I do need to do extra research so this is where the 1-2 hours come from. I can see not everyone can spend this amount of time if it's not your business. The way I see it, people don't mind if you plug in your business if you provide value first.

Generally I'm a bit more positive than the average commenters here, as I received invaluable knowledge which changed and also solidified some of my own views. I've never compared Quora with SE, probably due to my use-case as to soak up experiences from other people instead of a source as factual information.

The value Quora provides for each individual depends on the selected topics when signing up and what you click-through in your digests. Somehow I ended up with interesting life experiences topics and never technical topics. I like airplanes but no aviation expert, but somehow I ended up receiving experiences from travellers, pilots, and crew. I find those experiences amusing to read.

I suggest to try to read and follow some of the niche topics outside programming, I think that's a better use-case for Quora.
> There are an infinite number of functions that can create a particular bit sequence, and each bit sequence can be mapped to a single string, so there must be more functions than strings.

I don't think this logic works. For example, there are an infinite number of "rational numbers" of the form np/p where n, p ∈ ℤ, and each of these can be mapped to a single integer (namely, n). But there are not more these "rational numbers" than integers.
The key quote here being: "[...] Lactobacillus-secreted soluble factors contributed to [...]compromised gut mucosal recovery, highlighting a need of developing aFMT or personalized probiotic approaches achieving mucosal protection without compromising microbiome recolonization in the antibiotics-perturbed host."

They tested only multi-strain probiotics vs "aFMT" (fecal transplant). That is a far cry from saying "probiotics don't work".
Or you could describe the quarter circle exactly using a rational spline.

There's a map theme in the settings that gives you approximate location in the background. The actual location is hidden away behind the questions (at least on desktop).
He's trying to do at least one example of each type of required task with tools that would have been available at the time. Most of the gears were actually cut with a gear cutter (consisting of an electronic indexer on the headstock of a mini lathe and some Sherline lathe parts mounted on the mini lathe's cross slide, using a homemade 60° D-bit). That has included making (and using) a pump drill with various flywheels he's made from bronze he alloyed and cast himself, making drill bits and files from iron, which were then case-hardened (because steel, as such, wasn't a thing back then), along with various other plausible tools. The only place he hasn't gone is making a lathe, for which there is ample documentary evidence (by the standards of "ample" in documents from antiquity).

> A guy who lands rocket boosters for reuse has certainly thought through the details of an underground transportation system.

Landing rocket boosters is about a thousand times easier than underground transportation.

Reusable booster tech has existed since the 1960's. It wasn't developed further for two reasons:

a) It's massively wasteful because you have to carry the fuel for the return trip.

b) The boosters need to be refurbished afterwards anyways, which is actually more expensive than building a new rocket. (More ways to screw up and less leeway for economies of scale and standardization.)

As far as I know, Musk hasn't solved these problems and isn't even planning to.
Halting harmlessly is the opposite of "producing a lot more energy".
Given that many many many devices are not patched despite known vulnerabilities, I'd not be overly optimistic about this. Vendors do not provide patches for devices, Vendors go out of business, Users don't patch even when patches are available. This affects everything, routers, phones, IP cameras, you name it.

I'd rather expect that the access vectors get noticed and applied by criminals en masse.

This might sound odd, but there is some real health benefits in perceiving oneself as having high social status. A few of those are better immune system, successful aging, lower stress hormones, lower risk for illness and depression, faster recovery, and just general higher energy and confidence. It can have a very strong positive effect on ones social network. It is a very powerful and deeply biological aspect of life.

Looking at research and listening to experts in this fields, it is really fascinating how anything can be made into a value system for social status. Not only that but we can participate simultaneously in multiple social circles with completely different value systems, and as one researcher put it, we tend to channel most of our self worth based on the system where we are ranked highest.

Strangely, money seems like one of the hardest method but also one of the most effective method to achieve this.
Jira encourages this kind of trust problem by framing the world in terms of ticket-closing velocity.
The blockchain = internet is a grand claim but so is the assumption of little utility. People forget how horribly inefficient and unethical current economic tools are. Crypto-plebs seem to completely undervalue blockchains ethical potential. Both the pro- and anti- proponents are moving sideways throwing the same memes back and forth at each other. Maybe engineers will eventually focus on the stateless ethical proposition again someday, maybe they never will and stagnation will become the constant.

They are competitors - for your eyeballs. Just because they don't provide precisely the same service doesn't make them non-competitors.

Youtube competes with Netflix the same way your shower length preference competes with Netflix. The disconcerting (if not narcissistic) elephant in the room being that service providers are viewing any activities that cause you to spend time away from their service as "competition" at all.
Still, imagine if he got a Netflix deal(how awesome would that be), the production value would go up

Yes, there is an actual ethical crisis at Facebook. How it affects their bottom line or number of users is irrelevant.
Captain Disillusion is nowhere near the quality of a Netflix show. I love the guy and support him on Patreon, but at the end of the day, it’s a garage version of myth busters. It still has that “youtuby” feel of a guy doing a thing in his spare time.

The budget is incredibly low; look at his Patreon. Compare this to the millions of dollars that go into a film considered “low budget”.

If CD is YouTube’s high quality content, then that is exactly the point GP was making.

"Capture the larger user story". Why should I disintegrate information among many Jira task names and descriptions instead of writing readable and organized high-quality documents?

Yeah sure, on that scale everyone is a hypocrite. But unless you want everyone who champions for climate-friendly living to live as a literal hermit in a cave, there is a trade-off. After all, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. We can try to minimize our impact, but the burden is not on the individual, it is on industry.

I do try to keep a low personal climate profile, but there is only so much each individual can do, while still being able to sustain a living under the current system.

Industry has been given a free pass for far too long, their pollution has been grandfathered in and even considered a necessary evil in the name of Holy Profit. But we are no longer so ignorant to their deleterious effect on our climate and (to put a point on it) the continued existence of humanity on this planet.

Corporations could have shaped up and improved their environmental profiles decades and decades ago, when climate scientists first started pointing out the problems. But their didn't, because it was more profitable to continue poisoning the environment and clear cutting the rainforests.
It's like those progress bars that go smoothly to 99% then get stuck there.

> Here's an example when the function fails to terminate:

I figured this seemed too good to be true. In fact, isn't there a simple reduction to the halting problem? Make a "sequence"

i -> M halts in i steps

for an arbitrary Turing Machine `M`. You can implement the "bit lookups" by simulating `M`. The author says their Swift code can run `anySatisfy` on this "sequence" in finite time, right?

EDIT: quoted at the top, but afaict not mentioned later, the article says,

>> It is well known that it is impossible to define equality between arbitrary functions. However, there is a large class of functions for which we can determine equality

It would have been nice if the author had been explicit about the class of functions for which their program terminates.

> Our experience can directly impact our other organs. Why else would your heart rate increase in fearful situations?

Yes. The question is how lasting and impactful that effect is in normal people suffering only normal life events, not continous abuse.

Your body can get back to normal just a year after quitting smoking. How lasting can be effect of spikes of pressure, pulse and homones many years after they happen?.

> Seems like he was suggesting that old traumas led to maladaptive behaviours which led to ailments.

That's reasonable but this means trauma no longer matters after all the years because it's the maladaptive behaviour that actually does the harm and it might be possible to stop behaviour and the harm without revisiting the trauma or lay the trauma to rest without correcting the behaviour and removing the harm.
Please don't post to HN like you did here and elsewhere in this thread.

I've noticed that search results in the closest thing I have to a field (linguistics) are usually not very good unless I already know exactly what I'm looking for. If I search for information on some language, unless it's very well-known, I get Wikipedia, Wikipedia mirrors, fake dictionaries and other automatically generated useless SEO garbage, Google Books OCR errors, and so on - if there's anything useful, it's on the seventh or eighth page.

I'm not optimistic about general-purpose search engines, TBH. As the userbase of a search engine increases, so does the incentive to game it with SEO garbage - and preventing SEO garbage feels isomorphic security, except you can't even hold out hope for formal verification.

Linguistics has people who compile lists of resources, and there's enough of a community that if I'm trying to find something, I can ask around and someone might know. Google is sometimes useful, but it's a hell of a slog to get anything out of it, and that's with years of experience in what long lists of keywords to type in to cut through some of the crap.
Sure, but the key point is that the access vectors will get noticed, and publicized. And people who pay attention and care (including many criminals) will protect themselves.
Sometimes they do. Sometimes, however, they work in the opposite way - a person who would otherwise be able to get in Dubai without a visa, should probably not even attempt to do so if he has an israeli citizenship. Same for Ukraine and male russian citizens, and probably other interesting points around the globe as well.
Eh, how does that make it OK in any way?

Tens of kHz is higher than our "normal" temporal resolution. I see crafted experiments push the critical flicker fusion rate up to almost 1KHz. You are still order of magnitude off. You should blind test that number.

That being said, obviously the fact we probably can't see 10KHz flicker, does not imply it has no effect on our well being.
I've noticed this on multiple occasions but why do people often create new accounts just to spread propaganda regarding compensation at Google? Is this a recruiting strategy executed by paid schills?

The fuel tax was only a very small part of why the protests started.

The biggest reason was the tax cuts (which will not pay for themselves, that's nonsense like all trickle-down theory) and the complete slashing of public transit and transportation alternatives for people outside of Paris, Marseille etc.

Thanks to tax cuts and reforms, the people living in small towns and rural areas have literally no alternative, they have to use a car. So by trying to greenwash corrupt policies with a at-the-pump fuel tax, the French government would in effect be forcing a highly regressive tax on ordinary people, who are already struggling to make ends meet, while completely neglecting to deal with the highly polluting fossil fuel and transportation businesses.
The reason I enjoy making money is because I think of it as creating value for others. For some reason, I just enjoy creating value for others.

I have the feeling this thread will be interesting to read in 20 years. Not in the same we read Krugman's 1998 [paraphrase] "the internet is dumb" statement but instead from a post-truth post-hypernormalization world were capital and code are closely entwined. You can already partially see in this thread a technical community that would like to, but can not quite, separate their personal bottom line from some pseudo-scientific idea of right/wrong. I would guess 20 years from now that falsehood will have faded and this thread will look interestingly passé.

When you have an injection from A to B, you only know that B is at least as equinumerous as A. Maybe their cardinality is the same, and maybe the cardinality of B is strictly bigger.

For your example, we can construct an injection from rational numbers to integers, as well as an injection from integers to rational numbers. Therefore, by the Schröder–Bernstein theorem they are equinumerous.
What is the typical use case of these numbers?
