Not always possible for various reasons.

That's where you might not be so right. I've got three friends (gamers, but not developers) who moved to Windows a year ago and they're still happily using it. We occasionally go to Windows to play some games, but I wouldn't be surprised if MS are annoying more and more people who only need a weak excuse to move away from Windows.

It might make them short term money, but eventually people will do something about it. A lot of people aren't as stupid as the HN crowd sometimes makes them out to be.
Most MLM's tout a flexible working schedule which women tend to prefer due to being saddled with a higher average proportion of the child-rearing and elder-care responsibilities.
I'm not defending multilevel marketing pyramid schemes but if you are signing up for one, you are not an employee. You do pay to run certain types of companies (franchises). But if the franchise isn't supporting you then you are being scammed.

Indeed, I'm not even mad when I have to interrupt my commute to let a plane land or take off. Fun to watch every time.
So, to summarize: the article criticizes researchers who focus only on worst-case complexity. While the theory is beautiful, we can point to many problems for which it does not accurately predict performance.

I still don't get it, because it's okay for some people to be working on purely theoretical problems, motivated by mathematical curiosity and aesthetics. Is there a lack of people working on more concrete problems, bridging the gap between theory and practice? Are there outstanding problems arising from practice that are ignored because supposed "applied" researchers don't actually care about applications?

I think this criticism is a little strange, because most complexity theorists also work on "average-case" complexity

That sounds almost as theoretical as worst case to me. I would expect "applied" complexity theory to provide a theoretical framework for how a practitioner can add information that they know about how their problem differs from the aesthetically ideal problems that arise in theory. Like, my factory floor is not a frictionless plane, aha, here's how you measure a "coefficient of friction," and here's a new equation where you can see how the coefficient of friction affects the results. Or, my dataset isn't a uniformly random blob of bits, so is there a statistical property I can measure that lets me estimate the probability of the working memory of my algorithm exceeding 2.4 times the size of the input size?
hmm, still seems like odd usage.

given that in the end the query goes for specific time window, wouldn't "regular" sql work fine (vs event processing) ?
I am aware of this problem (getambassador.io dev as well as infra engineer). The differences usually manifest at the edges rather than the internals right now. This has the potential to be even more disruptive problem.

I've never once experienced focus stealing during Windows 10 updates. They don't give you any indication that they're occurring in Home, Pro, or Enterprise.
When your business is built on buying product in large quantities with unknown SKUs. And most of the product you buy is unsellable. It’s laughable to compare to a normal company which buys what they sell, and the specific patterns, sizes etc.
Yes, but it's likely because MLMs are more often marketed to them. The general pitch for these types of companies, as mentioned in the article, is "work from home selling <product> to your friends online so you can spend more time with your family".

This is like saying children are more likely to waste their money on toys, or young men are more likely to fall for military recruitment propaganda. It's "true", but it's got some weird correlation/causation misunderstanding.
Just because you believe something doesn't make it a fact.

"Global warming" would be better named "wilder temperature swings" (which is why we hear the phrase "global climate change"). Larger temperature swings (colder winters, hotter summers, no real spring or fall seasons) are not good for growing crops.
Not the way we normally think of negotiation, I don't think? Like: you don't use fallback patterns to switch ciphersuites.

Another way to think about it, and maybe I'm misapprehending something about Noise, is that whatever you're falling back "to" in a handshake is also a documented part of the same protocol. The fallback patterns would presumably (all things being equal) "survive" a versioning of the whole protocol.
Have you considered switching to lynx?
It’s more that they are targeted at people who are stable who want to bring some money in on the side without have a normal job. It’s even more rampant in transient families (military) when the employeed person gets orders to move somewhere else. If they had a traditional job, they would have to quit and find a new one.
I don't like how people have a fixed capacity for discontent. Everything is so amazing and yet people get really upset over the smallest things but are not willing to do anything to mitigate the effects they don't like. Okay it's too much to ask to just apply updates when they come. It's too much to ask to set a time when these reboots could happen. It's too much to ask to just press CTRL+S every once in a while. I wonder what will be too much to ask next ...

Btw it's not hard to see that MS is working on making windows better even if it's hit and miss at the moment. Forcing reboots /is/ exactly that progress when it comes to windows security and I think it's quite unfair to not acknowledge the history that led to this.
I'm not convinced franchises aren't far off from pyramid schemes and MLM as well.

> what promotes long-term GDP growth more, bank fees or massive electricity use?

Assuming they have the same cost, bank fees promote more GDP growth, hands down, at any time horizon.

Money simply changing hands will always beat money changing hands with added useless usage of resources and labor.

And that's not even considering the reality, that average electricity costs of a BTC transaction are orders of magnitude expensive than the average bank fees on money transactions.
from the consumer point of view i like to ask does this thing solve a problem or create an opportunity? Does it remove any salient negatives and will it make me happier? Usually the answer to all of these is "no"!
I've used this for a project and works pretty well. What's pretty incredible is that it was actually made a hackathon in Singapore.
My main gripe I had this the debugging errors is very difficult if they happen in the graphics portion. Sometimes you will have to switch in the CPU mode which works differently the GPU mode, which means the results can be different for unknown reasons. Another annoyance (and this is more to do with web standards than anything) is that because a Canvas data is represented as RGBA in a single array any conversions to matrix form are very slow because any dimension past a certain size fails in GPU.js.
Not specifically about LuLaRoe, but The Dream[1] is an excellent podcast series about MLM’s, why people get sucked into them and why they’re not illegal (even though they probably should be).

Maybe women are more prone to publicly-facing pyramid schemes (like this or Herbalife) while men are more prone to economical pyramid schemes like Bitcoin? I really couldn't say.
Gotcha. Yeah, I would much rather use a managed k8s service over deploying and maintaining my own. GCP's GKE has been great for us so far and very reasonably priced.
Then it should ask for network access the first time and remember what you said.

I didn't even know it had a currency converter.

> No, what I'm saying is that I want my web browser to have a light footprint.

but that's not what you said (I'm not trying to be antagonistic) - you called using a specific part of the browser an anti-pattern and poorly designed.

> The browser from 10 years ago works perfectly fine: it rendered and displayed text and images and didn't require hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes of disk space.

and alternately, the ed editor also works perfectly fine: it edited files, and is 57k (likely more than it needs to be). but for some reason most people don't use it very often, instead opting for vim, emacs, atom, or even eclipse.

needing new things isn't an anti-pattern, it's simply the growth of the environment.
In fairness, waiting for carriers to get sunk to generate some empirical data might not be the best route. Everything kind of has to be sorted out in simulation to get the best chance of success
Yeah that HSTS issue is ridiculous, although to be fair the spec requires browsers to give users "no recourse" to bypass the error. I'm also still annoyed by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85601

This is an extremely short-sighted view of the web. There are many advantages to web apps vs native, the biggest of which is that I can access the same app with the same configuration from (hypothetically) any browser on any device. It is also (generally) easier to develop a web app than a native app, all else being equal.

Personally, there are plenty of services I would never use if they required me to install a native app.
They're similar, but I think the main difference is franchises aren't multi-leveled — they traditionally only have a single level between franchisor and franchisee.
That would automatically look like 2026-02-19 to me. It's an odd order TBH, though I'll admit that DD-MMM-YYYY would be unambiguous.
Given which, i wonder what the root of "paneer" is in Proto-Indo-European, as it doesn't seem very similar to "cheese". I looked it up, and didn't find a good answer. I did find a few other things, though.

Apparently "cheese"/"Käse"/etc is from a word something like "kwat", meaning "to turn sour". I would guess that Russian "kvass" is from the same root, BICBW.

Russian and other Slavonic languages have "syr", from a Proto-Indo-European word cognate with "sour". I have no idea what the difference between syr-sour and kwat-sour is.

The romance "fromage"/"formaggio" is from a root meaning "formed", because southern European cheeses are made in moulds or something (except in Spain and Portugal!). I always assumed this was connected with the fact that southern European cheeses are more likely to be soft than in northern Europe, but that's conjecture. If so, the etymology tells you that soft, formed cheeses came after hard cheeses, and largely displaced them.

Anyway there's more here:

I mean sure, there's always the always the possibility that a majority of miners ally together, forfeit millions of dollars of mining rewards, and likely cause all of their cryptocurrency holdings to plummet in value, all in order to double-spend a few of their own transactions. But if we're going to worry about the possibility of everyone involved becoming irrational, then I'm going to worry about the more realistic scenario of my bank doing something surprising with my money and causing me to go through legal hell, especially if my lawyer and the judge decide to be irrational too since we're comparing against a case of whole groups of people acting irrationally.

It's also worth mentioning that Bitcoin and Ethereum have never had a 51% double-spend attack. People do occasionally go through legal hell related to their bank/paypal/whatever accounts, or have problems sending money through their bank to who they want to send it to.
Can anyone explain to the ignorant among us (i.e. me) why converting to heat is so much more efficient than converting to electricity? The article makes the claim but doesn't back it up. What are the losses involved with each approach?

On the first read, I didn't understand the article. On a second read, I feel that they have a good point. However, let's not miss the forest for the trees: "higher than we think" doesn't mean wage growth is high enough for a healthy, prospering middle class-- especially in an era where housing, education, and health care continually exceed inflation, coupled with the fact that most workers get a 1-2% raise (if any) per year.
There's no need for anyone to read her book, because it's just a pile of garbage written by someone who doesn't have a clue about modern physics. Hossenfelder is an armchair physicist who failed in her discipline and started writing books for profit. The very idea of naturalness is basically the thing people hope the machines will someday do - namely think and be able to explain what is actually going on through fleshing out noise from the essential mechanisms.

The stuff she writes on her blog are so stupid it's beyond belief. First she criticizes theorists (who write far more reasonable and far less philosophical articles than she) for using advanced mathematics and exploring various possibilities, a minute later she criticizes experimenters for trying to build a better particle collider. She's a person who would gladly see the resources flowing to the less skilled wannabe-physicists with no real knowledge, because she's one of them.

Both works but perhaps using TCP port 30001 makes more sense in the context of a serious project:

1. Simpler to upgrade to a distributed setup.

2. Format is stable but with enough pre-parsed information, like the coordinates which are hard to extract.

3. The process doing the data collection can avoid to die together with dump1090 in case of crashes or USB errors. You just need a script to restart dump1090, and the ability to reconnect in the other side.

However I don't remember exactly how the SBS1 port data are ready-to-use exactly, and if there is too much work to do compared to just parsing the raw text output of the program.
Another great resource to learn about MLMs is Reddit's r/antiMLM. Judging from its activity, it looks like people are getting really fed up with these companies.

I've heard several times that electrical heaters of any kind are expensive and much less efficient than other heat sources and I feel like I am throwing money out of the window when I turn them on.

This doesn't make any sense to me though. Can someone with a better understanding of physics than me explain to me why this would be the case? I would imagine electricity to be just about the most efficient way to transfer energy. And furthermore, as I understand it, lost energy tends to become heat!
Oh, no, I meant that the other way around. As in, "what promotes GDP growth more—companies and individuals having more money from a [lack of] bank fees, or power grids having more spare capacity from a lack of miners consuming electricity"?
Number 2 really hits the nail on the head. I don't get annoyed when Steam updates and wants to restart. I don't get annoyed when Firefox updates and wants to restart. I don't get annoyed when I have to (rarely) restart my linux machines. Why? Because I have a fairly large degree of certainty that the updates for these are either going to be beneifial for me, or at worst won't screw me over. For Windows, which has done nothing but show disdain towards it's own users, seeing an update causes me nothing but fustration and anxiety (the same goes for Nvidia drivers too).

Also, add the fact that nearly all of these install their updates in the background, and that their restart is actually just a standard restart that will take no longer than a usual cold boot helps a lot, when compared to Microsofts "applying updates screen" where you never know if you're going to be there 5 minutes or over an hour. It's just a terrible situation every time it occurs when others have shown that it really doesn't need to be.

I did understand your point, and I could have been clearer by using the word "bill" rather than "cost". Obviously there was cost. In New Zealand cost is not something that a person suffering sudden trauma has to worry about. I am glad you agree this is a good model.

I have another story that is cancer related. Four years ago I had cancer surgery, in the private system. The public system judged that I could wait a month or two (our system isn't perfect), but I was fortunate to have health insurance and elected to be treated immediately. After a few days at home I awoke in the most excrutiating pain imaginable. I was just able to stagger to the phone to call for an ambulance. I would judge it was less than five minutes before I heard the wonderful siren of an approaching ambulance with well trained paramedics and their lovely lovely morphine. It turned out I had a relatively rare complication, a urinoma, my resectioned kidney was leaking urine into my abdomen. Ambulance care (google "Wellington Free Ambulance" it's a wonderful thing), ER assessment, CT scan, stent insertion to help the kidney heal, five days in hospital. Total cost: Who knows, probably astronomical. Total bill: zero dollars.

I love capitalism, I'm a true believer. But I believe even more in a compassionate society and it seems to me that means not using capitalism as a solution to all problems. It makes total sense to have a model that relieves victims of sudden medical trauma from financial stress and spreads the cost across society. The victims are not well placed to play the role of rational economic actors.
It makes sense that US wage is growing if you look at the macroeconomic environment. Money is flowing into US at an unprecedented rate due to:

a.) Fed raising interest rates to a normal level. Government bonds are now earning close to some of the faster developing countries, without the risks.

b.) Brexit impacting the growth of EU. Germany narrowly avoids recession....for now. But grew only 1.5% in 2018. There's still the matter of a possible US tariff on EU automobiles. And Italy/Greece/Spain debts are still a thing.

c.) Chinese economy is crumbling. GM dropped crashed 15% in China in 2018. Ford dropped 36%. iPhone sales dropped 13%. Louis Vuitton dropped 20%. Overall car sales dropped 13%. Stock market dropped 22%. Real estate sales in January 2019 dropped 44%.

d.) Asian countries impacted by China's fall. South Korea's export to China dropped 14% in 2018. Japan dropped 8%. Taiwan dropped 10%. Singapore dropped 8%.

e.) Uncertainties and high debt ratio in developing countries, prompting money to seek safe harbor. Tariff and protectionism impacts.

f.) lastly, US is growing at a healthy 3% in 2018
We could say the exact same thing about corporations, too, that you said about objects, geographic features, and animals.

The reason it makes sense to treat those things as if they were a natural person under the law is because it allows for natural people to group their common interest into a single legal entity that is separate from any individual member.

So, take the lake eerie thing. Sure, you could write a law to protect the lake that focuses on natural people and corporations, but if something happens, say an oil spill or algae bloom, then each individual who thinks they are be affected by it would be bringing suit. in the case of a lake oil spill that's possibly hundreds of separate lawsuits for the exact same incident.

Or, the lake could be granted juridical personhood and the law making the same protections could be written based on that personhood. If the same theoretical oil spill or algae bloom happened, there'd only be a single case instead of quite possibly millions.

And that doesn't even begin to affect issues of standing and actual harm. If I'm some poor schmuck getting water from downstream of Lake Eerie and there's an algae bloom or oil spill, it's going to have to be massive for me to be able to prove i've actually been harmed by the spill and that the harm is enough to justify the costs of hiring a lawyer. Otherwise whoever caused the spill is going to either get the case dismissed because i can't prove i was actually harmed because of their spill, or they're going to argue that my actual harm is something like 86 cents because that's how much extra it costs for water filtration, so even with treble damages I'm entitled to less than the price of a large drip coffee.

And even if you think, well, individuals shouldn't be bringing any sort of suit for something like that, it should instead be via the government, the government itself is just another instance of a non-natural person.
One thing to keep in mind is that Barry the Box Schlepper might have chosen that career. There are plenty of people who decide they want to do something different. Heck, YOU might talk to Barry, learn how much he enjoys his work, and decide what sounds way better than mucking with beakers & Bunsen burners. While that path is not for me (today), I can see the appeal of doing predictable, physical work during the day & having a lots of unspent creative energy on nights & weekends.
