Not quite. That's a bit like saying we evolved to play football or it wouldn't work. Just because we can do it doesn't mean it was a fundamental part of our evolution with a survival mechanism behind it. We evolved to be able to pick things up, but we did not evolve to lift weights in the way one does in the gym. Running, however, was our main mode of taking down prey. The animals we hunted could run faster than us, but they could not sustain it. Humans evolved to be able to sustain running for long enough that the faster prey would eventually get tired and could no longer outpace their hunters. These hunts would take DAYS in many cases. This running endurance was central to our ability to survive, and as with all survival mechanisms, using that trait was and still is hugely rewarding, releasing a flood of dopamine even in modern humans.

It's a proxy service that uses university credentials for access direct from the publisher(s)

I would assume graduate students around the world pass them to her to use and she just starts up a VPN to imitate the location of the university. That said it's not like these publishers are losing money, universities are still paying for the access like they always were. Plebs such as myself could always get a free copy of some paper by requesting a printout from the campus library just now I do it from my phone instead.
For her case that fits into the general bit where she changed her story a bunch of times. (Assuming that's the case, she alleges she never said she was there to go swimming.)

In my own case as a teen, not having a swimsuit never stopped me. I definitely never had a towel since hotels provide that, it's one of the advantages of hotels vs random people's backyard pools where they definitely knew you weren't supposed to be there. Even when questioned by hotel staff (which seldom happened) saying I was with the Smiths often passed the test if I was a guest or not. Another tactic was to take the elevator up, then down and out to the pool. Never approach the pool directly from off-property.

Mar-a-Lago would obviously be considerably harder to sneak into since the staff there knows who the members are even if the Secret Service doesn't.
In addition to avoiding personal attacks a la https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19560477, could you please not post wake-up-sheeple rants?

I have Youtube Kids on my mobile phone, the recommendation engine only recommends child-friendly videos - Blippy, one of the millions of videos where people play with toy train sets, Wiggles, etc., it hasn't yet recommended a Neonazi video (however it doesn't care for language, often recommending Spanish or Russian kids videos). It's very useful for when I need my toddler to be quiet for 10 minutes or so.
That sounds less like a lack of knowledge and interest, and more like a lack of time and care. When your boss is yelling at you to upgrade the Ferrari logo because you need to get to work on Dave's Dogfood, and you've got two hours to do it plus nobody remembers the AWS credentials for the account with permission to upload images to S3, you're going to hack some shit together and deploy it then sneak out for a coffee. Your personal levels of interest and knowledge don't come into play when faced with cost-cutting and ignorance at the purse-string level.
For anyone who hasn't studied it, I highly recommend picking up a few history books on the Mughal empire. If you've ever wondered why there's so many Farsi words in modern Urdu and Hindi, there's your answer...
My experience from working at a car company (although not in the F1 area):

This kind of work is typically outsourced, since it's not a core competency for the company. So the company would be contracting some web development agency which builds a homepage and potentially also hosts it. There are contracts and specifications in place around what needs to get built.
In the web development domain I don't think the outsourcing aspect is a big plus or minus on execution ability. There will be some good and some bad agencies around - and an internal team might not really be doing a better job.

Regarding performance: They mostly wouldn't even recognize. The work is presented with some fast connection and device, so it's not visible. And even if it would be, the people responsible for it (or even the leads of those companies or teams) are not that tech savy and will just accept it as the current state of the art.

There will be far bigger discussions around other things than performance. E.g. which images and fonts are to be used, how trademarks and the brand are represented, etc.
Yeah and they surely won't use those passwords for anything else, like the phone numbers which they promised would be used for 2FA only.
What you describe feels more like case classes.
Looking it up, you're right, and the Advanced Open Water says 30m max. I don't know if it changed or if I just misremembered. I'm pretty sure I did 40m as part of the deep diving segment of Advanced Open Water, but that might not be accurate either. It was about 10 years ago.
It does seem like a primitive system to use the wind for AoA, seems like there should be better and more reliable ways to determine it.

Update: AoA not AoT
Absolutely. I have work floating around out there and I know it's being used without permission. Not that I'd sue someone if I could, but I can't while corporations can. And while for me I could maybe make a living off my work if it were being paid for rather than stolen, for the corporation it's just more profit.

Systems fucked. The little guy should have the advantage, not the already rich one.
Part of the problem is Apple’s over reliance on super hero engineers — both hardware and software. Sure, they’re some of the best engineers in the business, but you can’t keep taking all the best super hero engineers off whatever projects they’re working on now and keep moving them around to whatever project is in most dire need of saving that can only be done by super heroes. And you can’t just wave a magic wand and instantly create more unicorn super heroes.

Instead, you have to build a culture where success comes from the good efforts of good-enough engineers that may not be quite super hero level — and then find or make more of those good-enough engineers that you can keep the business sustainable.

This is very much like the problem of being in constant fire-fighting mode and trying to keep individually battling the alligators, and not being able to focus on draining the swamp instead.
Maybe so, but it's time you stopped posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

As a leftie, I don't care that much about the right to enter into a contract (we already ban it for plenty of other stuff - e.g. you can't sell yourself into slavery).

My problem with the minimum wage is that it's essentially UBI for the working population, that is funded via a regressive tax. Min wage workers produce cheaper products and services, and thus the cost gets passed to those who buy them, rather than those who buy more luxury goods - it's basically taxing the poor to pay the poorest. We might as well just raise the income tax - which is at least progressive (and could be much more so), and cut the paychecks from that directly.

The usual objection to that is that it's subsidizing employers, who can now pay much less because the employees already get UBI. Sure, so let's tax them as well - corporate income and/or capital gains.

It probably be not too much of you had two way communication with the bus. One can leapfrog the one in front, alleviate the front bus, and everyone's faster. However it probably has limits ie when a passenger on the passing bus wants to stop at the same place as the slow bus next stop.

That's what AoA is though. It's the relative wind angle over the wing. The wind matters. You can't calculate AoA simply from pitch or vertical speed or something like that.

Individually, mostly valueless. But in aggregate, the emergent patterns are hugely valuable. Just as a litterer is fractionally culpable for worsening the earth, our data is fractionally responsible for the wealth of these companies, and for the same reason shouldn't be dismissed as worthless.
It absolutely was excessive. I had a US work phone and two international work phones because I dealt with foreign regulators who needed to be able to contact me at a "local" phone number. I'm not sure I ever managed to have all four charged at the same time.

And I learned about BYOD the hard way. I do a bit of freelance legal journalism on the side and at one point I had a Reuters email address even though I wasn't an employee and I had it set up on my personal iPhone. One day I was getting off the subway and the entire phone went blank. A complete factory reset. Reuters had accidentally wiped the personal cellphones of everyone who had set up the company email on an iPhone. I remember one guy saying he lost the video of his daughter's first footsteps. This was before companies had controls around BYOD but I will certainly never allow a company to have any access to my device again.
Compilers don't have to be slow to generate good code (at least not as slow as Rust). If you prefer them slow, you're just choosing to be ineffective like some idiotic martyr. Suffering for it's own sake is just stupid.
I am the author of this post. This post was written mostly for my students and is about a particular transition from a "single purpose" notebook where they have solved a problem on one file and trying to collaborate with me on their project.

For the situation I show as an example, you wouldn't want to bring up a dialog box every time you run the cell as in most cases you're running it many times to get things right. Even when the code is working perfectly it isn't useful to pop up a dialog during a long-running analysis.

The target audience of this post are not comfortable with running scripts from the commandline. I have tried teaching that approach and failed. This is a half-way point.
Basically it seems like the premise is that the rich generally like donating because of the publicity it generates for them (trading financial capital to social capital). However, in India there is a fear of being noticed by the 'taxman' and being asked/audited for higher taxes (it's not clear). This means the wealthy are afriad of publically donating, and hence, donate less because there's no 'social capital' to buy via the donation. At least this was my interpretation.
I've had to do a bit of functional safety stuff recently and one of the things they focus on are "common cause failures" (of which this is a perfect example - if one of the sensors freezes, the others are likely to do so as well). If you want to be sure something works, it's not enough to just have two or three copies of the same system. You have to have redundancy in manner of operation as well.
I had someone create a Facebook account with my email once. I let it persist for a year until I got tired of the friend request notices. Did a password reset and deleted the account.
If there are three of the same type (make/model?) of sensor teaming to vote on the status being measured I'm not suprised that they can suffer the same failure (iceing) at the same time causing an incorrect state to be upvoted.

I would have thought that for any condition there would be more than one mechanism available to sense it. You could get different devices to vote on what is the real condition.

This has been done for years in visual cockpits with regards to an artifical horizon. The pilot only has to look out the window (assuming visibliity) to confirm what the instrument is reporting. Of course when the pilot loses visibility and starts to rely on their inner ear for "level" bad things can happen.

Many more simple planes, especially things like gliders, have a simple ball bearing in a curved tube to indicate "down" as well as the more convential artifical horizon.

I studied financial history extensively. I wrote a paper in law school about the origins of the financial crisis and studied most economic and financial panics for 200 years. Monetary policy is rarely the most important factor. Trade policy, Fiscal policy (government spending across national, state, local and community), Regulatory incentives, technological changes whose importance is overestimated or underestimated, Social demographics, and human psychology are all way more important than monetary policy both in contributing to bubbles and fixing the crisis that follows.

Your answer itself hints at how important human psychology is. 'People do stupid stuff'. Robert Schiller won a Nobel price and said basically that.

Go look at the interest rates every year in the 90s and tell me that they causes the dot com bubble. Then ask yourself if maybe investors overestimated the possible success of many business and were willing to pay crazy multiples above earnings because the 'normal rules of business don't apply to internet firms'. When the stock was skyrocketing, psychology and greed take over as it feels like confirmation that the original thesis is correct. Bitcoin recently followed a similar dynamic. In neither case was monetary policy the major driver.
> Per the article it seems they demand email confirmation, but merely offer to access your email for you in order to accomplish that.

It's definitely a dark pattern though. And Facebook rarely seems content to only use data for the purpose they advertise when asking for it. For instance, there was an article recently that proved they were using phone numbers collected for 2FA to do ad-targeting as well.
Ah, it's turtles all the way down.

This is a good reminder as to why Ruby is often called "the bad parts of Perl." I really appreciate other programming language ecosystems (almost any modern ones besides Ruby) that have abandoned things like this as bad practice, while Ruby continues to double down on it.

https://www.axios.com/facebook-will-stop-asking-new-users-fo...

Facebook told Axios that "a very small group of people have the option of entering their email password to verify their account when they sign up for Facebook," but noted that people could choose instead to confirm their account with a code or link sent to their phone or email.

"That said, we understand the password verification option isn't the best way to go about this, so we are going to stop offering it,” the company said in a statement.

Those being asked for their e-mail passwords were users who listed an e-mail address that doesn't use the secure OAuth protocol, which allows users to verify their identity to a third party without sharing their passwords.
Not much. Half of USDS sits in the Office of Management and Budget, and that team wasn't affected. About half of USDS is hired directly into agencies like DoD, VA, CMS, and DHS. The DHS team was affected by the shutdown. But even then, the DHS folks received backpay after they came back.
I've heard this referred to as the "no free lunch" principle, and it's a good tool to apply to any claims about a new way to improve human performance.
Triple-redundancy isn't 100% foolproof, but it is a lot better than two potentially-faulty sensors.

I know this isn't a great example, but triple redundancy is enough of a design cornerstone that Arthur C. Clarke made it one of the defining features of Rendezvous With Rama, a classic sci-fi story about an Oumuamua-like object that people manage to land on:

>It was now strikingly apparent that the "city", like so much of Rama, was triplicated. It consisted of three identical, circular complexes or superstructures, rising from a long, oval foundation. Photographs taken from the hub had also indicated that each complex was itself divided into three equal components, like a pie sliced into 120-degree portions. This would greatly simplify the task of exploration; presumably they had to examine only one-ninth of [the city] to see the whole of it.

It doesn't exactly sound like a new or controversial idea, you know?
Why is it okay when they're hired using a subcontractor company?

Is it investors being stupid (unlikely?)

Is subcontractor headcount/cost not public information?

Are contractors actually good?

Are contractors instead of employees good for google, but detrimental to society as whole? (something investors aren't known to care about, so it makes sense).

Some other possibility I haven't considered?

I am a huge fan of this approach and use it extensively in my own code. This natural commandline interaction is completely alien to my students.

The irony (and borderline hypocrisy) of a "privacy advocate" who have a Global Entry card.
OpenGenera on Alpha runs amazingly faster than any of the real iron Symbolics hardware, including the NuBus MacIvories that got embedded in old Macs like the Quadra. You can also put plenty of memory and disk into one of these often server-grade machines. The negative? You don’t get to use the amazing Symbolics keyboards. You have to deal with Tru64 UNIX. You have to run everything through X.

AFAIK, the unofficial x86 port of OpenGenera is an emulator for Alpha which emulates the Lisp machine, and all together it’s still much faster.

I had the pleasure of figuring out how to get X keyboard codes from a Linux box into the emulated Genera. What a pain! As far as I know, the “world building” code has been lost so it’s not even possible to bootstrap a Genera system from scratch. (You can dump worlds from memory of an existing Genera system though.) I think this limitation made it difficult to change some hard coded constants, like the size of the communication buffer which was essentially shared memory between the running Genera system and the host operating system.

I wish this software could be preserved properly, instead of sitting under a rain cloud of uncertain legal standing. I don’t remember exactly how the story goes, but Symbolics software fell into the hands of Andrew Topping, who died, and whose estate went to John Mallery (at one time famous for writing a Lisp HTTP web server than ran the White House website), and he had held onto the IP rights since, with no indication of selling or releasing it.

(Common Lisp historians / Symbolics enthusiasts, please correct any errors I’ve made. :))
How about we turn them into houses or furniture. Timber used in construction can last for a very long time, all the while keeping it's carbon locked up.

Even when it finally decomposes through rot or consumption a lot of the carbon is kept out of the atmosphere, ending up in the food chain fed by the organisms that consume it.
