It's not that clear that the rich in general don't play a zero sum game.

But anyways, that's not how people build their model of fairness.

They look at their boss, making much money,often of their good work, while giving them the bare minimum he could get away with.

They look at bezos treating employees like cattle, and not paying taxes.

They look at their landlord, "killing them" with rent. And let's not talk about buying a house.

They look at rich guys, getting many women easily. While they struggle.

Should they really feel the rich don't play a zero sum game?

My possibly controversial hot-take:

While Sean's hacker spirit is truly admirable, I don't know how I feel about his lifestyle as a choice.

It is, of course, none of my business how he lives his life. If he's happy, great! Personally though, I no longer covet such nomadic lifestyles like I did back in my 20s. My main issue with them is lack of social opportunities and the inevitable loneliness it brings. I'm not a social butterfly by any means, but one thing I've learned about myself is that not having other people around me for extended periods has a noticeable negative effect on my mood. As such, living on a sailboat sounds like a total nightmare.

I have come to view solitude as a dessert: really nice to have after a regular meal, and maybe binge on every now and then even, but if it makes up the majority of your meals for extended periods, it'll make you sick.
1080 on computers right? Because needing 1080 for a phone is super silly.
The Dunning-Kruger paper is really about the value and difficulty of self evaluation, not the "stupid people don't know they are stupid" that the internet memes it about.

And this is nicely actionable. When learning a new task, it can be very valuable to consider how to evaluate success.
Cheers. (Oh Wikipedia! You led me astray!)
In this case, I'm pretty sure it means that multiple instruction addreses are hashed to the same perceptron (or is what you said effectively the same thing in ML-speak).

Since you don't have branch predictors for each address, you share the same prediction data for multiple addresses (this is one often underlooked cost to heavily branchy code).
Lightspeed-limited message (eg radio, laser): take a collective breath, agree on a response from the UN GA, then coordinate a broadcast from all possible transmitters globally. We want to show pro-social behavor and also strength in unity (even though they've seen our last hundred years via radio). Also immediately prioritize colonizing nearby systems to reduce our likelihood of extinction.

Relativistic spacecraft entering our solar system: similar to above but we won't have as much time for a response so it's better if it's planned ahead of time. Also they're certain to listen to popular reactions—maybe that's something to just acknowledge in the official message, rather than trying to make Earth go dark. Discretely inform any extra-solar colonies.

FTL message: devote all resources to reverse- engineering the technology, and send as many colony ships away as fast as possible (ideally with that FTL tech). Respond as per below.

FTL spaceship: accept our dramatically inferior position and accept their every demand—including religious conversion and slavery—so they don't annihilate us. Getting that FTL tech is a close second priority. If they begin destroying us, broadcast a wide-spectrum warning to other colonies or species.

could you expand on the whole phrase with net downside please? i don't get what you mean here.
Yea, its hard to wash out a stain like that, in general, JIT:d JVM based applications performs as good or better than AOT application, but do still need more memory.
That’s true, but somewhat misleading. Though most Debian maintainers use a VCS for packaging, it’s incidental to what actually ends up in the Debian package tree. That’s all still based off of tarballs submitted off of a developer’s machine.
I don't think that is quite right. Consider the difference between a society with extremely uneven wealth distribution, such that only a tiny percentage felt safe an comfortable. It's easy to imagine a more even wealth distribution changing that for a large percentage of people.

There is a tautological zero-sum ordering in relative wealth, but it's not clear that correlates to anything meaningful to vast majority of people.
You’re not the only one. It’s a fundamentally flawed design that should be scrapped. That people are focusing exclusively on the software is a testament to the power of PR and regulatory capture.
This is somewhat of a misunderstanding of the situation.

The 737Max was built to provide a more fuel efficient model compatible with all of the 737-sized gates and etc stuff airlines owned. They did this by slapping bigger engines on, but to make them fit they pushed them forward of the wing (can’t make the plane taller or it doesn’t fit all the etc it’s supposed to be compatible with).

Big, front positioned engines messed up the aerodynamics. Now, at speed, as a plane got closer to (but not at) the stall angle, forces suddenly inverted, and it became much easier to pitch up into a stall than push down away from it. This violated FAA rules that say for a commercial plane to be certified, at any point short of a stall it must always be harder to pull into it than push out.

Boeing decided to add some software to automatically push the nose down when you get to the force inversion point. This uses the stabilizers to add force to the stick, so the pilot always has that extra force making it easier to push out of a stall than pull into it, meeting the FAA requirement. This is MCAS.

Thus MCAS is in no way a “737NG emulator”. You could call the plane a 797 and you’d still need it to meet fundamental certification requirements about stick forces. Ie) it’s not so much mimicking an older 737 as it is just pretending to be a sanely designed commercial airframe at all.

The type certification stuff only enters into it when Boeing didn’t want to tell people about MCAS because it might have caused them to think harder about the need for more training, the lack of which was a selling point for them.
Principles of life automation: What if we could fully automate our lives?
I am of the opinion that Pascal's wager is mostly wrong because it's a false dilemma. For each diety/religion R that you're considering, simply construct a diety that will punish you for believing in R and reward you otherwise. Alternatively, construct dieties that reward you for atheism. The point is that it's not a 2x2 matrix of (Atheism, Theism) x (God is real, God is not real).
The amazing things is that this guy -- an obvious fraud and conman -- has been invited to numerous high-level Bitcoin/Blockchain conferences as a speaker.

It always stuns me how relatively few people are able to spot frauds (although it explains a lot about our current political situation). I'm guessing 40-50% of the population is susceptible to this kind of trickery.
I am not going to advocate against negotiating lower prices.

However, i should point out that one reason the NHS drug benefit (and that of mostly every country) is not completely broken and obsolete is because USA effectively subsidizes research for drugs that the rest of the world then copies
> Any HN regular should be able to study for a few hours and pass the Technician test.

This isn’t hyperbole. I got my Technician license after literally only studying for an hour (admittedly I had some prior experience, but most of what the test is just memorizing various things you should know).

Agreed, he's gone global.
Then it’s valued highly by a lot of extremely gullible people. The first time I heard about Craig Wright was that debacle where he was desperate to prove he was Satoshi, hand-waved his way through a very staged proof and then when called on it he subsequently refused to do an extremely simple proof that would’ve beyond doubt proven what he claimed (lamenting that no one would be happy with it). Everything I’ve read since then has confirmed he’s just a grifter, this article is no different.

I don't think it's so clear cut. Maybe relative poverty can only be shifted around, but if you reduce absolute poverty that seems pretty clearly positive-sum.
The worst part about the in your face RNG of Artifact is that Richard Garfield knew players don't like that type of RNG, and it was one of the main factors that killed off the Star Wars TCG he developed [1]. He decided to try it again in Artifact, and to nobody's suprise, people still don't like super visible RNG affecting the outcome.

Ask HN: Best consumer/professional “digital root of trust”
As we know, most accounts use an email address or a cell phone number as the root of trust. Some use more complicated heuristics, e.g. Google.

My question is, what service provider offers as much as possible of both:
1. Difficult to break into
2. Feasible or convenient to recover

AFICT Google accounts are great for #1 but crap for #2.
Once you've lost an account there's nothing you can do, no human you can appeal to, not even with a birth certificate, a passport and a cheek swab.

Many services are great for #2 but crap for #1 because of social engineering.

Are there any services that are decent at both?

I've never had an Apple account - how do those rate on the above? Some security gurus on here say Apple's security is top notch, at least for the iPhone. But can you go to an Apple store for account recovery if you have government issued ID? If so, how do they resist social engineering?

Other criteria:
1. What can I do if my house burns down and every physical object I own goes with it?
2. What can I do if I get hit by a bus and suffer amnesia and forget all my passwords?
3. What can I do if someone thoroughly breaks into every single account I have and resets the personal info?
4. What can I do if both 1 & 2 happen?

Obviously no service can solve all these problems but those are extreme examples to which even partial solutions could be useful.
Answering my own questions here. I looked it up, and a human eye with perfect vision can't see better than 300dpi.

So, no, unless you are an insect, you cannot tell the difference between 720p and 4K on a mobile phone. It's all just showing off for your friends.
The government not policing the deal would certainly be their fault.

It amazes me that a percentage of your percentage does so because to call out liars would be impolite and lead to discomfort.
The high end office chair companies will usually offer a try before buy deal.

The Aeron chairs by Herman Miller are popular in some re-insurance companies. I have used the Mirra 2 chair, but prefer the Aeron.

The Aeron, unless purchased used, probably won't fit in your budget, but breaking the budget on such an important item as this will probably be of value.

He's not a wacky person who says the darndest things, he's suing other people over their saying he's not Satoshi. As the article states, this case might affect a number of cases he's raised.

He's also made a new cryptocurrency (Bitcoin SV), and may be profiting off of a consultancy he helps run (https://nchain.com/en/).

I don't think he's just some random small fish.
It's an interesting mathematical result, but note that gives a solution for the problem of the spherical aberration, but real lens have also chromatic aberration. I.E. the speed of light for each color inside the glass is slightly different, so the value n (refraction index) in the equation is different, so in the equation you get a different surface for each color. In the real lens you must pick one surface, so the effect is that one color is perfectly focused and the other colors are not focused and you get some rainbow-like effects.

The solution is to use combination of a few lens of different glasses, to compensate the differences. It's not easy to design these kind of system, because they must compensante also for other types of aberrations.

Looks interesting, but I have a question: who provides the titles and who (if anyone) can edit them?

I ask because one of the top news is "Facebook launches it's own currency" (instead of "its") which I find a bit grating/unprofessional.

This, in turn, would make me question the sources.

Edit: typo
There are many similar stories. Famously Tesla's recollection of himself "inventing the inductive motor" while walking in some garden in Hungary, and the discovery of the Benzene ring.

First, I would like to challenge the assumption that Debian primarily uses SVN for packaging. We can get a rough idea from the use of Vcs-$name package metadata in the testing distribution:

</var/lib/apt/lists/*_debian_dists_testing_main_source_Sources.lz4 unlz4 |
sed -n '/^Vcs-Browser:/n;s/^Vcs-\([A-Za-z]*\): .*/\1/p' |
sort |
uniq -c

On my system this gives:

4 Arch
72 Bzr
5 Cvs
5 Darcs
24168 Git
21 Hg
21 Mtn
603 Svn

Which shows that git is the overwhelming favorite and about 40 times more popular than SVN for packages which provide VCS metadata.

The sources can be pulled directly from Debian as tarballs using [syncpackage]. Ubuntu maintainers are free to use their preferred VCS for maintaining Ubuntu-specific packaging. Using the same VCS as the Debian maintainer (or upstream developer) is often convenient, but not required.

I remember really liking his book Proofs and Types which was a revelation after struggling with Martin-Löf’s writings.

One outcome of that attention was a nice and blazingly fast for an FPL called Clean which offered a more modern Haskell/MLish syntax. Actually came across this previous discussion while searching for a link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15937597
NLP catches a lot of flak (some of it deserved perhaps) for being pseudo-scientific but it gets results and has a pretty rigorous (if nonscientific) basis.

I attended a seminar given by Dr. Bandler about fifteen years ago and volunteered for an on-stage demonstration (of hypnosis and some other techniques). I don't remember much, and my subjective sense was that I was up there for only a few moments, but I was told by a friend afterwards that it was several minutes. During that time, whatever he did, I was relieved of a severe depression that had ruined my life up to that point. Let me be clear: I had suffered from years of vicious depression that kept me from living a normal life. It went away and never came back.

It's really natural, on first mention, to refer to something using a member of the degenerate set of its most unique identifier, right? From that point on, to avoid repetition, mix in antecedents or generic names.

Brands exploit this mechanic in language so that any time a, thereto unknown, good has to be addressed, that identification become advertising. It shifts from being a unique identification of an object/item/thing to a conjuring of the ethos/identity that contextualizes that good as being different from all the others (un)like it.

I'm sure the dude was just having some hazelnut spread and that's how they recalls it but us, like them, are getting hacked. Now if you'll excuse me, the rey--, I mean tinfoil, is starting to get itchy, I need to switch it out.
Yeah. Higher cost, usage caps low enough to be worth mentioning, and mobile operators seem a lot more likely to do really weird crap to my traffic. Fix those and who needs a physical line? Until all are fixed I'll keep the fiber.
Github could simply reject commits with email addresses not added to your account. As you need to verify every email you add to your account this problem would be solved instantly.
>As a for instance, what happens if a dual flameout in flight occurs? Does the Ram Air Turbine make enough power to run the Flight Control Computer and all it's dependencies to ensure the MCAS functionality stays intact until the plane can be safely touched down?

Isn't MCAS a solution to address greater nose pitch-up due to stronger thrust vectoring effects from the new engines? In a dual engine flameout where all thrust is lost, doesn't thrust vectoring cease to be an issue?
We've reached the point where faster last-mile speeds have diminishing returns. In the past, faster transfer speeds have always been a bottleneck for emerging technologies (supporting a progression from text, to images, to audio, to video and streaming audio, streaming 4K video).

But we've saturated our sensory inputs, and now nobody really knows what to do with faster last-mile speeds. The networking companies tried pitching everyone on the idea that VR/AR would be the next big thing and require major investment in 5G. But that was hogwash, and networking speed is not what's holding back VR adoption.

> Whether we think we need it or not, why would we willingly give up the chance to capture value from the next emerging tech?

Because we have a limited amount of resources for investment? Because we can weigh the pros and cons and future potential, and allocate money towards things we actually need?
The VA had a massive scandal recently. For years, they had chronic problems with timely follow ups and treatment (ergo. Last resort). They were put on notice to improve their patient turnaround times. Miracle ensued -wait times did go down. But as always, bureaucrats played with stats: they achieved the drop by literally IGNORING veterans seeking medical service and appointments. They would simply find a reason to not log the event at all. This went on for the better part of the year when veterans started dying in greater numbers and someone blew the whistle. Claims of reform were made. No one got fired until trump got elected.yet now we start all over again.

VA is not what you want for USA
Is the government intentionally not policing it due to nefarious reasons, or do they simply not have the money and/or the expertise to police it?
They’re probably surface plates. They’re used as a flat reference for measurement.
Part of it has been the tribalism of him going against the obvious weasels that ousted the original Bitcoin team to keep the blocksize low, the transaction fees high and get VC funding for their company that they would market by saying it was the 'people that were in charge of bitcoin'

Some of the people who hated those weasels decided that Craig Wright must be great since he says he is against the same people. Instead of everyone rolling their eyes and fighting an OBVIOUS con man interested in VC funding and patents some people thought everyone calling him a con man must be on the 'other side'.

Edit: If you think something is off, use your words. I can back up everything I've said here.

You can't point fingers at the US when the pollution is so bad in your cities that you need to wear gas masks or risk lung cancer in a few years.

I think they were just railing against the notion of self-contained libraries and frameworks that are capable of being used by developers in binary form. I'm guessing a hobbyist who cares infinitely more about maximizing their own mental stimulation than about creating things and solving problems for other people on a professional basis.

Nothing wrong with pure hobbyists, it just leads to weird conversations where different people clearly value different things for unspoken reasons, then get into unusually polarized arguments about engineering practices until everyone realizes that some people are talking about fun stuff they mess around with between classes, and other people are trying to figure out how to solve an immediate problem for an employer who's already given them a bunch of money in exchange for solving problems. Those are two very different conversations.
Because you have a clean start every-time you do something. When you use a machine on a daily basis you will have lots of your own scripts, software etc that will be in your path. A lot of times issues occur between machines because your build your instructions or your build scripts whatever have something that is specific to your machine / user account whatever that someone else might not have.

If you use VM you will know that whatever the default VM is in vagrant that you tell them to use will be the same.

It isn't always necessary but tbh I am not in the habit of doing it.
Might be because valve didn't invent dota, it was a warcraft 3 custom game that they basically ported. Game design might not be in their blood.

DotA was a well established Warcraft 3 custom game with the same name before Valve copied it.
Say the top 1% increase their proportion of wealth from 20% to 40% of the money supply. Since there's only a finite amount of stuff to buy (productivity), this means the rich can also buy a proportionally bigger amount of stuff. Now, yes, this money gets in the hands of whoever is selling but in our current world this is increasingly also the rich. They're slowly buying up all real estate, companies, securities etc. capturing an ever increasing slice of economic surplus. This capture is exactly how the proportion of their wealth gets bigger and bigger, while wages are under pressure and haven't increased at all.

It's not entirely zero sum, some investments increase productivity and thus create actual wealth. Unfortunately investment in stocks and real estate don't increase productivity at all while rent-seeking only directs an ever increasing proportion of available wealth towards rich people.

You’re underestimating the story here. CSW is the creator of Bitcoin SV, which today has a market cap of $3.5 billion. A lot of people stand to lose or gain a lot of money depending on his claims.
This is a really good article. I am finally at the point in my college education where I can understand what they are talking about!

Are there any articles like this about Apple or Intel chips? I like hearing about actual implementations, not just educational processors. (I am looking through the other articles on this site.)
