Wouldn't taking away the US's power just result in China (a dictatorship with organ harvesting concentration camps) accumulating more power?

I hate to say this, but I believe that petty crime has to be accepted as a cost of a truly free society.

Any security professional asserting this doesn't know whereof they speak. There are entire product categories of MITM devices ("TLS inspection") for sale. Another poster mentions nation states doing this openly.

Buy aside from many corporations and some nations states, nobody is doing this, full stop.
I'll look into that! I'm no machine learning expert, but I'll certainly be digging into it more as the project progresses.

edit: so after a quick search for "what is smoothing in machine learning", I think I'm doing something similar, though basic, already. Basically each value in the matrix is a tuple of (completions + j, skips + k), where j and k are constants. e.g. "In listening sessions where A was completed, B was completed 3 times and skipped 4 times." But if j and k are 2, then the effective values would be (5, 6). I got this idea from my bayesian textbook.
I'm guessing it's mainly about time zone management - working remotely in different timezones is a lot more difficult when they vary significantly. There's also the issue of "right to work" in your country to consider.
It doesn't actually keep going to a tetris game :). The final project is to build an OS that you could run tetris on if you were so inclined.

Cool course, but I bailed at the compiler stage because it feels like you hit diminishing returns for the work you need to put in (lots of tedious regex and text processing work for relatively little learning).
yeah not because they made a more important product but because people aren't buying the iphones like they used to
>But what to say about Americans, who squandered natural resources

Yeah, they squandered their natural resources on the way to becoming the richest, most powerful nation in the history of the planet...

How can people say things like this with a straight face? The fact that there are some tough political issues that have or may span a couple decades doesn't erase centuries of history, or millennia of future prospects.
thank you! I've been looking for something like this too.

Logarithms. How to think about them, especially in programming interviews
So whoever discovers something automatically owns it? What if I discover an oil field that continues under someone else's land - is it mine because I discovered it? Do I get to take all the oil as long as the extraction equipment is only on my land? If my extraction activities lower the value of their land, do I owe them damages?

My point is not to actually get into these details but to point out that capitalism does not give the answers. Capitalism can only start after you have nailed down the rules about how public and private property work.
Money can get in the way of buying a home, nice gifts, private schooling, vacations, fancy meals, and many more things, but it's got nothing to do with love. For someone to say that they aren't "pursuing love" because they don't have enough money says a lot more about their sad state of mind and the people they're dating than it does about love.
Making a move to embedded programming sounds like a good idea, but I think its definitely possible that after a few years of doing that you will get bored too. You say that you "don't want be stuck writing code to automate business processes for the rest of my life" but will embedded be any better? I don't have much experience with embedded stuff beyond arduinos but I'm sure there is an equivalent complaint in that area like "I don't want to be stuck implementing input/output specifications given to me"? I think the HN / developer crowd emphasises interest and passion in one's work to an unrealistic degree.

My own personal solutions for this dilemma are:

1. Try and make as much money as you can and save so that you might be able to retire early, or at least retire from development and take on a less-well paying but more fulfilling job.

2. Work less (i.e. part time 3-4 days a week) and spend the remaining time volunteering or doing something you find more fulfilling.

3. Work freelance so you at least have a lot of variety in the projects you work on.
Debt costs money. If you are an investor you want to take as much of a share of profits as you can.

Hedges like that are for people who can’t afford to cover the downside. Bezos can, so a hedge would just lower the value of his overall holding.

While skepticism is very healthy, we should recognize that their interests coincide with ours a lot frequently.
Google is very much interested in serving each user the best possible search results, apart from the advertisers that pay them and their own advertisements. That's not ideal for the user, but denying them the information will not affect just the ads.

That said, I use mostly DDG and am satisfied with it. It's a tradeoff.
That is how I learned

Think of a JSON map as a document or an entity. Then the keys would be predicates, and the values would be either references to another JSON map (document/entity) or a value (like a string, int or something).

{"uid": "0xabcd",
"friend": [{...}, {...}],
"name": "HN user",
"age": 21
}

This is a valid JSON for Dgraph. It means, the overall JSON map is an entity of UID, 0xabcd. It has friends (other maps), name "HN user", and age 21. Here, "friend", "name", "age" are predicates.

Wasn't most of the middle east pretty undeveloped before oil?
My question was why this "regulatory agency" (without statutory powers) believes it is completely acceptable to cause direct harm without any discretion on the size of the risk.

The CA is irrelevant, they're just a middle-man.

We may be better off as separate countries, but the divide isn't red state vs. blue state. It's urban vs. rural.

I'm in Atlanta, and most of us here wouldn't be happy at all living in a "deep south" country.
Coding isn't the only path to starting a software company. Sales is also a very important if not more important than coding when creating a company. And if selling comes easier than coding you might want to try investing in that skill set.

>Personally though, the reason I don’t connect to random WiFi networks is most of the ones in the UK ask you for your email address. I’d rather rag my mobile data allowance than hand my email address over to 3rd parties.

This is why I have a few spare email addresses that I don't log into. They have no personal information about me (most of these mailboxes were last accessed on computers I don't have anymore or via the public library).
One of the most mind blowing things to me, is that where I'm from (Canada) we've pumped almost 2.5 times more oil and gas than Nowrway over the past 30 years, yet our "oil fund" is somewhere around $20 Billion. Norway decided the benefits of resource extraction should be universal, while my country decided that the benefits should go to the wealthy and multi-national corporations.

> I find it odd that HIV is not a lifestyle disease.

When I think of a "lifestyle disease", the first thing that comes to mind is type 2 diabetes. The actual disease is part of a lifestyle of chronic behavior that is linked to this particular bad health outcome. Someone can contract it regardless of their lifestyle.

Sure, there are potential lifestyle components to the way that the HIV virus is transmitted. Some people exposed to this pathogen will contract HIV. Of those, some will develop AIDS.

But that doesn't mean that the lifestyle is the cause of the disease; the pathogen is the cause.

As for the higher-level judgment: some people want to do drugs, and most people aren't in (and don't want to be in) monogamous relationships. The health of these populations is just as valuable as any other, no? It's perfectly possible to do both of these things and be healthy; the fact that some pathogens can be transmitted via these media makes it worth fighting these pathogens (while also of course educating people to engage in these activities more safely).

> HIV seems to be getting an out sized share of research compared to other things that kill more people.

Oh, yeah, if that's the point, I absolutely agree with that.

An easy place to start is traffic fatalities. It's not difficult to reduce these, but it costs both money and willingness to change driving habits. And of course traffic accidents kill many, many more people than HIV.

And heart disease. And opiod overdoses. And medical malpractice.

No, meaning it owns 1.4% of the global public equity market.

They have some $700bn in stocks. The market cap of the S&P 500 is $25tn. If they held US large cap stocks only they would have almost 3% of each one of the S&P 500 companies.
I have upgraded once in 5 years (from a 6 to the 8+) They are a great product, durable and very capable even when they are 3 or 4 years old.

Im not chasing innovation, I want something I can depend on.
Most of the middle east is underdeveloped today. There's been some progress (sometimes huge progress, such as Iran), but it may be a generation or more before they really catch up.
You should do your initial vpn setup and first connection over a known good secure connection. Good vpn apps also pin certs and will warn you about migrating hosts or unexpected IPs.
~10 years ago it was worse. They would just subscribe you themselves to the actual newspaper and then bill you. If you lived in a multi-unit building you wouldn't even know you had been receiving LAT for several months before the bill came!

This is literally a scam and would be bad for any business but 10x worse for a newspaper. "Hey, would you like to get your news from scammers like us?"
The Flawed Reasoning Behind the Replication Crisis
I would have to say the Dr Racket lisp tutorial ... https://docs.racket-lang.org/quick/

For anyone who already programs I can't recommend this enough. See it as a 1 hour vacation into alice in wonderland. I don't see myself ever using lisp, but after using an imperative language for a long time and having it become second nature, I found it quite a fun mental leap to learn functional programming. Well lisp is basically a similar mental stretch... you can get a taste of it in only 10 bullet points (in the link). it will take you only 1-2 hours. I found it wildly refreshing, enlightening... any time you see paradigms youre used to for 10+ years done a different way there are so many "ah-ha" moments its like firecrackers going off.

The part that is very cool, is that in lisp there are no statements, only expressions. So the 'physical limitiation' of writing code almost feels like theres no rules, such that it just flows effortlessly. Like in English, you can't end a sentence with a preposition (like a statement, you cant put an if statement in the middle of the expression 1 + 1). But in lisp, there are no rules like that.

It's super fun to bend your mind in new ways even if you dont use it. I highly recommend it, it was really a fun day doing that tutorial.
> every great new idea won't be expanded far beyond its scope sooner or later

And when the expansion is justified by shocking statements ("stop terrorists and pedophiles, think of the children" type stuff) that's when people should stop and think. Because anyone trying to convince you by shocking you probably wants to hide something in that shock.
When it comes to cybercrime, it's a prospect of "how much time & money will it take to make X dollars"

Maybe at one point in the future, purchase of theoretical MITM devices and deploying them in a dragnet of free wifi access points without the FBI finding out will be profitable. But for now, there's much cheaper and more profitable ways to make money criminally.

How to Answer Tricky Personal Questions at a New Job
In case it's not entirely clear, the font ridicules the practice of gerrymandering: toying with electoral district borders so that the results favor the incumbent while corralling the voters of the adversaries.

So extensive is this practice that the resulting shapes can approximate any letter of the alphabet. Quite readable too.
