I'd honestly argue that it can be worse. If someone cites a claim with a bogus citation and no one chooses to challenge it, then that becomes something that's not just an opinion, but something that's viewed to be scientific fact.

For example have you ever been in an argument where you recall reading a paper or statistic, but don't have it on hand? What if that statistic was a false correlation drummed up by a highly politicized thinktank?

This is why it's so important to not leave potentially misleading or outright wrong citations unchallenged. This is sort of how the 'vaccines cause autism' claims can quickly spiral out of control. It requires people to behave earnestly and not mislead with their citations.
The “Myths List” is a communication antipattern
Look at it this way: if an ideologue, or otherwise motivated actor, can accomplish their goal or spin their story using facts that happen to be true, why wouldn't they? If someone is politically motivated, for example, to tighten border security, it's surely possible they'll fudge numbers about criminal immigrants to tell their story; but if a real, un-p-hacked statistic tells that story, why bother bullshitting when you can shout the truth from the rooftops?

I don't trust politicians, but I have some trust in nerds. While scientists and engineers are far from immune to groupthink or perverse incentives, there is so much clout to be gained (not to mention a feel-good pro-growth story), if the case for AGW wasn't strong, I think we'd be seeing a stronger contrarian pushback from within scientific communities (including taking their case to the public through TED talks, podcasts, YouTube, etc) [1]. Be it string theory, or the lipid hypothesis, or OOP-vs-FP, how rare is it to actually get 95%+ of nerds to agree on anything?

[1] For an example in action, see physicist Richard Muller, who spent years as a skeptic and founded an organization to debunk climate change, only to change his mind after examining the results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Earth
Canada's national broadcaster (the CBC) is funded out of general tax revenue, which I appreciate. Extremists on both sides complain that it leans too far the other way, which is probably a good sign overall. Certainly the CBC coverage pulls no punches when discussing our famous Liberal government scandals.

Other than as a news organization, another part of why it exists is to purchase and stimulate the developments of home-grown content (Little Mosque on the Praire, Schitt's Creek, Kim's Convenience, etc). For this reason, it has sometimes raised eyebrows in the past when it has purchased licenses to air mainstream Hollywood films, especially if doing so competes against private broadcasters like CTV.

I think it might be useful to note for other readers here that jq is very powerful for parsing json - you can programatically search, select, map, and mutate parts of any json. If you work with a lot of json, it's worth checking out.
Well, since they don't communicate it in a reasonable way it is eavesdropping then.
Usually though what happens is this:

:) cat foo.json
[oh crap]
:) cat foo.json | python -m foo.tool

For the 2nd command I'd hit "[up] | pyth[tab] -m json.tool"
To avoid the problems mentioned above. If VP Eng reports to the CTO the CTO has ultimate authority over his decisions, which is problematic when the reason you're hiring the VP Eng is because the CTO lacks the skillset to effectively manage the engineering organization.

VP Eng and CTO should be peer positions both reporting up to the CEO. The VP Eng's job is to keep the company's existing product working and maximize its value to the market. The CTO's job is to search for new potential technical developments or market opportunities that could alter the company's strategy. They need to report directly to the CEO as well to ensure that information flow doesn't get impeded by a VP Eng more focused on what the world looks like now than what it'll look like in the future.

China's problem has always been how to maintain control through the ebb and flows of history. When centralized governments fail in China, they fail HARD. (This in no way is a moral defense of what they do.)

With mounting economic pressure from internal growth slowing down and n-times-burned global trading partners, the current regime is up against the wall. The one BIG difference this time is that AI has such effective policing effectiveness. Previously marshaling paramilitaries and corralling local warlords were the (hard to scale) tools available. They were not the best tools, because when the central govt fails, the empowered local forces have enough strength to wreak havoc.

AI is so powerful in China because AI is mostly bound by dataset size (at our current stage of research). And if there's one thing that's cheap for the CCP to get, it's training data.

If there's a time for dynasty building, it is now. The CCP may be the most resilient thanks to AI.
I would like to discuss certain intersections of politics and technology, but HN has proven time and time again to be incapable of handling them without turning into a screaming match. Such topics require heavy, active moderation in a community with such conflicting views, and that kind of moderation tends to lead to more screaming matches.
Same with Porsche, but it doesn't actually hurt anything if you don't have the dealer install and code a replacement battery. The car doesn't nag you about it. The coding is primarily used to determine when the auto start/stop feature can be activated and for how long, but many/most owners turn that off anyway.

If Apple doesn't want to show the estimated health state for aftermarket batteries, that's fine, but they should have simply refrained from displaying that field. Displaying scary but meaningless warning messages just comes across as rent-seeking behavior. It will (or at least it should) encourage their customers to contact their representatives to support Right To Repair legislation.

Torn on this.

1) I want to be able to open and repair my own things.

2) Every time I use a non-Apple battery, or buy a refurbished phone, I have issues ranging from battery life is shorter, to battery swelling.

I bought an 8s from Amazon’s refurbished line last week for a family member and the battery health started at 89% but is now at 81%. Sketch. Hard to trust any refurbished seller. Ultimately that leads to bad experiences with Apple products — my dad gets a replacement phone and all he knows is the battery life is poor.

Just looked at my code.
It was "real->decimal-string" It includes the decimal point, even when the "digits" parameter is 0. Minor, but when throwing a tiny page together I probably spent 10% of my time just figuring out where that function lived and that there wasn't some other routine I should be using (though it sounds like there actually is). So I changed the format string to "~a~a~a~a" from "~a~a.~a" and did (if (zero? digits) "" "."). Potentially the existing behavior is correct for scheme compatibility?

I'm not web guy, my changes are pretty haphazard, but I'm not the first person to notice this. https://github.com/racket/scribble/pull/62 is a rejected pull request (with you as a reviewer, so I'm sure you know that it doesn't work well currently, on my iPhone SE at least, maybe larger form factor phones do better)

Taleb made a career out of this: Economists use models that are don't consider fat-tails. The rating agencies used them, LTCM used them, Fannie and Freddie used them. Everyone thought spreading shitty risks across MBS, CDOs, CDS, CDS^2 mitigated the risk, but it turns out i did not.

As Taleb would say, the economists use models that assume we live in "mediocristan" but we live in "extremistan"

I'll post my comment here, because I agree with everything written above and I wouldn't be able to state it as well as @danenania.

As for pricing, I would add a second point of view: price the app in a sustainable way right from the start. Estimate the realistic number of subscribers you can get, and set the pricing so that you can continue to develop the app. Too many apps price themselves too low "because otherwise nobody will buy", and end up disappearing anyway, because they weren't able to survive on the small amount of money.

I don't have experience with consumer subscriptions. I can only say that in the B2B SaaS world, I don't think you can build a sustainable business with pricing below $40/month. The consumer numbers are likely lower, because you can get more customers with a smaller support load. But I don't think $4/month is a realistic price point.
A Deep Dive into Git Performance Using Trace2
"Google's Borg system is a cluster manager that runs hundreds of thousands of jobs, from many thousands of different applications, across a number of clusters each with up to tens of thousands of machines. It achieves high utilization by combining admission control, efficient task-packing, over-commitment, and machine sharing with process-level performance isolation" [0].

All of their processes run together on the same machines so you wouldn't want to risk one compromised process access data on possibly any other process.

I'll take a stab: it means that either (a) the CEO has ego problems and refuses to allow other C-suite titles, or (b) the CEO has failed to hire the appropriate talent for a true CTO role (often because they're trying to do too much themselves).

It's not just you... I think it reminds us of Helvetica because it borrows some common elements from Helvetica that are frequently changed in other Helvetica-like faces. For example, the ascender on the lowercase "t" is horizontal, unlike Arial. The apertures are also relatively tight, like Helvetica, and the x-heights are similar. I wouldn't say it's a clone though; it manages to look a little more humanist without being whimsical, which IMHO is a real accomplishment for a designer's first typeface.
Here is where that take it slow advice comes into play, also prioritizing all your interest in relation to your level of interest in them, your skill-set, and your network is definitely the key here.

It is either that you are definitely more interested in one than others or you are more suited skill-wise to another one or you are a 2nd degree connection with someone entrenched in another. One of these should come into play and be the deciding factor.

Apple has a good thing here. They limit repair and parts to only those who they authorise, keeping parts off the second-hand market.

And why replace a cable when you can replace both boards, then maybe the cable too. They do seem very quick to recommend replacing major parts or to buy new. They could try the easy fixes (such as cables), I think people would rather risk a small fee before deciding if it is worth shelling out for more expensive components.
It would've been borderline-possible in the days of over-the-air television - the first local oscillator in the TV is going to be tuned to a frequency directly related to the channel being watched, so RF leakage would make the channel detectable.
I'm interested in the idea but can't say I'm very much into Blockstack after looking into it. The fact that they're tied heavily in the blockchain and pay large sums to apps in the name of "app mining" is.. concerning. Even after a fair bit of research, the origin of the money is extremely unclear.
Well, one reason is to reduce the tax numbers on paper. Sort of like council tax - it's not a "real" tax, until you refuse to pay it that is.

In the USA, laws against looking in someone's house on purpose are called "peeping Tom" laws.

Generally they specify that it's not a problem if you do not intend to violate anyone's privacy and don't take any steps to improve your sightline; conversely, if you intend to look into someone's house and you take any active measure to do so, you're in violation.

I have heard a couple of times "Keynesian economics discredited" (or just the term "discredited") thrown around, but where does this line of thought come from? My (lay) impression was that Keynesianism had resurged over the past couple of decades due to the failure of more free market and/or austerity economics, especially in Europe.
Thank you! It probably needs a refresher at some point, but I'd like to keep the explanation focused style.

Republican Keynesianism isn't new, either -- much of the supply-sider argument (especially as formulated by Laffer in the Reagan era) is fundamentally Keynesian.

Politicians of both sides run into an incentive problem when implementing Keynesian policy because it requires what commentators denigrate as "austerity" in good times in addition to heavy recession spending. There's every incentive for politicians to keep the spending up in good times, and little (other than ideology or commitment to good governance, neither of which have proven especially important to most political actors) incentive in the other direction.
> I'm not even convinced they're using proper grammar to say these things.

But "good day sir" lacks a verb and subject/object, so it's not even a sentence. On the other hand, "what is up" and "how is it hanging" are proper interrogative sentences, as far as grammar is concerned anyway.
There is a detailed list of what I want to happen and who should get what in a container in my closet, but here isn't any passwords, because I don't want my family to get access to all my online accounts -- they have the email we have exchanged over the years (hopefully decades to come) and that is what I want them to have.
Presumably you could compare it to a reference signal, i.e. what is being broadcast right at that moment? Hence the TV aerials on the roof of the vans?
The rules recently changed and people now need a licence to watch content on BBC iPlayer.

If you own a licence and you're away from home you're allowed to use a device powered only by internal batteries to watch TV -- this is covered by your home licence.

Yes, this leads to ridiculous situations. You watch live tv on your phone? Fine, until you plug in your phone to charge and you're now breaking the law. I don't think anyone has been prosecuted for this type of use.
GitHub Actions: why CircleCI remains the best tool for teams
ACH is slow and inaccessible to most consumers for P2P payments, debit networks cost real money to use in the USA, and alternatives like Zelle are patchy in support among banks and have low sending limits.

The USA has tons of banks and credit unions. Many small towns will have a bank that only has one or two branches, yet has their own full IT infrastructure.

These small banks barely have websites, let alone comprehensive online banking. The most technically advanced thing these types of banks do is integrate with the Co-op ATM network for withdrawls and deposits.

US payment infrastructure is ossified badly, and desparately needs reform.
As the author of "Myths about /dev/urandom" (https://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom) I gingerly agree with the thrust of this article (although it has not really swayed me, other articles in that vein have).

Very cool UI! As someone who runs something like a journal from time to time, I might use some of this for inspiration.

One question though. If it's just a personal journal, and I don't care to share any of it, why do I need blockchain? I think I'd rather just generate a symmetric key and store this encrypted data on any storage I choose. Are you planning social features?

Never having heard of the hukou system before (wikipedia[1] for anyone in the same boat) I have a hard time understanding the rationale behind it. The only "benefit" I can see is the government having more control over citizen movement and reduced class mobility. I was surprised that people with rural hukou status who had migrated to urban areas were reluctant to change status. I'm curious how it's perceived by the people?

Galaxy S5 has fully replaceable batteries as well. As a phone, I'd say it still holds up rather well as a lower end mid-range phone today.
