I actually like this tech. It opens infinite possibilities for using a real(-istic) image in a made up situation (think games and entertainment). Get ready for a new wave of “dynamic models” soon, who will not only post images and videos with new clothes and makeup on their whatever-gram, but also perform movement scenes that could be used to model them in a virtual way, for money of course. People will like it, because if it is not them who make an easy living, at least they can see a good show that doesn’t depend on performer’s preferences, or make one themselves by movement translation. It is also a time to make a new fortune out of it.

As for politics and fact-checking, personally I just don’t care. If you do, then sign your damn video with a public key already and check if a video matches it. That would require a new sort of signature that is not lost on resize/rebalance/etc, but nothing unreal. As a bonus, video players could show the source’s certificate fields right below the video.
Yep, agreed.

JP Morgan Chase currently lost their motion to dismiss a lawsuit against their policy of treating cryptocurrency purchases as cash advances

But their terms of service didn't spell out cryptocurrencies, lets see how it plays out

I’m betting cryptocurrency purchases will begin accurately falling under a consumer goods framework sooner rather than later, indistinct from buying a cryptographic accesstoken for any saas product which powers your user session.
If it's a curve, that means that the growth rate of the function is itself changing. And using the approach of finding slopes of lines incrementally closer to the tangent line through a point, you can naturally identify the value that the slopes approach. This is the most basic way to demonstrate taking a limit
The problem is more-or-less as bad for a normal distribution as it is for a skewed distribution (I'd have said the distribution from my examples is right skewed, not that it makes any difference to my argument): the minimum gives you no information about the distribution. As Figure 1 of [1] (bias alert: I'm a co-author) shows, it seems that, on modern systems, you can can find pretty much any distribution you want if you have enough benchmarks.

It's less about being "smarter," it's really about identifying your advantage and understanding whether you can exploit it. This could be something as obvious as an information advantage (insider trading) to simply having more time/patience. If you can buy and hold for decades, you can wait out the bumps, the people who are forced to sell, and for more money to enter the market.

> If it wasn’t such, what would stop it from descending into a carbon war, similar to the trade wars we have now with Trump, with cleaner countries aggressively adding tariffs to poorer, “dirtier” countries?

The main reason would be that the poorer countries as a rule aren't actually dirtier. Countries by CO2 per capita:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...

It's basically a list sorted by approximately how rich they are, with rich oil states and big first world countries like the US, Canada and Australia at the top and impoverished African countries at the bottom.

Moreover, actual poor countries like Haiti and Kenya are irrelevant in this game. They're emitting negligible amounts now and for new infrastructure renewables are already cheaper.

This is all about the western countries and BRIC. None of them are "poor" to the extent that they can't be expected to pay the cost to clean up their own house. It's one thing to worry about countries like Ethiopia, but Russia is not that.

Meanwhile the nature of the shift away from carbon makes it an economic stimulus for non-oil exporting countries like India and China because it allows them to stop paying to import oil and instead pay for renewables that can be from domestic producers.
I'm intrigued: What part of German labour laws make it illegal to not tell you why your employer does not give you a voluntary payment (e.g.: A bonus)?

Small thread from back then: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3724508
I suspect that the main good purpose of the impostor syndrome concept is to tell it to another person, when they need to hear it.

When an article gives a personal account of someone feeling impostor syndrome, one possibility is that they are trying to tell it to readers who might need to hear it, or who might tell it to someone else who needs to hear it.

What's potentially a bad effect of the impostor syndrome concept is when it causes very rational and needed self-doubt to be dismissed. So, instead of thinking, "I need to figure out how to be better at this," one might think, "Ha ha, my impostor syndrome must be flaring up again. Which means I'm even better than the evidence suggests."

(BTW, management-ish articles usually seem to be about self-promotion, one way or another, and I think it's just accepted as something a savvy person does. I try to pick out useful things, but don't assume (as I might with some other genre) that the writer believes what they are saying, nor that they think what they are saying is actually important -- even though both might be true, despite the conventions of the genre, as they might be true with this particular article.)
DevOps Full Picture – An Intersection of Culture, Processes and Tools
I was expecting something a lot more detailed. I got to the end and was wondering if this was the first part of a series, since it's nowhere near "everything" anyone would want to know about the stock market. It's barely an introduction.

Then there are the inaccuracies. Zero-sum game? No. Derivatives are "a bet on the rate of change" in value? No. Brokers "help you execute a trade at the best possible price"? Well... not really. The NYSE is a "one stop shop" for people who want to trade? Um, NASDAQ? Any number of non-US exchanges?

Overall, very disappointing.
I've used a burner phone exclusively for ~6 months because of lack of financial funds. I loved that thing. Crystal clear calls, and while my fiancee had to recharge her smartphone every night I almost got to 2 weeks without charging and almost forgot that you actually have to charge it. It's a certain feeling of freedom. Unfortunately they don't run Slack so I just got an old S4, bought a huge aftermarket battery for it and optimized the kernel for energy saving and now I can still go 4-5 days in standby. Battery life is like drugs.
But if the growth rate is changing, then how could a line be equivalent to the growth rate?

Actually, what does growth rate even mean?
Fear media triggers a race to fight manipulated photos and videos. “OMG we’re under ATTACK”
I agree that, in general for everyday stuff, I prefer "down to earth" stuff like the gritty NYC in the 80s or SF of today, than glitzy skyscrapers. They seem too sterile.

BUT in those photos, man, there are so many confounding variables. How about the fact that the sky is brighter than the skyscrapers, so you could be looking for where it is brighter? Secondly, there isn't much detail or variation on those "boxes", so your brain doesn't find that patch very interesting. And so on.

There are plenty of skyscrapers people notice right away, e.g. the empire state building, the space needle, etc.
An extremely technical paper on centrality metrics in a clinical journal is not the right audience.

I suggested there were ways to approach writing it for that audience, but they'd need to extensively rework the paper. The reason I know that? I've done the same thing, for the same journal.

I've recently done a bit of Flutter development and have enjoyed it quite a bit. The third party Provider API solves all the state management issues, it should become the default.

Nice guide. I would have liked a little more detail. But this is great as it is! Thanks
True.

I was just riffing on how to deal with pervasive paywalls that required full subscriptions.
TBF for this specific case it's very much unnecessary to break out regexes: most languages do have some sort of literal replacement string API:

str.replace = replace(...)
S.replace(old, new[, count]) -> str

Return a copy of S with all occurrences of substring
old replaced by new. If the optional argument count is
given, only the first count occurrences are replaced.

(though the documentation turns out more misleading than re.sub's: this states it replaces all occurrences but really replaces all non-overlapping occurrences, which re.sub actually spells out properly).
I never said they wanted land to be a separate entity but rather they sought to take into account geographic interests and not just individual ones when writing the constitution
Why do they use the word Release? Release of entropy suddenly drops into the picture when talking abt ice to water. Why not just say info/entropy/uncertainty of the system is increasing or decreasing?

This subject is new to me but I like the 20 questions analogy.

Thinking of probability distribution of N words as a measure of info in someone's mind is interesting.

Disciplined minds that have certain concepts on their finger tips clearly have spent time and effort producing that distribution.
This is not really true. The market overall works as a surprisingly efficient resource allocation engine. Onions aren't a great example as they are a commodity rather than a stock.

Regardless, if someone does bid up the price of onions, it will typically trigger increased production of onions as farmers can make more profit by growing onions vs. another vegetable. This increased supply will pull the price back down.
So you're just drawing a line from start to end and calling that the velocity? That just averages the whole thing out, doesn't it?

Unfortunately, I don't have an informal notion of growth rate in my head :/
No problem =) I was just a bit confused myself as I saw that pattern an it didn't instantly make sense why someone would write that. If you often use regex like I do. You kinda instantly see that something is weird if pattern have repeating sub pattern. It basically should never happen if the pattern is simplified.

You may wanna have a look at the PCRE flavor if you understand this you can work with all others (you'll only gonna miss some features)

The + is really just a shortcut for {1,} means 1 or more greedy
the * is a shortcut for {0,} means 0 or more greedy
Also while I'm at it the "even more correct" pattern ofc would be \d+ (at least in PCRE) \d stand for digit it shortcut for [0-9]
Personally I would never write [0-9] I only ever use sets for partial ranges i.e. [5-9] or [a-f]
Whenever you need the "full" set there is usually a short way to write it. This makes pattern shorter and easier to read.
Another nice trick is to uppercase the shortcuts to invert it's meaning so \D would match any non-digit.
The explanation of lifetimes linked here is really great - I think this goes a little further than just a cheat sheet. Seems to be more like excellent Clif notes.
> Adtech pays better than every single thing you're talking about here

Which doesn't matter at all in regards to attracting the best minds. That's an entirely bogus premise. What you're stating is core to what leads people to incorrectly conclude the best minds must surely be working on ad clicks. It's the difference between attracting highly accomplished, top 5% minds (great income, went to a top school, great education results; surely must be among the best minds; but isn't), and attracting the actual best minds.

Conceptually if you were right, someone like Feng Zhang would have been working for Google or Facebook on ad clicks, rather than at Broad on changing the world of biotech via CRISPR. JB Straubel would have been at Twitter trying to figure out how to improve their ad system. Craig Venter would have been starting an ad network instead of cracking the human genome at Celera. Rodney Brooks would be working on mobile ads instead of robotics. Gwynne Shotwell would be running some ad division within Snap or Google. And so on.

The best minds are more often capable of both making enough money and pursuing what they want to do - pursing what they're most interested in. Many of them throughout history have chosen to nearly entirely neglect the money aspect in fact. Maximizing for money (and not life satisfaction) via eg working in adtech, is precisely what a best mind would not commonly do, and exactly what a highly accomplished top 5% type mind would do (something you see routinely, eg the mid or mid-upper management corporate types; highly accomplished, top schools, high incomes; also not the best minds).

> Your whataboutism doesn't change the basic premise, which is that adtech comes with stronger incentives than other fields

Please point out the whataboutism in what I said. I've pointed out an obvious flaw in the common claim about what the best minds are focused on.

> What you've done is read too much into an aphorism that is phrased in reference to a well-known poem.

I disagree. It's floated persistently and has been for many years as a serious generalized statement - a lament - about what the best minds are working on (ad clicks, not flying cars).

> Its rewards program is pretty mediocre, and virtually every Visa/MC/Amex supports Apple Pay seamlessly as is.

Three use cases: card swipes, tap to pay, and Apple purchases.

For card swipe, 1 percent is meh. For tap to pay, 2 percent cashback is about as good as it gets without messing with annual fees. The daily cash back is a mild improvement over other, comparable plans like '1 percent when you're billed, 1 percent when you pay that bill.' For Apple specific purchases, this replaces the Barclay's branded card, and the cash back plan is largely an improvement over the '$25 Apple giftcard' seen previously.

Beyond that, the card is advertised as 'no fees.' Not even for cash advances, late or missed payments. So how do they solve the no-cash-advance fee problem? Can't have cash advance fees if you don't offer cash advances. Hence the rules outlined in the article about cash equivalents.
Why should HN handle media payments? It's more of a discussion forum than a news aggregator. Indeed, users submit links, so maybe they (we) ought to be making payment arrangements.
That's a pretty good explanation, thanks. Along with the monads in Clojure [0] article I read recently, I feel I'm getting a decent grasp on monads finally.

Now they're beginning to click, I don't feel they're too complicated. Simply a way to insert a converter function between each stage in a good-old-fashioned pipeline of function applications? The converter takes the output of each function, transforms it so that it can be piped into the next function, then takes that output and combines it with the previous one, etc. Please, someone enlighten me if I've got the wrong end of the stick.

I love how everybody is having a cow over a website where the rhetoric isn't really all that much worse than a 'mainstream' site like twitter. For example in twitter you can find guys who call for children to be fed into wood chippers because they wear Maga hats and hundreds/thousands of people including corporate accounts like Burger King cheering assaulting people. And they almost all receive absolutely no punishment. And not a single one of all the sensitive bearded men pouring their hearts out in righteous fury at 8chan here seem to care. And I'm pretty sure a ton of killers use twitter.

When I was a child I used to think the ideals of freedom of expression were ingrained in this society. But apparently all it takes is the MSM running a few hitpieces and the 'intellectuals' are all 'lol 1st Amendment technically applying to government means it is not only permitted but great that all censorship is now offloaded to megacorporate oligarchies! fuck free speech!'
Good question, I think we don't need the address, just country and city to check if help with relocation is possible, so I'll make HR remove it from the application form.

Fox and CNN are indeed liable for what they display because they are publishers. They control the content.

That's kind of the point.

Cloudflare and social media co's naturally want to be protected as a platform. If they start controlling the content in an ad hoc it's a lot harder for them to claim that.
> JP Morgan Chase currently lost their motion to dismiss a lawsuit against their policy of treating cryptocurrency purchases as cash advances

Just a note for people reading this who might not understand the nuances of the American tort system: this merely means that JPM's lawyers tried to "short circuit" the process by asking a judge to decide the case has no merit, and throw it out before going through the whole process. The judge disagreed, thinks there might be merit to the case, and wants to see it go to trial (or, more likely, see JPM settle with the plaintiff).
regex101.com is my go-to, because it supports regex flags and Python regexes.

I think Yuval Harari was onto something when he said that what guides the vision of a society and thus science spending is ideology, religion and politics.

The exchange itself has a goal to ensure liquidity. Do you really think all your orders are instant because there's somebody on the other side to buy it? I mean, yeah, right - for the very common stocks this is the case, but what about those low liquidity stocks that are still being executed instantly?
Does that really work? If it was me doing this (NB: I would hate this as a user): I would retrieve the signed token from Google server-side, check whether it's true or false, and remotely lock out the account so it can't be signed in from any phone until you call customer service.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Suppose we give them money for the rain forest so they leave it alone, and they take the money and invest it in the S&P 500, and then take the returns from that and reinvest it in the same thing.

Suppose instead we threaten them with trade sanctions if they don't leave the rain forest alone, keep our money and invest it in the S&P 500 ourselves.

It's the same result in practice. The real cost to Brazil is that they don't get to have an agriculture industry where there used to be rain forest. Which fat cat subsequently gets to be the nominal owner of some shares of SPX has no real effect on ordinary humans. The fat cats care but nothing real changes for anybody else.
It's not helpful to palm this off on mental illness - that does a disservice to people with such issues and doesn't address the fact that virulent ideologies exist in the real world and have proponents that are capable of planning, organizing, and recruiting.

Put down that ENV; what you should know about ENV configuration
While that's true for people who have a traditional education from a good university, an established network or live in a tech hub or have the ability to travel to one, having an online presence is very helpful as an alternative to real-life networking for people who lack those things.

For someone from a developing country, changing careers or looking for remote work, an online presence can provide them with opportunities they would not otherwise be able to get. Of course, that online presence should actually have something substantial and probably shouldn't take the form of yet another basic tutorial blog post.

Also, there's no reason why a programmer's online presence should be only about side-projects or programming. Running a website related to one of your other hobbies is a perfectly acceptable way to provide a conversation starter (which is all an online presence is doing most of the time, anyway).
