There is also a false dichotomy based on the idea that law enforcement are the “good guys”. In the Bay Area, traffic officers routinely get caught blackmailing women. Federal prosecutors routinely use “alternative reconstruction” where they keep the real evidence secret, and just lie to courts about the facts. US government computers are routinely breached by government employees, contractors, and foreign governments, and the results are then used to blackmail our politicians, influence elections, etc.

Barr should know about that last one, since he’s in the middle of the current impeachment proceedings, and Trump has also been routinely calling for the prosecution of his political opponents for doing some of the things I just listed.

It is clear that even Barr is uncomfortable with giving these surveillance powers to the executive branch while a Democrat is serving as president.

Afaik, Haskell is a realization of the (typed!) lambda calculus. Lisps aren't because they don't do lazy evaluation. The LC beta reduction of (\a. a) (\c. d) (\e. f) is (\c. d) (\e. f) but most lisps will reduce it to (\a. a) d. This might seem like a minor detail but means general recursion using the y combinator isn't actually implementable in lisps (I could be wrong though).

... no actually, not just people making weapons are getting demonetized. Everyone, across the board, is getting demonetized seemingly at random and with no explanation. A video can be demonetized if the cellphone of someone in that video's ringtone is a popular song. Even worse, they don't get demonetized and become the property of the person who wrote the song...
Manual mode is available on many Android phones: https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-take-photo-manual-mo...
Given that the video is Photography 101 level, I'm not sure that taking guidance from what professionals do is necessarily the best idea. Maybe fumbling around trying to control everything manually gives you slightly worse photos initially, but a better understanding of light and photography as you go along.

Just like if you just got a Raspberry Pi and you're writing some code to blink the lights on your christmas tree, you may not want to do it like the pros and write unit tests and develop features in branches that get merged by pull requests.

It can be useful to learn and practice using manual mode. Once you start to get the feel for it, then use one of the priority modes (not just aperture).

Even if aperture priority mode is all professionals use, not everybody will always be taking photos for money.

In general, some of the worst advice comes in the form of "you should always ______", especially when suffixed with "because that's what professionals do". Learn the basics, learn what the professionals do, then figure out what works best for you. Most importantly, remember to try weird things and have fun!
Perhaps not, but then, he wasn't elected in spite of everybody in the media saying he was stupid and would never win.

I haven't ever seen anything from him that says we've gone through it already - he cagey about exactly when (and that's the correct view imo) the next big recession hits, but I see him trying to lay groundwork to allow a few paradigm shifts in how governments have to take on new financial tools if we want to stay stable - e.g. helicopter money. You could get his "Big Debt Crisis" book (I got the free pdf on rollout), that lays out the case in detail with data.

That is a great point to score the confidence the search mechanism has in the answers, either because it couldn't match the query adequately, or because the answers don't have high standard quality.

Most of the real estate experience comes from our advisors. One is a prominent consultant for cities on economic development using real estate. Another started Clarion Parters, which is a massive real estate investment fund. One of our early customers, Midwood, which also a large real estate investment, actually invested in us as well and joined the advisory board.

We don't pretend that we know more than others about real estate, because we are still mainly a tech company. Our expertise is in finding properties, using data, that can perform well, which has been the case both in back-testing as well as walk forward predictions.

This is why we don't handle the transaction process for our customers. Instead, we rely on partners that have more experience in these areas than we do.

To further ease people's mind, we offer the downside protection. So, if we mess up, we pay the price, not our customers.
What can they rise with? Some official inflation rate? Does the calculation of that inflation rate include house prices?
You don't. 4chan isn't "valid", it's just another data source. I assume everything posted there is not only false, but a lie specifically crafted by someone very intelligent to mislead me.

That said, when someone posts on 4chan that an event has occurred before news of that event has broken elsewhere, it's reasonable to compare the two. If the 4chan version is largely consistent but includes a couple of details that conflict with the "official" version, then I take that as an indication that maybe something was misreported. It would be folly to assume that the 4chan version was correct, even with the supporting evidence of it being first to break.

Most of those "discrepancies" are just that, and I don't believe are intentional misinformation. Consider a topic for which you're an expert. Any topic. Now look at media coverage of that topic - is it accurate? Of course not. Details are usually wrong, terms and concepts are used inappropriately, and sometimes an article's entire premise is absurd. It makes sense to me that if reporting is that bad for the things I know well enough to know it's bad, it's likely that bad for everything else; I just often don't know enough about the topic to realize it.

There was a group trying to make "leather" out of the skin that forms in fermenting kombucha. I'm not sure how well it matches actual leather, but there may be a future in lab grown leather similar to lab grown meat.
I used to live mostly in A mode, until I realized I can be in what I call "ISO mode" on my camera.

If I set ISO to auto I can manually pick shutter speed and aperture and the ISO automatically adjusts. I use exposure compensation to adjust as needed.

Technically speaking, it's not pure manual, but there are many times when I want to achieve a minimum shutter speed and let ISO compensate.
Facebook has a great AI and apparently also NLP team , a great framework , and tons of resources. They should make a search engine.
It's also incredibly outdated, as business enterprises today rely on the exact same computing and encryption technologies that consumers do. We all carry iPhones, use chat applications to have business conversations, etc., and of course TLS is TLS.

Heck, the President and many members of Congress, the military, intelligence services, etc. use an iPhone. Maybe let's think about that before we stick a backdoor in that piece of "consumer" technology.

Regarding desegregation of schools - I'm not sure how to solve problems in rural areas, but in suburban ones, it seems like redistricting and redistributing students and teachers over the set of schools almost at random might be an improvement.

There are times where you absolutely must use manual mode if you want to get the best image.

Low light or twilight scenarios is just one. For example higher ISO adds noise that you need to take into consideration and can make the decision to opt for a darker image and bring it back to life on the edit, but without the crazy noise.

The same thing happens with action/movement. You may sometimes want to actually blur some movement and not freeze the action entirely or hit that spot where the focal point is sharp but the background is moving. (ie. taking an up close pic of a dude kayaking some crazy river)
> should only be used in studio settings.

I would tweak that to say "controlled settings". I occasionally use manual in the same fashion as you, but I don't have a studio, or anything close to it.
Agree on everything. Plus shoot RAW and limit auto ISO depending on your camera's ISO performance for a headache free post processing.
Cameras have a min and max ISO, not a "native" ISO.
> I don't think this is strange, since this is how it works in physical. A home has a simple lock, a business a few better ones and a security system, and a military base has 24/7 armed soldiers on guard.

Yes, but this is not how it works in cryptography and there's no reason it has to. Should we deliberately weaken crypto systems so that they work similarly to some other arbitrary system? The question seems to answer itself.
Your point is completely correct. A tiny bit for the full possible return being greater. Google IPOed at $85. And closed at $100. Either way, the initial price is between $42.50 and $50, accounting for the stock split. It’s between 24-28x based on yesterday’s price (before 2.5% drop today).

I don't think it's a tech crash at all. Sure, we've got companies being propped up by VCs that are doomed to fail (Uber, etc), but the fundamentals of other big tech companies are sound. They have customers, they sell products, and demand for some of those (advertising and support services) are and will be perpetual. The signals for the downturn don't really seem to have anything to do with tech in particular.

In a crash, I'd expect the VC money to become more cautious... for a bit. But that can be a good thing, too, because it means you aren't competing with garbage companies that are always operating at a loss.

>many comments in this thread show contempt for the organizers

Go watch videos Jörg and channels like Taofledermaus made a year and a half ago that started this whole thing. Jörg was making videos on how to make extremely powerful crossbows that could defeat riot shields, stab-resistant armor etc and then got outraged when he got a strike and had some videos demonetized.

Same with Taofledermaus, a channel that makes improvized ammunition (firing nails, ball bearings, coins, etc out of shotguns towards dolls they refer to as Taylor Swift and other random objects). Taofledermaus flat out claimed YouTube was deleting views and likes and even uploaded a video trying to show 'proof' of the 'conspiracy'.

Those two channels, two of the first people fighting this fight, were demonetized because they were making dangerous improvised projectiles that advertisers didn't want to be a part of and then tried to claim it was a conspiracy and YouTube was trying to punish them.

Now these guys are getting a few bigger names on board after a year and a half of trying and making a big fuss about it.

As a SWE and "retail" RE investor (I flipped 2 houses with ~15% return), a big problem with using online data to determine the value of the house is it just doesn't calculate the condition of the house.

You can get gigabit fiber throughout Asia and Europe for as low as $20 a month with no cap. There is no "discount" for fast connections in the US. The ISP cartel price gouges the whole country and because of their regional monopolies have no incentive to invest in actually having the provisioning to support the speeds they advertise.
I imagine that what they meant to refer to is what we remember as "the bureaucracy" (the system of career policy-makers), but that term now has the connotations of inefficiency etc.
As a current/former Tumblr user this is all too real. Like The Tumblr userbase has been scattered across IG, Twitter, Mastodon, Patreon, Reddit but the sentiment is still that we're still homeless right now.

Nowhere on the internet had/has a community like Tumblr: aggressively queer, feminist, full of stupid memes, amazing independent art, obsessive nerdy fans, and this general mood of sillyness and innocence and joy and positivity.

And the porn really was weirdly a reflection of that and part of more people's Tumblr experiences than people are seemingly willing to admit: it catered to niche interests, slanted heavily to by-and-for women, super LGBT friendly, funny and over the top, generally tasteful and artsy, and respectful.
Auto iso is better now, but not that long ago higher iso (above 200 really) would introduce unacceptable artifacts into the picture.

When pedantry goes wrong...?

This article repeats this "TL;DR Lisp is not based on the Lambda Calculus"

But that's not actually what McCarthy said. McCarthy said:

> one of the myths concerning LISP that people think up or invent for themselves becomes apparent, and that is that LISP is somehow a realization of the lambda calculus

"Based on" and "realization of" are two different things. This kind of exaggerated or hyperbolic pedantry strikes me as clickbait. Which is unfortunate, because the article does contain some good content.

If you read the LISP I manual, you will see that concepts beyond the obvious lambda notation are used directly from The Calculi of Lambda Conversion. Notably, the distinction between forms and functions.

Clearly, we're splitting some very fine hairs here.
They're basically renaming the options, but they will remain. Great clickbait, Buzzfeed! Never change.
And in the lyrics case, it wouldn't have helped because Google wasn't scraping the lyrics. Google was paying a third party that copied the Genius site.
So the difference is that they are renaming secret to private to reflect that they will be scanning the content of groups to review for content?

“the company has built a new tool called Group Quality, which scans all groups for content that breaks the platform's community standards — regardless of privacy settings”
Doesn’t deter from your point at all. But Google’s stock has increased over 27x since IPO 15 years ago.
Ask HN: Is “employee fraud” a legitimate thing to worry about in hiring?
> Long story short: I got laid off from a startup and really needed a job. I wrote on my resume I have multiple agile/scrum certifications, such as SAFe, CSPO, and CSM (which is a lie). I recently got hired to be a product manager at a corporate company. My new boss decided to search for my name on the Scrum Alliance website, which he is also a member of, to obviously no avail because it doesn't exist. To buy myself time, I sent him a photoshopped image of a certificate with my name and certification # on it, and said there is probably just a snag with updates to the web search and to not worry about it.

My question is: If management finds out, what are the possible consequences that could result from this? If I get fired for my dishonesty, I will accept that. Mostly, I am panicking about potentially getting sued.

*Ethically, I know what I did was wrong. I'm not proud of it. I did it because I was only trying to meet the desired job qualifications, and didn't have the money/time to properly get the certifications while unemployed, which I know is not an excuse. I am 100% not advocating people use dishonesty like this, because as I am seeing it does come back to bite. I take full responsibility for being an asshole for doing this. All I wanted was to find a job quickly to pay the bills...
That's entirely possible, which is why I brought up all the other points of naming patterns, histories that are almost all deflections of Chinese criticism and no other participation, multiple downvotes on multiple comments within the same few minutes when the general trend is in the other direction, etc.

These are all hallmarks of disinformation campaigns from other groups and the same patterns happen on other sites. I think that is worth a discussion. A moderator jumping in to say it's 'poisonous' to point this out while giving no information to support that is pretty disgusting.

I tried FB in early ~2000's because I had a @stanford email, but after a coworker's wife started tagging people and editorializing randomly, it was clearly more of a liability than value. I had emptied details and most content but kept for some old photos, but finally migrated and purged it this year because it's basically a vehicle of surprise privacy monetization to make Wall St. happy. If a social media service instead were instead subscriber- and donation-supported, it wouldn't develop such perverse incentives to sell-out its users to stay afloat.
