It this not just a variation on, "if the wrong idea gets out, society will collapse?"

When do we people actually take some responsibility?

To me, it is entirely unreasonable to hold Rogan, or anyone presenting people and their ideas to us, to such a standard.

Secondly, look at how often we see some bat shit crazy paired with a scientist on supposedly "news" oriented major media?

We, personally have to be able to have conversations, learn how to be wrong, ignorant, and critical to grow.

Given that, Rogan is fine. He is airing a lot of interesting humans.

I am not sure I want to participate where such strong thought management is a must for fear of collapse.
>Because this particular company has chosen to produce incredibly complicated financial statements due to a variety of reasons. It's the exception to the rule.

The fact that a career with the title "forensic accountant" exists to decode said financial statements mean that there are many many exceptions to the rule. So many exceptions must exist to support such an occupation that it is viable to say finance is overly complex.

>And Tax Law doesn't represent the entirety of the body of Law that governs a country. Law is an entirely different beast because there isn't a BDFL who can refactor the existing code into something meaningful, and there is no unit testing to ensure the any refactored law will work as intended won't have terrible adverse effects. Legislating is a social experiment, and if you've ever been part of a group project you know how hard that can be with a handful of people, let alone hundreds of representatives or millions of voters.

Tax law doesn't represent the entire body of law but it does represent a significant portion of finance. If that significant portion of finance is as you say a "social experiment" that results in over complexity then tax law is a good example of a part of finance that is overly complex.

>Just like the Underhanded C contest[0] doesn't describe the entire universe of computer programming

To describe a universe of things you need quantified statistical evidence about the complexity of the system as a whole. I have offered none. You have also offered none. The reason is no such evidence exists. This argument makes no movement until someone can offer such evidence as no one can make a definitive statement about finance until such statistics and quantifiable measurements are offered.

>My claims are just as deep as they need to be to discredit yours. I'm happy to engage in a deeper debate, but you haven't invited us to one yet. Right now this is just noise, particularly considering that you choose to take the stance of someone who thinks they're right even though they admit to being a layman, instead of asking genuine questions driven by intellectual curiosity and the desire to become better informed.

Your claims offer nothing. You didn't even respond to all my points. This last paragraph is subtle underhanded insult that comments on me personally rather than the argument at hand.

I have said this to absolutely no one else in this thread except you. Due to the underhanded subtle personal insults you have stated against me in your last paragraph... you are not invited to engage in deeper debate with me, you are not invited to respond to me and you are encouraged to leave. I will not respond to you anymore. You will note that I have done this to No one else in this thread except you.

I'm a co-founder at INTERNAL. My cofounder and I spent years at multiple tech companies building internal tools (i.e. admin consoles) for non-technical teams to interact with app data they need to service customers. We found that most companies never spend enough time and resources to build these tools well, and most engineering teams would rather spend time building their customer-facing product vs building/maintaining internal tools. We launched INTERNAL to eliminate the need for eng teams to build these tools all together. Would love feedback.

And please consider that some who'd like to use k2pdfopt on the iphone don't use Twitter at all, I have a sure example of one, and I hope I could use your app independently from that?
I read this as him sharing this painful experience he had with us, but spinning it to show how devoted to his work he has been.

Though not the US, the Dutch firm DigiNotar's root cert was blacklisted following blatant misuse.

Run by VASCO, the certificate was used to issue fraudulent certificates principally in Iran, though the company also issued certificates used by the Dutch government.

The CA was taken over by the Dutch government prior to being shut down entirely in bankruptcy proceedings. Over 10,000 client companies were affected.

VASCO was spun off to the Chicago, USA, based OneSpan.

> I worry about a generation of children who is given iPads rather than computers.

I’m pretty sure they said the same thing about shells when GUI came along.

> But iOS completely removes the incentive to learn and explore...

I guess I just have an entirely different perspective on this. If the PC was a bicycle for the mind, what we have now is a veritable rocket ship. Consider the devices, peripherals, platforms, APIs, connectivity, distribution, and tooling that is available today for anyone with any interest in creative artistic expression, be it coding, non-textual programming, or otherwise...

Anyone with a inventive flair is going to look at the mind-bogglingly advanced technology that a billion people are carrying around and just salivate at the opportunity that provides.

Modern devices and the modern Internet may placate the masses, but they are likewise catnip and catapult for anyone who wants to code the next great solution for Problem X.
I wonder how these libraries compare to using something like image-rs [0] w/ a custom-exported C FFI extern? I have used that library's PNG decoder/encoder in WASM and it seems simple and small and fast. I think it'd be worthy to include in the next bench round since it's only a bit of glue code away from a "C library" too.

Apart from the words "anti-pipeline", that could describe any of hundreds of events from the past 200 years. Demonizing and persecuting the Sioux, in pursuit of wealth for European settlers, has been going on for as long as the United States have existed.

Even if you know nothing about oil pipelines (and I don't), there's simply no chance this story was going to end with "The First Nations got a raw deal in every interaction with the United States for the past 200 years, but this time it turned out perfectly fine."

Ask HN: Best on-site courses for machine learning or pentesting
It seems I could be able to spend a couple of months next winter to concentrate pretty much full time to learn something new, and machine learning and infosec are quite high on the list of things I think I'd want to tip my toes a bit deeper. I know there are a lot of excellent on-line resources for both of these, but actual face-to-face classes and peer discussions are something I think I would like.

So, what would be good on-site courses/certificate programs/whatnot that I should have a look at? (Can be anywhere, including places outside North America, I am also willing to pay money for quality, but I do not want to pay just for the prestige.)

Does the recommendation change if I am just trying to fulfill intellectual curiosity or looking for an actual career change?

Or is my best bet actually to just go somewhere alone for a couple of months where i am not distracted, and take hackthebox and/or kaggle seriously for a while?

As an example, I have been pondering the fast.ai certificate courses at University of San Fransisco.

On the pentesting side I have tried to look at live course for OSCP, but haven't found anything convincing so far. (A couple of day's course feels a bit short to actually deliver but maybe I am wrong?)

(I have somewhat technical background ,so I'm not looking at things where we start from print("hello world") and I can code fizzbuzz, know what is nmap, sqli and backprop - at least in concept level... And I am willing to put some work beforehand if there are pre-requirements that I do not yet fulfill)

Wildfires are blazing through the Amazon rainforest in record numbers
I wouldn't eat any shellfish out of the bay or any waters that near a metro area or developed river system. Other fish like striped bass and halibut should be safe.
I've been helping some friends learn programming, and they probably wouldn't describe themselves as algorithmic thinkers. What I found was a good starting point was talking about basic boolean logic and truth tables. The topic was really straightforward, felt foundational and there are tons of examples in all kinds of topics.

From there, we started talking about simple circuits/gates like AND, OR, etc. Then we started talking binary (and other bases), then binary arithmetic. At the end, I went over how integers are stored from a high level (and integer overflow for fun :) ).

There really wasn't a super high-level plan, but exposure to these topics I felt was a great intro to the mindset and we had good fun/progression during the session. From here, with booleans & integers as the foundation, I might feel comfortable writing pseudo-code and such with them, slowly bringing the abstraction higher.
It's tautological only insofar as you are intentionally ignoring context. If we were talking about the rising price of yachts or some other niche item it would be irrelevant, but almost all working Americans commute.

To address negative externalities there are other proposed solutions - such as a carbon tax - which would not require the intentional scuttling of pipeline projects, although I'm not a huge fan of those either.

My solution would be to walk down the list of emitting sources and tackle each individually. Electricity production is #1, and utility-scale anything is much easier to influence at the policy level. Subsidize the shit out of nuclear and remove the regulatory barriers to getting projects done. Ditto with grid-scale solar and wind.

Transportation is next... get the cost of electric vehicles down by encouraging economies of scale. You can use specific positive incentives here rather than broad-based negative ones.

Anyway, you get the point. Given the complexity of energy policy I find the idea that a soundbite-worthy policy would be the panacea to be laughable. Not building pipelines would just hurt the petroleum industry and have nearly zero measurable impact on carbon emissions.
>I'm not aware of any better easily measurable metric

Why should an easily measurable metric which has meaningful value exist? It doesn't seem obvious to me that it should at all. Determining the capability of a researcher is inherently a very complex intellectual task. The desire is to reduce that task to something which removes the need for the person doing the evaluation to read and understand the produced research, or to even understand the field of study in many cases. Perhaps, instead, those who are put in charge of things like awarding grant funding, granting tenure at universities, and deciding who to hire to teach ought to be expected and required to evaluate the research on its merits. This would greatly increase the intellectual sophistication and capability needed for people in those positions, but the alternative will always be fairly easily exploitable because it is easier to goose a metric than to do solid research.

We see the shortcomings of trying to reduce complex intellectual challenges to checklists or metrics all the time. And we simply ignore the alternative of relying upon intellectually capable people meeting the challenge. Personally, I don't understand why.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and expose my n00bishness, and honestly a lot of that article has my head spinning as I google a lot of terms ;)

I've only done web development for a year now and I've seen some cool WebAssembly demos but mostly those are demos of various frameworks (or no framework) reusing random WebAssembly components.

It's cool, but I'm missing from a large web application stance how WebAssembly is supposed to work, specifically when it comes to stuff like you see in some frameworks with state management across components and etc. Is there an example of that?
I don't think it's fair to say TIMATIC is wrong in this instance - it does say visa required and eVisa is acceptable. It did not say the eVisa can be obtained by everyone.
iOS does not have a 86% market share. Not even close. Globally it's closer to 15%. In the US it's closer to 55%.

If you argue that the 86% is the case on certain demographics, then the same can be argued about macOS.

This stuff is important and changes at the whims of bureaucrats and politicians - you need to check this yourself on the destination countries website unless it is a known quantity.

ie Canadians can probably rely on their travel status to the US if they aren't seeing something as a top story on the news. Similarly EU citizens can probably rely on the UK.. oh wait a sec.. Check this shit for unreliable countries !! (like the UK)
The point is, the products aren't really "free". Maybe in pure money terms, but there is a price to be paid to make use of the services, in terms of data.

Why are you asking your end-users to manually install your development dependencies, though? It's called the J D K for a reason. Ship a linked version of your application.

> Apple requires you to copy this to a very specific, deeply nested, hidden system directory.

This just isn't true - you can run Java from anywhere. It's just a tarball containing the binaries. Un-tar and run the binaries like you would any other program. I never 'install' Java on macOS.
Everyone's path is narrowing. They only want adjuncts now. Who wouldn't want cheap labor?
By the logic this tossed-off comment employs, deploying any money whatsoever to help someone get elected, even paying Kinkos for signs, or a website hosted out of an S3 bucket, even for a grassroots reformer underdog candidate, "directly leads to corruption".

Do you have an argument that would be persuasive to someone who didn't think the entire concept of a market economy leads inexorably to political corruption?
From Rogans point of view, a guest seriously bulshitting does that guest a grave disservice.

I guess Microsoft was tired of losing the browser game, so it decided to back the winning worse this time. But I still believe it will be a mistake long-term, as Google will start controlling Chromium's direction with more of an iron fist.

I believe someone else mentioned in a previous HN comment about the ad-blocking API that it doesn't matter if Edge, Brave, or other Chromium-based browsers can "continue to support a Chromium API if Google wants to kill it", because in the end if their combined market share is tiny, most developers will stop supporting that API anyways.

I imagine the Chromium browsers will be going in the direction of Android, where "anyone can fork Android" but in practice you're dead in the market if you don't back Google's Android.
Technically? Yes, Correto is it's own separate distribution that Amazon manages porting upstream changes into. Same as how Azul's Zulu is a "competitor" as well.

Practically speaking, it shouldn't matter as they all pass the Java TCK.

It's funny. I'm from a third world country and there restaurant waitresses will bring a mobile card reader to your table. The reason being that it was very common years ago for restaurants to clone your card and then use it somewhere else; so people don't want to lose sight of their card ever to make sure it won't get cloned.

I like Joe Rogan for the very reason most here seem to criticize him - that he just has conversations with people without pushing an agenda. I learned so much about candidates this year just from listening to a few conversations. He doesn't try to 'gotcha', bring up something they did 5 years ago, etc. There are no shortage of people who do that, and to be honest, he probably wouldn't land the guests he does if he was one of them. In some ways, it feels like uneducated ol me(in the topics being discussed) just having a conversation with someone about something they are interested in.

“It’s very mysterious,” Murchison says. “This cancer was exposed to something that caused this very particular mutation, and has never been seen in any human cancer ever, and that seems to have stopped 2,000 years ago. We don’t know what that carcinogen is, and we’d love to. I guess it was probably something in the dogs’ environment? This is a very crazy idea and we don’t really believe it, but maybe ancient people who owned the dogs tried to treat [their tumors] with some kind of chemical?”

This feels wrong - surely particular carcinogens don't cause particular mutations. Isn't this just chance?

This is widespread with street dogs (and "street" dogs) where I live in Mexico. It can get pretty nasty.

Female dogs will typically get tumor growths on the vagina, and at its worst will look like someone took a meat grinder to her parts. It will blow up in size and at some point the dog will succumb and die.

The male dog will get it in the penis, and typically will be caught sooner as bloody discharge from a male dog is something that raises a red flag quicker.

My mother-in-law has had 3 dogs get infected at different points in time, one female that had to be put down and two male that recovered.
One vote of massive respect is after Jack Dorsey was on the show and Joe's audience gave him hell for letting Jack get away with BS. Joe admitted that he didn't know enough about the topic.

So, Joe scheduled a do-over and had Tim Pool alongside, and Tim acted as the BS-detector. To Jack's credit, he and his lawyer showed up for the do-over (as opposed to just declining).

Will a MSM reporter admit they're in over their head? Not a chance. But there are different motivations. MSM reporters are after the ratings. If a screaming match unfolds, that's more important than anything else. I'd rather have the polite conversations that Joe Rogan leads. Get to know the guests, get to know how they think.

Submarines sound like a stretch to me - the motion of the water past the hull would be driven by the main engine, so it would just be reclaiming some of that energy (and inducing drag into the bargain). Where I can see it potentially working is on Slocum gliders, where the main motive force comes from gravity. Whether you'd get enough watts off the available surface area to be worth the added drag, though... different question.
