Ah, maybe hardware issues. I will say, I have an 8 and the camera randomly broke on mine, and when I talked to someone who repairs them, she said that lately many of the 8 cameras have been breaking.

That said, the repair was fairly easy, it was a $30 camera and 20 minutes to repair it.

Python vs. C++: Selecting the Right Tool for the Job
Don't know about counterfeiting, but when I tried to order yubikeys via German amazon, every single one of the blisters looked suspiciously as though they had been tampered with[1]. They were opened juuust slightly on the side - enough to potentially slide the key out and in again, definitely something that you could miss if you weren't paying close attention. I placed a second order and the exact same thing happened. It was quite weird and I've since ordered from yubico directly.

They may take a path of having employees be scheduled who opt in to have their hours/time be scheduled and get guaranteed hours/rides.

If you don't opt in to be scheduled you may be lower on the priority list and not have as many rides, but your flexibility still is in your own hands.

It would give incentive on the individual to want to opt in for the hours at the loss of personal freedom if that is what they want to choose.

Ok yes, it is named that, but what the theory postulates is really just that "when Schrodinger opens the box to check on his cat, he himself is in a superposition just like the cat was -- and what it feels like to be in a superposition is that you don't notice you're in a superposition, because your superposed states each only observe one cat."
As roeal_v pointed out this deal requires that that transaction not go through. And again, Revinitiv is being purchased for only 4X earnings (which are themselves 3X the LSE's).

Fundamentally though I don't see why an exchange is worth much. Yes it sees all the deal flow, but it can sell info, it can't trade on it (else, apart from getting in trouble with regulators, it would lose all its customers).

It's not hard when you have government gifted statutory monopoly and are also given control of listing and clearing regulations.

The government ban on any competition to HKEX means that their net profit margin was 61% last year.

As activist investor David Web put it:

"On top of that, HKEX doesn’t even do its job well as an exchange, because it has been exempted from the Competition Ordinance and has fees, profit margins and archaic practices that only a monopoly could get away with."[2]

>Exchanges don't do clearing

True, but this is HKEX, which stands for Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. They operate 4 clearing houses in HK.

update: 61% was first 9-months. Fully year was 58%[1]

My comment isn't concerned with using 'personal' time for such endeavors. My concern is with the implicit conclusion that how fast you can get something up and running (a 'weekend' in this case) is an argument that you can and should deploy a new stack in any given enterprise.

You'll find a lot of times the champion of the new hotness moves on and leaves someone else to maintain the old hotness at costs that were never factored into the original deployment.

As I noted in another comment, it's a trilemma where you have to pick and choose your battles. The initial deployment time is rarely the most important factor when introducing a new stack within an organization.

The fact is, there's a lot of people paying under the table, for these very reasons. One estimate from 2012 of the underground economy in the U.S., i.e. transactions of goods and services other than illegal drug trade, was around $2 trillion[1]. That was during a severe recession; it's not clear whether the subsequent recovery has exacerbated the situation or encouraged more people to work "above ground".

One thing is certain: as long as there is friction & obstacles to hiring part time help, there will be people trying to work/hire under the table.

The label "Many Worlds Interpretation" is a popular label for the theory, but it's not a particularly accurate one.

The original paper by Hugh Everett was titled '"Relative State" Formulation of Quantum Mechanics'.

The underlying principle of Many Worlds isn't actually that there are many worlds. Is that there is a singular wave function, which is the true reality. The things we refer to as "worlds" are massively-complicated entanglements and superpositions within that wave function, of which we—for some reason—can only observe one position of that superposition.

We observe all individuals who began to day trade between 2013 and 2015 in the Brazilian equity futures market, the third in terms of volume in the world, and persisted for at least 300 days: 97% of them lost money, only 0.4% earned more than a bank teller (US$54 per day), and the top individual earned only US$310 per day with great risk (a standard deviation of US$2,560). Additionally, we find no evidence of learning by day trading.

Ask HN: Anyone else see unauthorized inquiries on their credit report?
Got a CreditKarma alert for Verizon Wireless hard inquiry 9/3. In my mind, I'm like "what the hell"? I look over the full credit report (only on Equifax) in Credit Karma then jump to Equifax to start instituting credit freeze and fraud alert. Created transunion and experian and alert them too. Filed FTC and Verizon Wireless fraud reports soon after. I filed dispute with Equifax asserting it is fraud and they say to contact Verizon. I contacted Verizon and they say it is fraud. Created another dispute with Equifax. May have to take legal remedy to get it removed if it isn't done in less than a month.

I hardly use my social security number anywhere, so I think it is very much related due to Equifax data breach unless there was another breach somewhere else. I'm wondering if any others, who were affected by the breach, have mysterious data on their reports.
“fundamental law of highway congestion”
“As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself; because only through ordering what you know by comparing every truth with every other truth can you take complete possession of your knowledge and get it into your power.”

- Arthur Schopenhauer (1851)

But I wanted to make an additional point myself, which is: the key part of reading for information is not consumption, but rather memory. It doesn't matter how many books you read if you only remember a small percentage of each one. Like any educated person, I've read thousands of books in my lifetime. And yet I could probably only name the details of a few dozen. This strikes me as horribly inefficient.

As such, I've been trying to incorporate Spaced Repetition (with Anki) into the reading process itself. My initial idea is to do two things:

- add specific lines and information into Anki. E.g. quotes, statistics, and so on.

- write a brief one-paragraph summary of each chapter or, in shorter books, each page. Then add this summary to Anki.

So far, I've been able to recall far more information about the books I've read, even if it takes 5-10x times longer to read them. Overall, I'd consider that an effective sacrifice.

Aye. I said by the end I was charging that much. I started out at $65/hr billing maybe 20hrs per wk. 10 years is a long time.

Before Obamacare and without the ability to bargain as a large scale employer, my insurance options were limited to "defined benefit" plans where the maximum they'd pay out in an emergency was limited to about what you paid in in about a year or so. Effectively no emergency coverage, just incidental stuff.

Another fun feature: preexisting conditions. For which insurers will pay $0. It's pretty horrible, and one state where I lived passed a law so the pregnancy could not be considered a preexisting condition for insurance purposes. Which meant that if you were pregnant you were denied coverage at all. By everyone. Without exception.
The best way to block it would be to provide direct support for it. Rather than each site rewrite the user experience with Javascript, the browser could support a standard paginated HTML. Then it could render that as infinite scroll, or pagination, at the user's preference.

Now that the Javascript genie is out of the bottle, you can't stop single-page apps from doing their own navigation. But if you make it simple enough for developers, many new sites will choose to support a standard HTML feature rather than continue to manage it themselves.

That would, of course, take time and be the usual HTML-evolution clusterf*. But if Google or Mozilla decided to start it, in conjunction with one or a few major blog/social-media providers, it could probably be widely supported within a decade.

Or they used to have a drawback that is no longer relevant. I'm thinking for instance that the world's longest continuous culture considers 'dreamtime' to be more important in some ways than the waking world. It may be that the functions which used to require 8 hours of sleep can be done during waking hours as well, perhaps through greater caloric intake or more articulated mythologizing.

> your superposed states each only observe one cat

Again, I have to ask: what do you think "many worlds" means? Because what you've just described is exactly what the advocates of the MWI describe when they talk about "many worlds", which they absolutely do. The MWI literature is festooned with references to "copies" or "versions" of yourself, and "the branching structure of the multiverse".

>"Our equations don't work out, let's give our error term a name and act like it's all good"

Not really. People make this argument for both dark energy and dark matter, and some people try to solve both of these (not necessarily at the same time) by trying to modify general relativity.

The problem is that we have observational evidence for both of them, and no alternative theory has come close to the level of accuracy and precision as GR has.

That isn't to say that we shouldn't be looking at potential alternative explanations to DM/DE, and the fact that there isn't scientific consensus on them at current doesn't mean that they're wrong (Wegener basically ended up losing his career over proposing continental drift was a thing), but at present, scientific consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of both DE and DM existing because we have more evidence for them than anything else, and the models that incorporate them are more accurate and precise than anything else.

That's not to say there isn't room for improvement in GR/SR/QM, etc. And there are some things where the math breaks down and we do sort of just shrug. Topically, black holes are among them - at least when it comes to the singularity and infinite density. In reality, the black holes we see out in the universe almost certainly don't have a point of infinite density.
It's not fine, considering the zero cost of enabling TOTP 2 factor authentication.

Everything you say is true. Nonetheless, if you read papers written by self-identified advocates of Everett, they invariably refer to it as "many-worlds" and they talk about "the branching structure of the multiverse" and "copies" or "versions" of yourself. So regardless of what you or I think Everett meant, the present-day advocates of his theory are clearly trying to advance the idea that there are, in point of metaphysical fact, many worlds.
I really like how Ben framed Apple's announcements through the lens of a services strategy, i.e., it's not about the hardware anymore. Instead he presents a solid argument for how keeping lower-priced cost-optimized SKUs around increases the addressable market for Apple Services. Aggressive promotion of Apple TV+ as a way to drive new subscribers to other services (an aggregation theory play) is going to be a fun thing to watch over the next few years.

The only quibble I have with this piece is where Ben got the information about the Apple Arcade games being a fixed cost: "the company is paying a fixed amount for those games overall".
Not impossible but highly unlikely probably means impossible, practically speaking.

Unfortunately this falls into the "too good to be true" category. A very unscientific categorization but surprisingly accurate in real life.

To me the worst conclusion is that "Additionally, we find no evidence of learning by day trading."
Which leads me to believe that despite your best efforts at obtaining knowledge, luck in timing still plays too much of a role in the outcome. That doesn't add up to a viable alternative to a regular day job.

Pro tip: 95% of the problems with the power connectors are due to dust trapped inside the charge hole. Yes, there is a lot of dust in there, even if you can't see it. No worries though. You can solve that problem in 2 minutes. Here's how:
1 take a clip, or something similar (thin and rigid) and use it to dig out the dust from the connector hole in your phone
2 be surprised at how much dust you actually find
3 keep digging out the dust
4 your phone is as new! Try charging it and you will see that it won't disconnect randomly anymore.
Hope it helps :)
