I hardly see how the OP is FUD. What the article states is true; just because you can opt-out doesn't mean it's wrong.

Where you are drawing the line is the opt-out to disable it, as opposed to the convention of opt-in.

Think about companies in the 50-200 employee range; As a sysadmin, I have to purposefully go out of my way to put that domain (use-application-dns.net)[1] in my root resolver, and point it to NXDOMAIN.

I can't do it if another provider is managing my DNS (ISP, cloud service...); it also doesn't actually guarantee that it is off.

> If a user has chosen to manually enable DoH, the signal from the network will be ignored and the user’s preference will be honored.

The basic IT mantra has been 'If it aint broke, don't fix it.' Mozilla itself is moving fast and breaking things; which is why we have standards in the first place.

For god sake, there isn't even a proper RFC to select yes or no to DoH.

I, as a sysadmin, must not only implement the domain in my resolver, but I also must keep in my mind that if a user is using Firefox, that there are things it does internally that are not right, and it is easier for me to have my users on Chrome, because it is less of a headache for me.

I'm actually not that sure about the rationale. It wasn't optional - their offer said "$52.88/hr for the first 12 months, $110,000 a year after the first year". I'm not sure if it's to incentivize working more the first year, whether it's "probationary" (in case the person doesn't work at all?) or if there is some other form of logic to it.
Most the people who got sick or died was from THC related vape products, ecigs had nothing to do with it.

Also, they didn't ban flavored alcohol or flavored THC products.

They really need to stop being a nanny state about adults and stop use the agenda of (Think of the children!) bans.

Kids (Young Adults) did start using juul, because gas stations could sell them easily, 7-11 banned those juice flavors awhile ago.

The Feds banned an entire market for adults, that has nothing related to the THC vitamin E grease fiasco...

Vaping is hell of a lot healthier than smoking, but of course not-smoking is best. But I hate when nanny stats bann something for political reasons, just like they are doing with trans fats (donut scare!) or cities with sugary drink taxes.

I read you work in Italy Apple Store, and this is the first time I hear Apple Store has commission.

Does anyone know any other region where Apple Store operate with commission, one of the things John Gruber likes to pride Apple are their employees don't have commission and therefore could give candid advice.

Or did All Apple Store has commission now since Burberry Queen took over?

DNS is hierarchical, but that doesn't matter because it's effectively controlled by ICANN and big name registrars. "permissionless" is what we need, but you can only get there through decentralization.

This is a perfect usecase for blockchain, because we need permissionless writes to a distributed ledger. The energy costs of running the blockchain would likely be equivalent if not less than the current system (what's the energy cost associated with running Godaddy?).

An alternative would be to scrap the idea of memorable domain names all together, and move toward something like QRcodes + tor like public keys + petnames or similar.
I loved Lisp upon my first exposure in the late 80s in university. Then I "had" to professionally abandon Lisp leanings because I entered the game industry which required, at the time, a commitment to 8-bit assembly code. No problem. Lisp remained a hobby.

you have stories in the US of people dying from lack of access to insulin or rationing insulin.I wouldn't question that they "truly wanted" to live. but political organizing in the US around healthcare and other social benefits seems to pale in comparison to European countries. to say nothing of how low voter participation is.
That's a rather slippery slope...

While I do agree that producing thought-provoking technical demos has some (perhaps considerable) merit, the Media Lab still presents themselves as a research institute, not some creative agency making conceptual mockups/videos.

When something comes out of the Media Lab (or any other MIT-affiliated organization) the expectation will be that even if the ideas may not be workable immediately, the biggest technical/scientific hurdles have been overcome, i.e., they're not pure science fiction. MIT has built up reputation and goodwill so the public gives them benefit of the doubt.

Presenting half-baked, unworkable demos as research is to take advantage of (and exhaust) that goodwill, painstakingly cultivated over decades by the entire MIT community.

Yes I know this isn't a popular opinion here, bring the downvotes.

On a serious note about this issue, I think if you're on the side of making it official for the President, then you should be on the side for enforcing freedom of speech on the private platform, preventing the silencing of Conservatives and the like. It has already been used to prevent Trump from deleting tweets or blocking users (that's why there is spam on his feed, usually people can block those trolls, but he is not allowed to)
I would like to read more comments from actual drivers from this apps instead of people saying things they think about them and their lives.
If we put the sensor in the slits themselves, what we would observe is individual photons passing through one slit or the other. What the double slit experiment shows is that there is still something of a wavefunction (whatever that actually is) at the moment the photons pass the slit, because that is how we get the interference pattern.

As before when we observe the photons, we see them as single discreet particles. However, in principle this seems to be the same situation as when we detect photons passing through a slit.
Hackers Can Be Deadlier Than Nuclear Attacks
The rising nuclear tension shows that for many people the end of humanity is approaching. A forgotten point is that cyber attacks can be much more dangerous.
Even though all human beings agree on how dangerous nuclear weapons are, today's nuclear arms race has become remarkable. The United States and Russia, the two countries with the most nuclear weapons in the world, are preparing to abandon one of the most important pacts. North Korea also started nuclear missile trials again. Iran has long been remembered for nuclear weapons. Some people are afraid of a new nuclear arms race.

Although this threat is really frightening, there is another danger that is bigger and less aware. Now the world lives digitally and hackers are a much bigger threat. Even today, even in state-supported hacker attacks, the most 'data has been stolen', it is stated that external interventions can be made to electricity and water infrastructures. US and Russian hackers are mutually providing unauthorized access to each other's infrastructure systems.

If cyber attacks are targeted to vital services, deaths will not occur suddenly, such as nuclear weapons, but may cause more people to die in a given process.
I have no idea how you live with that salary in NYC. Maybe go to a bar and meet some people in tech/finance, they'd paint you a better picture of reality.
It's the age-old minimum wage debate over again.
Many people who are actually successful with day trading (as opposed to selling pitchforks to miners) don't like to brag or talk openly, or post flashy pictures on social media.

Why? Because they don't need the attention. They don't need people begging to mentor them for free, or share the strategy they've worked for months or years, or ask for free stuff since they didn't really "work" for it like lottery winners, or criticize their livelihood saying it can't be done. There's just no point.

> A few years ago, I did not realize that new grads at companies were being paid more than I was! I switched companies to fix that.

To everyone chiming in with how wild the salaries are, this is really the point. If you're doing competent work for less than the local market average, you're paying your company for the "opportunity" to keep working with them. Sometimes that's the right call for both parties. Most times it's not, and OP's transparency helps workers protect themselves from exploitation.
For ML practitioners out there, this is a great method for a field also in a replication crisis.
I thought that's why most people drink coffee.

I optimally sleep ~9 hours every day and start to feel tired if I sleep less for 3-4 consecutive days. I bike to work (and generally tend to go as hard as I can, so heart rate tends to spend a lot of time in Z4 or so). I almost never drink coffee so it takes me 2-3 hours to "fully awake" but I don't think that's unnatural so I don't mind it, I let nature run its course.
I think you're taking a problem of "opportunity + practice = success" and pointing out that you had opportunity but not success, and therefore opportunity is irrelevant.

> socialization is often meant as "acting like the popular kids act" (though it doesn't sound like you're using it that way)

My usage is more a matter of "understanding the social skills that are not formally taught". In particular, I'm talking about things like understanding social cues, when/how to be supportive, etc. There are absolutely negative social skills that can be learned this way, so you're correct there. But even a gang of jerks has social structures and interactions, and someone that never got much practice/exposure at those will struggle to even succeed in joining a gang of jerks. (Not that doing so is such a great aspiration)

> I am regularly shocked at how crappy kids are to each other

Totally. I recall previous articles (I believe on HN) about how parents hate the shows on the Disney channel because they demonstrate/teach terrible social skills for tweens. (Bratty children, idiot parents, etc).

Putting kids in a group won't teach them how to be good people and I didn't mean to imply that. It _will_ teach them to be a social group. These ideas are orthogonal.

Cute retronym, but the act makes sense; if the WH says communications on a particular channel are considered official, then it's just sensible to record them.
I suspect it's partly because there's a complicated employment arrangement going on, with the employees being sorta employed by the payroll management company ("employer of record"), and sorta employed by the company they actually work for, which then pays the payroll management company to handle all that stuff so they don't have to.
Being able to film video simultaneously from one phone with with two different perspectives was impressive.
On a high level I agree. The way I see it, "impossible" is the wrong label. What you must do, though, is have a rational basis to believe you're in (making up a number) the top 0.01% of people skilled in that area. If that's true, then it might be a reasonable plan. For the other 99.99%, it's a bad plan.

And when I say rational basis, that's its own challenge. There is a huge potential for emotional thinking disguised as rational and for self-delusion. Everyone wants to believe they are the top 0.01%, and most of them are wrong.
Yeah, until you need to pay rent, loans, credit cards, or buy groceries, or prove you are paying folks at least minimum wage.
The numbers look right to me. Try applying to FAANG!

Does this mean the bill has not (yet) been passed into law? Or has it been voted on already?

As for the more frequent vesting (as opposed to the 1 year cliff): I heard companies started doing that to reduce or eventually eliminate the signing bonus. The theory being that a more frequent vesting schedule will accomplish the same thing.

For example, one recent offer from a big tech company was for a 6 month vesting schedule with no cliff. Most are switching to quarterly vesting schedules with no cliffs.
Is there anything the President says or does that isn't recorded and preserved?

5 years is enough time for the underlying cell technology to have shifted somehow and carriers will eventually stop supporting devices that don’t work on their new networks.

You probably can’t take a 10 or 15 year old cell phone and expect it to work on any carrier out there today.

There is an upper bound to how long a phone will even worn on a network...

I suppose I’m using it moderately by using some quasi social platforms like HN.
Suppose a farmer wants to lock in the price of milk produced the farmer's dairy. The farmer wants to sell futures and sees a market of 18.30 / 18.50. These prices are probably being shown by a market maker. The farmer sells the futures to the market maker at 18.30. A few minutes later, Starbucks would like to buy the same contracts, to lock in its costs for the next month. Starbucks buys at 18.50.

These two participants have paid the market maker, in total, 0.20 in spread. Here, the spread is the fee the market maker charges for facilitating liquidity. At this point, the net sum between the three participants is still 0. However, we also need to factor in the fees charged by the exchange, any taxes that may be charged on the transaction (for example the SEC fee in equities), clearing fees, and funding costs.

On the whole, the transaction between the three participants was negative sum. However, the market maker is running a business by reflecting those costs, and the risk premium, in the spread. Even though this transaction is negative sum, it, presumably, still provides economic value to the farmer and Starbucks.
Only French state owned.

There are 8 nuclear powerstations currently operating in the UK, and they are all owned and managed by EDF Energy, the UK subsidiary of the French state owned EDF.

Obviously there is a large difference between French and Chinese state owned companies
1. I think they have a little more to complain about than a typo, and subsequent response.

2. Did you read the article? The name of the act is just a silly prod. The act would have the law treat the President's personal social media accounts (ie @RealDonaldTrump) the same way as official social media accounts (ie @POTUS)

Shit, maybe Pierre is a triple agent, a regular Bond good guy.

That was the neocon dream of the 90's -- let China into the world economy and the PRC will either fall or be forced to accept democracy. 30 years later it's pretty clear that was foolish.
This paper finally get published! This is basically Dremel (or Big Query) capable of handling both real-time and ad-hoc analytic queries. Also, being able to serve the production traffic and do efficient ad-hoc analysis on the same data source has a potential of drastic simplification on infrastructures; sometime a scale of data doesn't allow us to use a single representation for all use cases and this fact brings lots of unnecessary complications. Artus also made interesting design trade-offs on performance. I hope more details on this format could be published later.

In Finland the highest you can hope for as an employed software developer is around 90,000 EUR a year, but average is less than 60k. Signing bonuses I've never heard of and if you get stock options, you usually need to cut your salary expectations a lot. Being freelancer you can get to around 150k-200k though. Of course at these higher figures the effective tax rate increases to around 50%
> The US public does not want this, though

Actually a majority of Americans support the idea of single payer healthcare [1], and the number goes up depending on how the question is asked. The problem is the political obstacles, which are enormous given the power of the health insurance, pharma, and hospital industries.

The proposals that seem to be taken most seriously are for a "revenue neutral" tax. The money collected is distributed back to the public, with each person receiving an equal share.
This isn't actually about "get file handle", although for, say, a million files that could take a while. This is about having metadata (columns, types, ranges for range partitions, etc) already available to be used in query planning.

But these kinds of optimizations only give you dramatic benefits on very specific and relatively small subset of queries rather than on some realistically mixed workload, so to have a fair comparison you'd need to run this realistic workload on a realistic dataset.
> I wish a physicist could explain here how the very notion of "diameter" has any meaning for an object whose size (IIUC) belong entirely to the quantum realm.

Usually these are describing expectation values of radial positions.

For the well-understood example of the hydrogen electronic orbit, the Bohr radius is the expectation value of the radial position of the electron. The electron has a wavefunction Ψ; When you calculate the expectation value of the radius r using Ψ (= \int_0^\infinity Ψ* r Ψ dr ) you find a value of about 0.5 nm.

People will drop the subtlety of the "expectation value" and just say "the hydrogen atom has a radius of about 0.5 nm".

The issue for the proton radius that the article did not delve into: There is currently more than one way to measure the proton radius. One is scattering (pitch another particle at the proton, look at how it "bounces" off), and another is spectroscopically (look at the energy levels of the electron, deduce the proton radius from the interaction of the electron orbit and the proton.) These methods do not give the same answer.
> How is p uniformly distributed under H0?

That's the very definition of a p-value! The mapping of data to p-values is chosen to have a uniform distribution of p-values when the data is distributed according to the null hypothesis. That's the property that makes p-values interesting.
Makes me wonder if the original was even more better :)
