The problem with that approach is answering the question of when you have enough to start giving back. People get used to the money. They increase their lifestyle. They save up more to make sure they'll never have to simplify. Then they save for retirement. And their kids college. And maybe more so their kids have a a nest egg. And they gotta take care of their parents when they get old, too. But they won't fit into the wealthy lifestyle, so they save money to afford the best care providers... And then one day they find themselves at 60, retired, with the perfect life, but forgot to actually stop and give back. But they tell themselves that is OK because that was just a silly thought they had when they were 22.

Or, you can choose a percentage to give back, from the first day of your career. It won't be big to start. But it will grow with your success. And if your life takes unexpected turns, and you don't end up old and wealthy, you still gave back throughout your whole life.
It does allow you to compare a chips behavior to what you'd expect from a public design. That's not something that just anyone can do. And if the design has a stage with a few FO4s of latency free and some unused silicon in the right place they could still put in a secret feature without anyone noticing. But it's got to be a pretty simple secret feature for it not to be obvious what's going on.
Miniblog: How conditional branches work in Vectorized Emulation
IMO what really went wrong with Voat was that it was simply not very different from Reddit - the same issues Reddit has with the way it works and the way discussions are handled exist with Voat. The main difference between the two is the people but outside of that they're practically the same centralized, voting-based, hierarchical discussion subforums where discussions are (for all practical purposes) arbitrarily moved up and down and over time away from the viewers' eyes (unlike, e.g., a traditional forum where a thread can be active for months or even years - though that has issues of its own if you are not an active participant).

So at the end of the day it all came down to the people. When Voat first came out i made an account there to see if things will be better, but of course nobody outside those who were forced out of Reddit went to Voat and those were a tiny minority.

"Everyone" was (and is) still on Reddit, so i just stick to where "everyone" is to see new stuff and read what "everyone" things about matters. I remember being out with a friend and Voat was brought up - he also made an account and he also had the same thoughts: "nobody" was on Voat, so he stayed with Reddit.

Often when it comes to Voat and similar sites people point out the hate communities, etc, but really those only happen because most people who are on Reddit simply see no reason to move anywhere else. If everyone (or at least the large majority) moved (or also participated) on Voat then the hate groups would be the same tiny minority that they were on Reddit.

But they did not move because there was no reason to move, Voat simply didn't provide much of a difference to Reddit.

(and no i do not think that being decentralized or whatever antithesis to the comparisons i made at the beginning of this comment would be a reason for everyone on Reddit to move - i don't know what would make people do such a move. If i knew i'd build it and be a millionaire).

We use 1Password for all work related passwords because we can recover personal passwords. I use Bitwarden for my personal passwords because it is not related to work and cannot be recovered.

> "... nor shall the secrecy of any means of communication be violated."

> All wiretapping was illegal in Japan until 1999.

So, at the end of the day constitution is just some document that holds no real power and can be violated once those in power are no longer interested honoring it.

And this is the primary reason for people to have encryption. It's not to protect from some random wannabe hackers, criminals or corporations (which the government can enforce laws against), it's to protect from the government itself. This is why media conversations sound weak and incoherent about encryption and privacy, they are afraid to talk about the biggest reason, don't want to openly and directly oppose the government and instead choose to entertain and dance around all those manufactured ideas.
I skimmed it, but didn't see much mention of something that I think is pretty big to my generation (I'm '83) in the West: counterculture, protest, etc. It's not as big as in the 1960s and 1970s had been (before I was born), but still, it was definitely a pretty big element, and LGBTQ+ and social justice seem to be important topics that affect many people here in the West. Here, much of this is expressed -- or social change is effected -- through protest culture, outrage, etc.

In China, everybody fully supports the government, don't they? I mean that what the Party does, has 100.00% approval rating at all times, there are no Facebook groups for discussing it, there is no activism protesting anything or driving for any kind of change, and everyone there just totally supports everything. (In Mainland China).

So how does this effect their youth and millennials, when they're literally 100.00% on board with everything, and there's no protest culture or counterculture of any kind?

EDIT: little help from downvoters? What am I missing? (It's a really genuine question about a huge difference between East/West.)

EDIT2: Thanks for the replies. I think we're all on the same page so I didn't edit my comment. We all are talking about the same facts. However, my specific question is how this effects millennial fashion, etc. (Being edgy, counterculture, etc.) In mainland China, is Millennial fashion missing these "edgy" or countercultural elements?

I don't know, on a healthy team you should feel very comfortable giving an update on your work without having to prepare.

I've prepared for standup when I was new to a team, but it should pretty quickly get to the point where you don't need that. At least for my experiences, it's not like standup is a major factor in how teammates think of you - that comes from working together with people.
Lens – The Free Desktop App for Managing Kubernetes
I'm not entirely sure how that relates to my comment...

However, I think that approach is conceptually very similar to "FP Multiply" (using floating-point arithmetic) or "Integer Multiplication" (using fixed-point arithmetic) in the GP's linked blog post. Those approaches package the whole "generate digits" idea into a single step, by handling the "split positions" directly as native fractions, rather than having to think of them as sequences in a particular base. These are likely to be significantly more efficient too, since they do not have to do (multiple) division/modulos, which are expensive as the main article points out (let alone computing/storing the fraction representation).

Your approach has the benefit that it is not biased (if the entropy in `r` is tracked appropriately, so that it can be resampled), but Lemire's "Debiased Integer Multiplication" version (as well as the optimised versions) are likely a faster way to remove the bias.
I don't. Often it's "What was I working on again? Oh yeah, that one issue. And I reviewed some code. The thing I'm working on I hope to finish today, maybe tomorrow. That's it. Oh wait, I also deployed a thing."

It requires very little thought.

> Lead developers and managers can't keep track of all the minutae that people have worked on in their careers.

Keeping track of people's skills and expertise is part of their job description. If they don't, how are they going to help them develop and steer their careers? Not knowing every single thing they've worked on is one thing, but knowing (as in your example) who is likely to have used that piece of software, or who has experience troubleshooting performance problems involving that piece of software's functionality, is definitely their responsibility.

> For a concrete example: if I track a performance problem down to a small part of an open-source piece of software, it isn't realistic for managers/lead developers to know if anyone on the team has experience with that piece of the software.

Certainly -- but that doesn't justify having a stand-up meeting every day. It's not realistic for managers/lead devs to know if anyone on the team experience with a particular piece of software, but it is realistic for them -- or for any developer, for that matter -- to be able to find that out without dragging everyone from their desks for half an hour or more.
If the purpose of audits is to find and punish cheating, then auditing in proportion to number of exemptions/deductions would make the most sense. Sure, audit people claiming EITC more, but also audit people claiming lots of exemptions for money transferred to/from trusts or Caymans corporations, deductions for depreciation and business expenses, and every other special provision in the bookshelf-long tax code. Sure, a lot of these provisions have legitimate reasons for existing and are genuinely necessary for some people (like EITC), but each one also has some potential for abuse and when the tax code has thousands of them it becomes like a recipe book for those looking to evade.
Barber said...would you trust a robot to get this close to your ears with a razor sharp blade?

Honesly, true story which might explain why 3 new hairdressers have opened up in my high street in the last year

The barber may not have to worry about robot barbers any time soon, but he should definitely worry about all the new hairdressers that open up as a result of people changing jobs.
Well yeah, that's the "(statistically) selfsimilar" bit. Random fractals like this aren't self-congruent, just self-resembling.
I would also add give people the benefit of the doubt.

Don't assume that just because someone accidentally misgendered you that they were being malicious. They probably weren't. I mean, if you continually find that you see aggressions and 'isms everywhere then maybe you are just tilting at windmills.
It's at least possible that putting drivers on to roads they're less familiar with could decrease the amounts of fatal accidents.

I can give the same answer here that I give to recruiters. The job I do has to improve the world somehow. It doesn't have to be some profound world-changing project, but it has to be a net positive. For example, the project I've been on for the last 7 years moves paper-based processes in small government to online processes. Less waste, saves them money. Doesn't solve the big problems of the world, but at least is one small positive step.

I will consider any job that can make that same claim. And I'll reject jobs that cannot.
>the late 20th century perception of cities as being crime ridden places to avoid

Of course, a lot of cities really were, to at least some degree, crime-ridden places to avoid. The reality is complicated and varies by city of course, but it's still pretty accurate as a sweeping generalization to say that a lot of cities in the 70s and 80s wouldn't have looked all that appealing to the sort of college-educated professional class who want to live in cities today.

As I was saying to someone the other day, with the exception of people in finance moving to Manhattan, very few of the people in my class in grad school went to live in a city when they graduated.

There is a visual resemblence between zoom levels because of the statistical self-similarity across zoom levels. I suppose the word resemblence was chosen by the author as a less strict variation of the concept. But even the self-similarity of for instance the convergence border of the Mandelbrot set isn't completely self-same either.
Digital Walmart for Blockchain Services
It's not even about the time, either. I do my best work in the morning. Almost every morning on my last project went like this: Get into work, grab a glass of water, bring up my todo list, start polishing off the first item, make 5 minutes of really good progress and the bam, standup.

The comparison isn't between the benefits of a good standup and nothing, it's between a good standup and whatever productivity you lost by interrupting the entire team (same as any meeting). You need to make sure it's worth it.

Big fan of Bitwarden! I have tried almost all the password managers over the last few years, and this is the one I finally settled on. Every previous one had some element that bothered me or was principally wrong.
Also from my limited experience in Eagle, the autorouter output is terrible. I mean, it works, but it makes it very hard to "read" the layout and tweak it if necessary. Sometimes it helps do some percentage of the work, but you almost always end up ripping it all out and redoing most of it. Or running it multiple times until you get something that is semi-usable.

Perhaps some kind of GAN approach could be used to force an optimizer to perform autorouting with a bias towards "human-like" circuits that actually readable and understandable.

They interact with a sizeable portion of those communities as they interact with everyone. I would be pissed if they came to me offline and asked for my consent to fill in their data gaps on the presumption that I look too old/stupid to be one of their users capable of engaging online and accepting the ToS. I would also be pissed if they assumed some other group that fits existing prejudices of contractors was a better aproximation instead of by any form of normal sampling.

It is simply a false dichotomy that their data samples are either white college kids or whoever they seek offline as the presumed opposite.

It is more work to get a reasonable dataset instead of a bad one and one or two patches. I think they can afford that work using their normal portal in a way that isn't particularly controvesial aside from the public debates that should occur in general.

Williams: Who Cares About You?
Well, if someone isn't willing to accept that easy evasion of surveillance (normal phones) rather than more difficult evasion (burner phones, code words, walkie talkies) is a benefit to criminals, even though countless criminals are convicted because of exactly that surveillance, there is no common reality left over which to argue, is there?

Fun Fact: Central American cartels have indeed switched to communication channels that are harder to intercept. And boiling down such a complicated issue as cartel violence to a simple issue as phone surveillance is at best dishonest.
If it asks me to identify traffic lights, for example, I also include a couple of squares that aren't traffic lights, like a tree on the side of the road. I'm more selective than a random algorithm, so that correctly gets me labeled as a meatbag, but I'm definitely not providing good answers, either.

At this point, to be honest, I'm really not sure about the effectiveness of this mechanism anymore. It seems to me like a poorly-trained neural net with convincing human-like interaction (e.g. clicks spaced unequally) could produce exactly slightly-incorrect results that let me through. There's no way a smart 17 year-old wizzkid hasn't figured it out already and getting rich selling it to spammers in onion space.

Which movie?
The Apple Magic Touchpad 2 and the 2015 MBPs have the smaller touchpads without force feedback but without the mechanical clicks (they come out of the speakers). I got mine set to silent. This is in contrast to the 2014 and before versions. By the way, Louis Rossmann considers the 2014 MBPs to be best bang of the buck because they have the least amount of hardware flaws, and are relatively serviceable and provide decent performance.
The Myth of Income Stagnation, Again
> and select the "accepted" answer about what Gods opinion is about this and that.

You're misrepresenting the idea behind those sites. The questions there don't ask about god's option. They (usually) ask about customs, about text interpretations, about rules of given church / denomination, about texts relating to a given situation, and many other things. (Of course there are some exceptions) You don't have to believe in them to respect people's choice to engage with religion and look for a way to live their life.

For example recent questions in christianity right now: "Does the Bible explain why God chose Israel?", "What kind of food is Jesus referring to at Luke 22:16?", "What does modern scholarship conclude about the shape of the cross and the method of crucifixion?". Those aren't even questions about beliefs.

To my experience, "context-heavy communication" is rather subtle on HN, more of an inside joke if anything. I can't think of a case where a comment would seem off-topic if read by a transient commenter; it's just that over time, you start recognizing other regulars and their views on some topics, and sometimes you may remark on it. Like, I recall participating in comment threads that branched off into "I recall you saying X on a related thread some time ago; could you elaborate on that?" somewhere deep in the discussion. Or, I know to not reply about topic Y to a particular commenter, because we've been through a long discussion about it some time ago, and essentially agreed to disagree. Or, someone will joke that it's time to submit and upvote some Erlang stuff to HN, and the joke mysteriously stays upvoted because, well, it's an inside joke.
Would blockchain completely replace cloud?

At its core that mostly what it is. The project forced me to get out of my comfort zone as a programmer. I picked up 2 new language/frameoworks (rails and angular), had to learn about building infrastructure on top of aws, deep dived into elasticsearch and then pollish everything enough to get it to a "showoff-able"(word?) state.
In my view 'critical thinking' is real thinking. There is a lot of misinformation and a lot of what we perceive as knowledge is in fact rhetoric. You need to learn to take everything with a grain of salt; sometimes that means you need to unlearn things along the way. Doubt is important.

I think it's good to read a variety of books with opposing viewpoints or with viewpoints which contradict popular ideas.

For non-fiction, the books 'Black Swan' and 'Fooled by Randomness' by Nassim Taleb were eye-openers for me. Also, I found an interesting synergy between Nassim's books and the book 'Thinking fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman (which is a book about human psychology).
Also, I enjoyed reading 'Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World'.

I don't read much fiction but it can be interesting sometimes. I read 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley many years ago and it's a book that appears to be becoming more relevant with time. I find that watching foreign films can also help to diversify my thinking.

Theology and interpretation of scriptures is one of the classic domains of academia (the four domains being theology, law, medicine and philosophy - with the latter including everything from physics to sociology) with extensive research, so it makes all sense for having a forum where solid, objective research based answers are possible. And you don't even have to be a theist to study theology and provide analysis on what the scriptures and associated practice (e.g. Torah vs Talmud distinction in Judaism) has to say on particular situations or behavior.

Because enjoyment of any music requires, at a minimum, subconscious comprehension of its core pattern and timing and brainwave generation in complement to the same.

Older people have brain patterns which are trained, by tendency, to comprehend and and complement patterns and timing which are quite different from currently popular ones.

The old brain, when induced to produce complimentary brainwaves to new music, usually finds this process very uncomfortable while younger brains remain more malleable in this regard.
