> I find this for a lot of maths - I have often wondered why they don't include the intuition and the process that led them to the result.

On the most basic levels, because journals don't want it and many referees want it taken out. (There's still the mindset that physical space on paper is a bottleneck, since most of the big journals also have printed versions.)

On a less cynical level, intuition is highly non-transferrable. What gives me the intuitive understanding of my result probably won't help you (https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/abstraction-intuiti...). I think that the established school of thought is therefore that, rather than my giving you my useless esoteric intuition, better to give you the results of crystallising that intuition into a transferrable formalism, and then allow you to decode that formalism into your own custom-built intuition.

Regarding 1. the risk can also be substantially lower for PE firms, because A.

Same approach, they also pretended to be from the bank calling about an irregular transaction. In this scam, it seems they hijacked her home phone line. She tried to call from her cell phone, then they called back to her home phone and said all communication should be from it, to ensure she was at a different location.

I'm pretty confident he means keeping politics out of games' content.
(One) problem with micropayments is that you're then in the situation of constantly being in a state of "Is the rest of this article worth 10p to me?" Years ago, Clay Shirky described this as a problem of mental transaction costs and there's a lot to be said for it.

What I think is more likely--but still pretty speculative--is that an aggregator (like Apple News) could create a sufficiently large stable of publications to offer as a subscription competitive with the handful of pubs like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal that are strong enough brands to go their own way. One thing that's very unclear is whether the mass market is willing to pay the cost associated with that subscription. Probably not.

Today's evidence suggests that people are generally more open to subscriptions than pay-as-you-go for content. Music in particular has pretty much transitioned to subscription for the most part.

Resisting that takes strength. $2m to take more money and keep quiet? I'd probably quit in shame or be fired eventually, but that's life-changing money.

I do wonder if we could take some amount of money from China and simply not give them what they ask for though when they start making demands, or giving them the run-around.
This is a fantastic talk. Well worth the time spent watching it.
> It is taken granted that if you are reading a high level maths paper, you are capable of deriving the authors' working intuitively.

I don't think that many research mathematicians expect that the readers of their papers will be able to derive their work intuitively. I know that I don't expect this, and my papers are no works of high-flown genius, just highly specialised and domain-specific so that even the people most interested in using the results probably won't be as interested in the techniques.

This article reminds me of two things: the very low pay of pilots just starting out, and Abigail Disney.

Article from 2017 citing low pay as a reason for pilot shortage:

https://slate.com/business/2017/09/how-we-ruined-airline-job...

To quote Disney:

"If I were queen of the world, I would pass a law against private jets, because they enable you to get around a certain reality," Abigail Disney recently told The Cut. "You don't have to go through an airport terminal, you don't have to interact, you don't have to be patient, you don't have to be uncomfortable. These are the things that remind us we're human."

Marshall McLuhan remarked that photography turned the entire world into a brothel:

Also:

> The camera tends to turn people into things, and the photograph extends and multiplies the human image to the proportions of mass-produced merchandise. The movie stars and matinee idols are put into the public domain by photography. They become dreams that money can buy. They can be bought and thumbed more easily than public prostitutes.

That sounds like underlying malevolence and sociopaths making excuses to try to duck responsibility which get accepted and perperuated. So very not new - forba close to modern example see the Irish potato famine and how Malthusianism was used to excuse exporting food for short term profit and leaving them to starve because "their population was unsutainable". Since someone who opens fire on a crowded highway to "reduce future traffic" is still a callous psychopath.

The solution then is accountability to those in power - for negligence. Treat the snake oil salesmen who sell racism in a box like the sociopaths who sold dowsing rod bomb detectors for both have shown a callous disregard for human life in pursuit of profit. This isn't radical - not doing it is radical and messed up.

Hey, we actually get this question a lot :) We feel like there is still so much to do in this problem space and by talking to our users, we have realized that we can move the problem and solution a little further. Here are our 2 cents:

1. Automatic tagging. Users find it difficult to find which sessions to watch, in lack of which they end up wasting time thus degrading user experience. Searching by URL’s and actions is also not enough. We are using AI-based tagging to identify the interesting sessions so users can just watch those and get insights. Our automatic tagging reduces the number of sessions by 95%.

2. Actions: We allow users to show some widgets or personalize their site based on real-time engagement. This gives them a better chance of converting them.
Component Analytics: Sites built with React, Vue, Angular have many dynamic components and require visual analytics on them. We are building a solution for that and this is completely new.

3. Usability: Using a chrome extension we will make it easier to consume heatmaps and session replays by overlaying these analytics on the product.

4. Our bot behavior detector (to identify ad fraud) is completely new and the only substitute people have for it is to match final revenue with each keyword and turn off non-performing keywords. With us, they will be able to block such users and save money on such clicks. This could be an entire product in itself and the number of sites doing banner based ads is quite large.
I consider it a glitch in the simulation that the guy who may have saved us from self-immolating on carbon with an alternative that may prove out to be just barely good enough... is named Goodenough.
I think a lot of people also don't make a distinction between punitive and rehabilitative justice.

Do I want to punish people? No, the threat of punishment seldom deters people (there's even that saying, it's better to ask forgiveness than request permission). I don't care about punishing people, I care about having a better society. Helping people who've done wrong fix their mistakes and be better citizens is what I care about. If punishment did that, then sure, let's do it, but it doesn't.

People need to get past their need for vengeance, whether dressed up as justice or laid bare.
One overlooked criteria of a good developers is that they can focus on the business side.

Good devs should be able to talk business flow with ease to stakeholders and teammates alike as good as them talking technics.

Not to brag, I'm one of those lucky people having a high technical capability. And what I learn in the gaming industry these past one and a half years is that being focused on business needs is the most important thing if you're conducting a business, being technically excellent is second.

It'll in the long run prevent developer and requirement gold-plating, minimize tech debt, maximize team velocity.
So it's an amazing tool but actually not so amazing?

That being said, having worked on chromium myself I can attest to the size of the code base being such that pretty much every tool shits itself.
>I'm aware of that. But they are not exactly the same, are they?

Yes, in minor ways I already mentioned.

>Isn't that what usability and polish are all about?

Yes, and as I already wrote: "Apple has done that for both platforms.". You don't get a lesser Metal or a lesser APFS on macOS vs iOS, or less UI integration.

>I know, and that's why we all love Snow Leopard. Why the regression since then?

I'm not particularly fond of Snow Leopard over other releases, nor I see much "regression since then". There are several legendary Siracusa reviews until Yosemite (after which he passed the torch) here: https://arstechnica.com/author/john-siracusa/

Here's e.g. Mavericks:

Over the past three years, each successive release of OS X has found its way onto all of my Macs in less time than its predecessor. This year, I may have already gone Mavericks-only across my whole household by the time you read this. Barring any unforeseen bugs or compatibility issues, Mavericks seems like a no-brainer upgrade to me.

And here's Yosemite:

Viewed in isolation, Yosemite provides a graphical refresh accompanied by a few interesting features and several new technologies whose benefits are mostly speculative, depending heavily on how eagerly they’re adopted by third-party developers. But Apple no longer views the Mac in isolation, and neither should you. OS X is finally a full-fledged peer to iOS; all aspects of sibling rivalry have been banished.

Do you see much talk about regression there? There are also post-Siracusa reviews on Ars for each macOS release up to and including Catalina.

>They release updates alright, but what about the quality? The fact is overall, macOS has gotten slower, buggier, and uglier with every release.

Uglier is pretty subjective if not downright wrong. The new dark mode is great, and the UI is as good as ever. What was better? The skeuomorphic years? The candy colored Aqua years?

Slower is easy: it's 100% wrong. In fact, can you show any number of it? If anything, memory compression and battery savings in recent releases made the macOS more performant, and dropping 32bit apps (and double-loading of the same libs for 32/64) even more so... And APFS is also a big improvement over HFS, and Metal is faster than the previous stack and has already given significant performance boost to FCPX and other apps.

I'm not sure what exactly you find "slower" then...
This happened to my wife a few months ago. I heard her part of the conversation. We thought something was wrong. I logged in to my bank account and watched the money drain out of our join account. My wife couldn't login to her account (the phisher changed the password) but they drained all her accounts. I called our bank within the hour. They were very reasonable with resolving the issue and returning our money. The phisher was attempting to purchase gift cards from a Walmart 500 miles away. It was easy to prove to the bank that we were scammed. I hope others are just as lucky and can report it in time.

ninja edit: we called and froze our credit immediately

I conflated two numbers. Everyone was mentioning that $25 is twice the average wage in America (which is a little off). If you use what I feel is a more accurate baseline - the average wage of a college grad in any area across the country. $50K is a better number.
Yes, OP gave this number to the fraudster, not realizing it was a password reset authorization code. OP thought it was a code that established that the person they were speaking with was a legitimate representative of the bank, since they had the power to generate a code that came from the bank.

Horses for courses. I've had both my whole life though presently I have two cats (male siblings). I'd love to get another dog but after having to put down the last two, one due to cancer and the other, a shepard mix, who had Degenerative Myelopathy and could no longer walk, was too much of a mental drain. I don't want to deal with the heartbreak of that again. Plus im high anxiety so it's a maddening panic when it comes down to those decisions. Takes too much out of me.

Cats are easier in some ways (self cleaning, no walking) but they can be a hand full as they can get EVERYWHERE. Nothing is safe from them and they love to play and need attention just as much as a dog. So if you don't play with them, they will find things to play with. That is why they love knocking shit over; they're entertaining themselves and maybe sending us a hint. I kick myself for not leash training them and taking them out with the dogs. The neighbor walks her dog and cat together and the cat seems to enjoy it as much as the dog.
>My experience is that a dog requires a minimum of 45 minutes walking a day, day in, day out, for years on end.

Bragging time:

You haven't met my dog. He takes maybe 10min/day (and that's being generous) (washing him weekly amortizes to ~5min or so). Walking adds time on top of that but is not strictly necessary. If you don't walk him he'll laze about in his corner like he always does but eat less. He won't even let you know that he needs to go to the bathroom other than perking up his head when you walk through and if the "wrong" person tries to let him out he'll hold it until you clip on a leash and drag him out or the "right" person shows up.

I dont think Blizzard are in a lose position at all, they've already made a ton of money. Worst that will happen is the gravy train is a little thinner.
One of these again. I struggle to form a coherent opinion on this one. Yes the player broke tournament rules and yes you can argue that he should be banned on that basis alone. But oh my god. Even if they banned him just on the basis of enforcing that rule rather than pampering to the Chinese market (and that's a huge if) the visuals of this are so predictably bad.

What meeting can they possibly have had where the options were "Just reprimand him in private" or "Ban him, get into the news cycle and face weeks of public backlash" and they landed on the latter?

It's hard to imagine the decision wasn't almost completely fuelled by Tencent's part ownership of Blizzard and Blizzard's stated goal to expand their marketshare in China. If so, it devolved from a company increasingly known for just poor decisions and communication (mobile Diablo announcement anyone?) to a company that publicly and blatantly prioritises shareholder interests over ethics.

And let's be frank; there's not that much anyone can do about it. People can claim they're uninstalling Blizzard games. And I'm sure some do. But the next time they release an objectively good game everyone's back in.

Star Wars being a prime example. That was a stunt, to remind us of the old, bad movies that used to do that.

The viewer could figure out backstory with a few well-placed references in dialog, or from clues as the story advances. In fact, Star Wars gave us those clues anyway, so the title scrolling into the distance wasn't even useful that way.

When a director uses bad movie tropes for their own sake, that's one thing. But using them instead of directing a good narrative, that's lazy and a squandered opportunity to show us a better movie.

And yes, the radio show example is good. They needed to do lots of dialog, because that was the medium; they had one hand (both hands?) tied behind their back.

But in a movie, shutting down the visuals for a static backstory dialog is almost always a mistake. Because you can be doing so much more than that!

Has this intensified recently? I thought this was already going on to a degree. I remember reading a story on HN awhile ago about a lawyer for hire who could get any change he wanted through Wikipedia's system. It'd be a disaster for Wikipedia if China et al had similar power... though I suppose I already pass Wikipedia over when looking up controversial things like US politicians.
I hardly notice my dog when we walk. I'm of course aware he's there, and we exchange looks every now and then to make sure we're still aligned on which way to go, but the thing i enjoy the most about our walks is the total peace and quiet, both of the surroundings, but also of the mind.

I can walk my dog, enjoy nature and just let my mind wander off to whatever it finds most interesting at that point. I don't attempt to control my thoughts, i simply let them wander.

In a way i guess it's like meditation, and yes, i also enjoy walking in the rain, perhaps even more than in fair weather - though 0C and sleet is testing my patience :)
