Big tech companies generally have tons of talent that they waste on having engineers basically stop each other doing technical things. It's a waste to have smart and expensive people work at cross purposes, but it frequently happens for internal political reasons. Sometimes a company in this situation gets the fear of God put into it and realizes that it actually needs to compete. At this point, all the red tape mysteriously disappears and all the process overhead that very serious people claimed was 'essential' disappears without the sky falling. Consequently, the company can now actually compete, and long-timers within the company who blocked progress for years get embarrassed, sidelined, or fired.

This dynamic is the reason competition is essential. Without external force compelling action, every organization trends toward stasis.
I may suppose that this is a result of several less fortunate iterations (bulldozer, anyone?) which led finally to a machine that checks all interesting boxes.

You can't build a new thing right from scratch, but you can market intermediate imperfect results to cover the losses somehow; I suppose that's what AMD did a few years ago.

Now they have finally hit the 10, and reap the benefits.
You think that sexual dimorphism doesn't apply to .. brain development? Frankly, it's absurd to claim that's an inappropriate subgroup. There are certainly valid criticisms to this particular paper, but this sort of analysis is standard and eminently justified for mammalian development work.

I'm also not sure what 'low a priori power' means. Statistical power is well defined and depends only on the sampling involved. You don't need to make any assumptions about it, Bayesian or otherwise.

As for the statistics, if anything the low p-values they get are even more impressive given the modest power of these analyses. The effect size must be enormous. Granted the gross PPI response didn't give a dazzling p-value, the followup is quite convincing, showing obvious quantitative changes by a number of metrics, particularly the NAcS Dopamine time-response.

I'm curious where you think a multiple-comparison adjustment needs to be be made. The authors are quite focused on a narrow analysis of the systems implicated in observational PCE studies.

Where I agree is that I would like the authors to have discussed the sexual dimorphism to some degree. It would be handy to know if there is any pre-existing literature that suggests that PCE affects males more than females; all that I could find was one that found effects in females, not males. Someone in the field likely has some reasonable ideas about what might be going on. However, I'd hesitate to say the issue is avoided; Nature has strict length requirements and such a discussion would necessarily be somewhat meandering.
Fun note I learned while working on this post: it's very tricky to build data visualizations that work well in both Light and Dark Mode.

I had used the ColorBrewer diverging palettes for the rainbow box plot color schemes, but they're too light and have low contrast when inverted.
How to keep GitHub forks up to date via GitLab repository mirroring
Does it matter? The notion of biological sex is a big debate right now within certain communities.
I'm 100% for this idea but is a government law really the best way to go about this? There are already social media alternatives that are decentralized and give users control and nobody uses it.

There's an increasing amount of bureaucracy in the tech space that it is going to make it very hard to innovate. Laws typically deeper entrench bigger companies because they have the resources to have full legal teams and departments dedicated to compliance. Startups do not.
I don't think UAC was tbat annoying to be honest. Where it asked for confirmation and admin privileges, it made sense. Most UAC buttons were labeled and from a security standpoint, it was quite a solid experience. Last time I used Apple, it felt like a flashback to Vista to me. Prompts for every program I downloaded, leaving me to keep the system security settings open for the first hour or so to download appropriate installers and password prompts every time I went to change a setting. Like in vista, the places it asks for admin permissions usually make sense, but the contrast was quite stark compared to the Windows and Ubuntu dialog flow I was used to. I found the "the system prevented you from opening this program" dialogs reminiscent of the super-criticised SmartScreen dialogs that block(ed?) Windows 8+ programs from unknown sources.

I have a CRM/business intelligence product that targets a very specific niche of an industry. I'm the only employee, although I am currently looking to expand by hiring a sales person and a support person.

Here's a startup idea I want, by the way. If this exists somebody please tell me:

I'm good at creating products. I'm a good programmer, I can do design well, I understand marketing well, I can sell things, etc. However, the things I am TERRIBLE at are basically anything involving paperwork. I hate these tasks, and I am terrible at them. I want a company that I can hire that will take care of all of my backoffice/HR tasks. So:

-An accountant.

-A lawyer.

-An HR person who can deal with compliance around hiring and firing staff.

Many of the aspects of software businesses can be looked at services, and fit well into an engineering mindset. Hosting is from digital ocean, costs $f00, and gets mentally compartmentalized. I don't care very much about how DA deals with routing, provisioning their own resources, etc. I tell them in abstract terms the things I want, and they provide them in a package for me to consume. Twilio does similar things for me for telephony. Coworking spaces do this for physical offices.

I want more of that for more traditional parts of business. Essentially I want to hire a controller in the cloud (or at least the way that controllers have been used at various companies I have worked at in the past). IF this exists, please reply with the name of the company! Maybe this means this is something I should start myself.

The unfortunately truth is many of the Electric Vehicles centered sites in US are Tesla fan sites more or less.

If EVs have to truly succeed they have to be coming from more than one brand.

- Mitsubishi Outland PHEV
- Hyundai Ionic series
- Chevy BoltEV

Lincoln Aviator PHEV, Prosche Cayenne Hybrid covering luxury SUV segment.

There are tons of EVs and PHEVs out there which pretty much cover a large swath of vehicle size already.

The problem is these sites that are supposed to promote Electric Drive train jerk-off weeks on Tesla rumors and Elons tweets.
The Zwickau factory I mentioned a couple of times produces 297k ICE cars a year (1350 a day, 220 days a year), and aims for 330k EV cars in 2022 (1500 a day, 220 days a year).

As the other poster notes, selective intelligence leaking has been going on forever. And if there is a lack of Ex-Bush intelligence community members in the press, it is because the whole torture thing made then step away from the public eye.
> For the same reason that Ransomware.app shouldn't be allowed to encrypt all your documents, or Spyware.app shouldn't be allowed to upload all your private photos to a marriage scam agency in Slovenia. Yet, this is the default behavior for applications on all Desktop operating systems. Until now. It'll take a while to iron out all the kinks, especially with legacy Apps, but it's the right thing to do.

This makes sense only for 3rd-party apps, but I’m talking about apps that have been notarized by Apple themselves.

Terminal.app comes pre-installed in every Apple computer, it is developed by software engineers who work for the same company that makes the entire operating system. Why do I need an alert asking for permission to execute this command: “cd ~/Downloads/” ? You could argue that you only need to allow this access once and it will carry on for future interactions, but that is not the point. The point is that Apple is focusing on increasing the security of the system the wrong way, these alerts overwhelm regular users to the point they will mindlessly click “Allow” every time an alert pops up, hackers will take advantage of this and assume users will grant system-wide access to their malicious programs.

I was happy with the previous versions of the “Security and Privacy” settings. By default, you could only open apps downloaded from the App Store. However, if you were tech savvy enough you could enable the option to allow apps from 3rd-party identified developers, and if you really wanted to take risks you could enable the option to allow apps from unidentified developers. It was your choice, and the options were “hidden” in the correct place. But today’s operating system is just overly paranoid to the point of becoming an annoyance even for security minded people like me.

Watching WeWork's IPO fall apart was satisfying because it felt, in part, like a small bit of justice being served.

Sadly, this outcome for Neumann is the undoing of both that sense of satisfaction and of justice.

I think these are valid criticisms of school/school life and I agree that there is room for improvement. I don't feel that these issues mean that school doesn't value academics or supports the addition of things that don't have academic value. Operating an education system at scale, on budget and effectively seems like a herculean task and I'm willing to accept the end result won't be perfect.
CarPlay on my iPhone 11 Pro has no hysteresis around day/night mode. It will literally go back and forth as frequently as every two seconds - extremely distracting at the periphery of my vision.

Update on free software and telemetry
We have launched important updates to our Terms of Service surrounding our use of telemetry services. Starting with GitLab 12.4, existing customers who use our proprietary products (that is, GitLab.com and the Enterprise Edition of our self-managed offerings) may notice additional Javascript snippets that will interact with GitLab and/or third-party SaaS telemetry service (such as Pendo).

For GitLab.com users: as we roll out this update you will be prompted to accept our new Terms of Service. Until the new Terms are accepted access to the web interface and API will be blocked. So, for users who have integrations with our API this will cause a brief pause in service via our API until the terms have been accepted by signing in to the web interface.

For Self-managed users: GitLab Core will continue to be free software with no changes. If you want to install your own instance of GitLab without the proprietary software being introduced as a result of this change, GitLab Community Edition (CE) remains a great option. It is licensed under the MIT license (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License) and will contain no proprietary software. Many open source software projects use GitLab CE for their SCM and CI needs. Again, there will be no changes to GitLab CE.

Key Updates:

- GitLab.com (GitLab’s SaaS offering)and GitLab's proprietary Self-Managed packages (Starter, Premium, and Ultimate) will now include additional Javascript snippets (both open source and proprietary) that will interact with both GitLab and possibly third-party SaaS telemetry services (we will be using Pendo(https://www.pendo.io)).

- We will disclose all such usage in our privacy policy, as well as what we are using the data for. We will also ensure that any third-party telemetry service we use will have data protection standards at least as strong as GitLab and we will aim for SOC2 compliance. Pendo is SOC2 compliant.

If you have any questions please contact us at support@gitlab.com
As a solo developer, I tried maintaining two native code bases for an app. It was first iOS native only. The Android version came later, and never reached feature parity. It was just too much work.

If you were to start over, would you still choose Ionic and Cordova, or go with something else like Xamarin or React Native?
Which is just gravy, because the whole DoH crowd is against ISP monitoring and selling it.

The best book I've read on this topic is Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow. [1]

They’re good reasons for Python but not necessarily for Rust, where you are expected to care about such details by design. It’s one of the language’s differentiators.

Nonetheless a cookbook for converting strings for different use cases isn’t a bad idea at all.
An upvote for that just to prove that we can agree as long as we stick to the facts however harsh they are.

This should probably be an HMAC construction at the very least, and MD5 in general just should be discarded entirely in favor of BLAKE2b, SHA-2 or SHA-3. And ideally, it'd actually validate the rest of the contents as well.
You do you, but if you're giving python support in HN comments, you might be here for a while!

I go back and forth about the helmet issue personally. Though I've almost never not worn one.

My general feeling is that it's not much of a burden to me. And while the cases where it's actually going to help are narrower than most people think (especially people looking from the perspective of a car impact), it does improve the outcome in those cases quite a bit. So it's worthwhile.

If nothing else helmets are good places to mount lights, which are definitely an important safety measure! :)
You can do this with the Google Keyboard. Long-press the comma on the left side to open the settings menu, and then it's Preference > "Show emoji key switch". Set that to off and it should hide it under the same comma key long-press.

Edit: I should say this is Android 10 on Pixel 3a, not sure about other versions/manufacturers.
For what it's worth, the FAQ on his blog dances around this topic:

"Running Shor’s algorithm to break the RSA cryptosystem would require several thousand logical qubits. With known error-correction methods, that could easily translate into millions of physical qubits, and those probably of a higher quality than any that exist today."
what you describe does not seem to correlate with reality.

Judging entirely by my experience with IBM- put up or shut up. Every interaction I've had with IBM the last few years has been shit. It's to the point that all of my confidence in the entire organization is gone, regain my confidence. Put up or shut up IBM.

While you can essentially write C in almost any language, C++ is particularly well suited to it.

AMD's apparent velocity is likely due to multiple factors, first and foremost is Intel has essentially been stuck, trying to shrink die sizes (something AMD has essentially outsourced), suffering from shortcuts leading to Spectre/Meltdown and the performance regressions due to patching those, and inability to get their new architecture out the door.

All this coupled with really good execution from AMD, new architecture that has turned out to work really well and not really having to deal with Spectre/Meltdown regressions.

So yes AMD is doing very well, Intel's current problems makes them look even better.
How much of this is hiring and how much is just trucking along? Who knows.
It being the value they already tied themselves to? It's technically correct, but Neumann seems to have understood they could either buy him out now and save some of that value, or not buy him out now and lose most of it.

You have to implement the methods but things like associativity and the existence of identity are not enforced.

Additionally all IO functions in haskell are monads with a return type that is a functor called IO that can contain another type or nothing. You cannot print something to console without invoking a monad in haskell. The clever thing about the IO functor type is that it can only be instantiated by a true IO function that touches some external thing, there is no other way to instantiate this type.

So for example the Instantiated type IO(int) cannot exist unless someone called a function that receives integers from a socket. And to extract the int from the functor you have to use the monadic bind operator.

I had that too, and 'disk write' errors (which definitely are not). Ended up repartitioning and reformatting, and they went away (though the install and upgrade process even beyond all that still seemed hugely buggy - at one time the fresh install said install couldn't complete. And then it did. With no intervention).
There is that, but there is also the fact that when the conversation is cognitively challenging, the guest cannot relax as much. More relaxed guests tend to reveal more of their personality in my experience. The main reason I watch Joe Rogan Experience is to learn what sort of human being the guest is.

Thank you, however I still don't understand how it works from what you said. What is an "upstream DNS provider" in this context?

I'm just not seeing how Comcast can't still know where you going, since obviously you are routing your traffic through them and they see the IP address; how is the IP not giving them enough information to figure out where you are going? Is encrypted DNS only going to work for a handful of sites running in some special way, or is this supposed to work for everything?
I think the author has made it as simple as possible for users and developers with basic skills.
I've been doing DNS over TLS with pfSense for over a year now.

The problem as I understand it is that Firefox and Chrome will soon default to DoH. Now I have to remember to go in and change default app settings. Ok not a huge deal with just two apps but yet something else I shouldn't have to do.
Facebook is allocating $1B for housing development in the S.F. Bay Area. Google did something similar. But neither of those address the homelessness issue in California, which has passed a crisis point.
It amazes me that they didn't call his bluff. They could have said, "We'll let you keep some of your shares, so if this ever works out, you'll make some good money." Because if somebody didn't put up a lot of money, Neumann would get bupkis. His negotiating position was extraordinarily weak.

But clearly this is about preserving Masayoshi Son's ego. And reputation, of course. Why would he care if he burns another 5 billion if it helps him keep getting future $100bn investments from his LPs?

Yes. Though you have also the option of running a newer kernel (through EPEL but maybe not necessarily)
Eh, I don't see the problem with this definition. Registers are "special" storage locations by their very nature, as opposed to memory external to the CPU.

The term "special register group(s)" is a bit offbeat, but it's perfectly accurate and perfectly descriptive of almost any real-world CPU architecture. The only problematic bit is the plural 's'.
