I once worked with a pretty good customer support manager. They had two mechanisms for trying to handle that. Both were based on having the support people categorize issues. (Presumably based on error messages, some manual review, symptoms, etc.)

They'd then compile a weekly-ish report of (1) top 10 most common issues they were seeing, and (2) issues that were new this week or went up a lot from previous weeks.

That information as pretty easily digestible for the development team, and it helped us understand the size of the impact of known issues. And ones we didn't recognize, we could request more information on.

The support manager also made a point that if a new issue came up and seemed to be particularly prevalent or major, they would proactively contact dev instead of waiting for someone to read a weekly report.
For Firefox, this may occur when the address bar autocompletes from history, pulling the https:// entry. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t have anything to do with prioritizing HTTPS, just whichever is more frequent in your history (if you visit the HTTP enough times it will switch to picking that for autocomplete). If you don’t use the autocomplete entry (for example, by tab-completing it but deleting the trailing slash), then it will use HTTP unless you actually typed https://.

I find it very unlikely using helicopters is the best solution for fires.

Prevention is one, here drones can help publicise the damage and show scientifically what's happening and help change policy.

I also think if a person is flying a drone is so close, a fire engine also possible, but I suspect there are not enough since they are boring and don't get enough funding.

And YES heaps of people fly drones and dont get in the way. The nature of this is occasionally sometimes they will.

I see no reason we can't use tech today to harden helicopters rather than a stick a head in sand solution of just blaming drones. Drones are here to stay, we can deal with the possibility of a flock of birds, we can deal with a drone 'sighting'

Is it really? 99.9% of the people who read the news do nothing to use that in any way to fight for the weakest in our society. For most, news is nothing but a list of topics for small talk. A few work towards using it to understand topics and make informed decisions. Even fewer actually act on anything they hear in the news directly.

I sort do this a different way. I have a custom domain and use that with Google's G Suite. I set the catch-all email to my email. Then everything I sign up with gets a different email address, like amazon@<mydomain>. I use a password manager to track all the different emails/passwds. This has helped me catch the water company giving out my email. I got junk mail asking me to sign up with my email utilities-water@<mydomain>. If a particular email starts getting spam, I just blacklist the To: address.
I said "a subset of that." The top 50,000 is absolutely a subset of the top million. But you don't need to conjecture about that number 50,000. Again I'm saying the top million most-visited sites is where all the profitable sites likely fall. (Not that they're all profitable.)
The links have _ostensibly_ pointed to the destination for quite some time, at least for me. The current techniques they use for tracking clicks do not require otherwise. They just use pings[1] where supported, and a JS mouse-down event to switch the destination when clicking elsewhere.

God, Medium has the worst login experience of any site I use. What makes them think they are too clever to be usable with a password manager like the rest of the damn internet? I usually just reopen the article in an incognito tab instead of going through their stupid “send me an email!” bullshit login.
Hopefully someone else will chime in with better suggestions, but I do understand.

By nature, I have almost no emotional intelligence and it held me back for the first 10 years of my career and so stayed at one company for almost a decade when I left after year 9, I was only making $7K more than year 2. But I wasn’t comfortable leaving because my skillset had atrophied and I knew my interpersonal skills sucked and I would probably be fired from anywhere else.

Over the next ten years and five jobs, I had to be very introspective and think about how I could do things differently. It took about seven years for me to get caught up with where I should be.

While I have learned how to build relationships and navigate through corporate America, I found at my last job where I was the dev lead, that I still sucked at communicating with non technical and differently technical (IT infrastructure) people and wasn’t great with management.

My only suggestion is reading the “48 Laws of Power” and ignore one or two of the less than ethical “laws” and listen to the Manager Tools/Career Tools podcast. They have podcasts that date back to 2005. The easiest way to navigate it is to download the Manager Tools app and go to the “Hall of Fame” section and then go to “Communication”. There are podcasts about “Prewiring a meeting”, the levers of power, and dealing with different personality types (DISC).
And until AI can talk to the people who are paying for the code and figure out what, exactly, they want the code to do, they won't be able to write useful or correct code. (Think of how many business people you've met who can give useful specs to a developer.)
From what I recall, their approach is mostly what you might call "special situations." That is, their analysis looks for significantly incorrectly priced items, and purchases/shorts them.

The Medallion Fund is kept fairly small so it can capture these items without changing their prices substantially. That is, the fund owners have to take their 40% return each year out of the fund.

Fascinating content. As someone burdened by working in a wildly non-denotative language (Python) but who would love to return to functional programming someday, the vision is very appealing.

I like FP because it allows me to be lazy; quoting the author:

> A denotative language resembles a dictionary or encyclopedia, where one can understand an entry by reading it and what it references. A non-denotative language resembles prose, like a novel, which you have to read cover-to-cover to know what happens, even if you only care about one specific character.

I agree, birdshot is very unlikely to harm anyone. All missed shot are unlikely to harm, in fact. Larger things like buckshot would be more likely to harm others, though still it's very low. Actual bullets like 45, 223, 22, or 9mm, accounting for ~50% (1/2) of most sold calibers in the US in 2015 [0], will do some real damage. Shotgun gauges only account for ~12% (1/8) of the calibers sold.

All said, it is still MUCH safer to not shoot at a drone at all. Let the local police take cafe of it.

Heck, get a super-soaker or something kind of water-ballon slingshot, if you must.

But common business hours are set, as the name says, by the common business. And many things in our day to day life in the end are determined by the sun. So if there is a permanent offset in the wall clock, business hours are going to shift to compensate. So changing the time zone might have a short-term impact, but long-term, will be compensated away. Most people have difficulties to raise in the dark, so the day to day schedule will be adjusted so that they have to raise in the dark only for a short part in the year, like 2 months. A time setting which would mean to get up in the dark for 4+ months is going to trigger a compensation.

And of course, as a consequence, French people do many things "later" than in Germany, be it work, lunch or dinner times.
Yeah, this is what I always do as well. Python is going EOL in less than two months. I hope that helps.
Even a fabless semiconductor company (e.g. nVidia, Apple, heck, AMD) needs to spend hundreds of millions to tape out a leading-edge IC. It's a capital-intensive business, and would present quite a risky bet for any upstart competitors. Also, patents.

Seconding this. I probably should've kept Rule 43 in mind when looking at this site but let's just say that the "Pokemon" topic on the site is less than family friendly.
If you're interested in this, you'll likely enjoy Gregory's interview on Masters in Business (a Bloomberg podcast) from last Wednesday. Also, Gregory's book will be out in a few days.

If memory serves, in the aforementioned podcast Gregory mentions that the RenTech generally holds most things for a few days (sometimes a few hours). However, they don't engage in HFT or HFT-like trading. This was surprising to me as I assumed it was all reasonably short holdings (relatively speaking), although I knew they weren't a pure HFT firm.

I also seem to recall Gregory mentioning there's some kind of running joke internally that their trading systems aren't nearly as good as they should be (or like what you would find at HFT firms). Given the intellectual and monetary heft within RenTech perhaps that's a bit of false modesty on their part.

I'll be interested in reading Gregory's book as he does seem to have put together a lot of novel information on RenTech. However, he does seem to suggest that very little of the day-to-day workings of the firm will be explored, which would obviously be immensely interesting.

EDIT: RenTech has several funds, it should be noted. Some of which still take outside capital. What I've said above may have only been applicable to the Medallion fund.

Not reading the news does not equate to ignoring what’s going on around you.

You don't use a lot of hotel, airplane, airport, guest or otherwise captive portals do you? Most will gracefully redirect but a lot are painful. Add in things like HSTS (can't just go to Google), HTTPS Everywhere, etc and it's downright annoying to get to the portal.

One thing a lot of people do, even if they're not politically active, is discuss their concerns with others.

That may inform others and possibly even change their minds on important issues.

So even if you're not out there marching in protests or volunteering for your favorite political organization, you can still make a difference by informing others.

The effect of this is evident on HN, which used to be almost exclusively a navel-gazing tech and startup news site, but has over the years become more politically aware.

I believe that things like the recent tech employee moves towards unionizing, and various protests at companies like Google are partially motivated by information employees at these companies received on sites like HN, where important political topics are discussed and people are informed.

Sticking one's head in the sand by ignoring news makes it less likely that you'll ever be motivated to do anything yourself and less likely you'll help motivate anyone else to act either.

Yes. There’s a grounded argument for choosing quality over quantity, reading news on a short delay instead of at every notification, choosing a limited number of trustworthy sources—basically the opposite of what social media encourages you to do.

But deciding to opt out entirely is kind of like dropping out of high school because you won the lottery. Can you get away with it? Maybe, for a while. Are you ignorant because if it? Of course.

As someone who is stuck on a very old version of python (2.7) on win32 due to Reasons (vendors, basically), how I wish I could even try to install pip; unfortunately, it will only recommend upgrading to a newer version of python when I attempt.

We have the tech to create no-fly zones around the paths of individual aircraft, including other drones. It could become cheap enough for cheap drones. That could let the skies be densely filled with flying machines while being safer than now.

Imagine a swarm of personal and news drones hovering around a fire, but in harmony with assorted emergency response craft, dodging away with a generous safety envelope. Hopefully the current chaos is transitional and we can have our own eyes in the sky without getting in the way of the solution.
Google is unequivocally evil. It doesn't matter how much good they do when they are being evil.

this is moving the goalposts. the parent never said it would be ubiquitous, he said "we would have the tech". Waymo is currently offering driverless rides to the public, therefore we have the tech. no, it's not ubiquitous, and there's a lot of caveats, but it exists. driverless cars are a thing.

Which would be odd, if true (haven't heard anything like that from my French colleagues). As France is in the same time zone as Germany, even outside of DST, it is basically in a zone of permanent DST. When in DST, it is shifted 2 hours versus the sun position. Actually the true noon for the non-DST middle European time zone is at the eastern border of Germany. So whole Germany and France are "ahead" of the time even without DST.

I have never seen this campaign, though I would have some reservations about flying a drone around a fire my curiosity may get the better of me. Just anecdotal evidence, buy it's entirely possible to be technologically competent and ignorant.

Additionally, my father isn't overly technologically competent but does own a drone, they've been fairly standard gifts for family members who buy everything for a while now. I can easily imagine him and his golfing buddies talking about getting footage of a fire on their drones.
It depends on the mix of circuits. Memory don't follow same design rules as logic so can scale quite well. Logic density may well be limited more by power dissipation than by design rules. In other words you can pack some circuits a lot denser than others.

I do agree that it is frustrating for someone from the outside to understand exactly what kind of scaling one can expect.

Ding Ding Ding! Google is working against their users' interests, and most of them don't realize it, because computers are still magical appliances to 95% of users.

That doesn't mitigate Google's evil, it makes it worse.
It becomes stupid when circumstances change and the once-adaptive, now ritualized behavior pattern is not re-examined. Indeed, even suggesting that may have become a taboo in the society. If there exists a meme (in the original sense of the word) that a certain mushroom kills you or makes you very sick, it’s fairly easy to amend that meme once someone figures out that after boiling it twice and throwing away the water it’s actually harmless, delicious and nutrient-rich. On the other hand, if eating the mushroom is abomination in the eyes of Lord, your God, that meme may prove to be considerably more mutation-resistant.

From what I heard, that's not true. Due to some ancient group of people being "on guard duty", while others not, the night owls seems just to derive from that group of people that was on guard duty. Guaranteed this is a just a voice I heard, it explains why my grandfather, my mother, me and my daughter all wake up late and prefer going to bed late.

And to be clear, we adapted to the sleep time of my daughter, not the opposite (it's the only way to get sleep as a parent)
It's unreasonable for most to go entirely without news. A good compromise is to get your news edited and curated.

I highly value having subscribed to The Economist for a couple of decades now. I try to avoid real-time news and read The Economist once a week to get global news. The weekly tempo reduces the need for the publisher to rush out an opinion on something that recently happened.

I know The Economist has biases. I think I understand most of these biases and take them into account.

I wish there were similar options for local news.

What stopped me from keeping up with the news was noticing it being off whenever I knew a lot about the topic in question.

I can only assume similar discrepancies across every topic.
