Additionally, the "anonymous person" isn't anonymous any longer as they have updated their twitter to use their real identity.
we are all born lacking all the things that we currently possess. just because you don't have something right now doesn't mean you can't develop and cultivate it over time. all it takes is being willing to grind and even suffer a little bit if necessary to develop it. i have the same problem myself but im at a crossroads in my life where i just can't sit around being upset with myself for not having the skills and such that i desperately need to live a functional and fulfilling life, so i understand the difficulty. you're not alone. just know that you can do it if you keep on keeping on, i believe in you!
The first time I heard of this (and one of the examples in the article) was Snoop Dogg performing live at a festival, with a hologram of Tupac. Snoop was the draw, Tupac was a surprise, and it went over very well.

Also, "live concerts" with lip-synced performances seem to be relatively common, for whatever reasons. The audio is pre-recorded in this case, as well as with a solo, dead "live performer". Doesn't seem like a huge difference to me.
If nobody bought Fitbit they were going to keep declining and then die. This way the employees keep their jobs, Fitbit can maintain our increase investment so users and competition benefit. That's what you want isn't it?
The problem I have with paywalls is that I will not subscribe to a random site. Ever. It’s not realistic for me to subscribe to the Times, WSJ, plus all the others. I subscribe to what I subscribe to.

Companies with paywalls will fail. They are failing slowly. The Times is perhaps most successful, but they are still spiraling downwards.

I think smarter companies will be ad supported or Patreon or some other business model that will work.

I don’t begrudge bad companies for trying to hang onto their models. But what’s annoying is when I forget about a paywall and click through to be annoyed.

I would like a feature in HN to filter out those articles because I can’t read them. Circumventing their blocks is possible, but annoying.
I am aware that there are alternatives. But none of them are as good as the original (Apple hold some key patents, evidently) and second, it is just another POS to carry around and eventually lose. Steve is rolling in his grave.
I recently tried to use Swift for a UDP server that was meant to run on Linux. I quickly realized the Network Framework is for iOS/MacOS/iPadOS only.

I ended up using Go and I'm happy with it. I really wanted to do full stack Swift though. Just so I could become better at the language.

You're welcome, there's lots of ways to immigrate - check out the on-line points calculator - sure you can get points for investment, but you can also get points for education, specialised skills, having a job ready etc etc

We do have a socialised health system (high marginal income tax rates are still roughly 10% lower than California) - so we do tend to want you to buy into that - generally we want you healthy and younger so that statistically you'll pay into it for a bunch of years before you draw on it heavily

Didn’t understand most of it, but it is a jaw-droppingly beautiful short, and the stills in the article are well worth the skim.
Fine, then adults need to learn how to handle a bunch of anon/pseudo-anonymous trolls piling on.

Myself probably included.
I got to the Louvre right when it opened on a slow September morning. I strolled right past the Mona Lisa. I actually thought, how come that room only had one painting in it? I went back, realizing maybe it was something special, and stood right in front of it for about five minutes. When I turned around the room was half full. It was not a life changing experience. I don’t remember noticing anything different about it.
I have not completely understood why Uber is spending money researching self driving cars when they could buy them later from a mass producer with a competitive advantage in car manufacturing.

There's a lot of work being done to make Swift a good choice for ML.

TensorFlow for Swift for example - https://www.tensorflow.org/swift
USA, Russia and others point missiles at plenty of places too - that is not a reason or even valid excuse.

I do think it was absurd China (and to a lesser extent India) came out of Paris with an almost limitless potential to increase emissions until 2030. Neither are undeveloped and remotely like the world's poorest.

A more sensible approach would have been to tie subsidy to each, and every trade deal. An EU or USA that truly cared about emissions would impose a carbon or renewables levy on products coming in from China and others. The US would push their pet the WTO to bake in emissions into global trade rules.

Had any of that been done round about Rio, or even as late as Paris, we might have a far more optimistic outlook.
Except that King Edward VIII was a known Nazi Sympathizer. If he hadn't abdicated the throne things could have been much different.
I wonder if this has applications in the food market. Could you make metal cans/bottles that wouldn't hold their contents? (e.g. a ketchup bottle that poured out the last drop) Would the uneven surface provide a haven for bacteria?
If you work primarily on synthetic data as a data scientist, you deserve to get fired. The link is pretty cool though.
That's because Galileo is a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

Saying Galileo is a GPS is like saying Target is a Walmart.
Community. Going some place to share in a communal experience with a large group of people is often more fun than doing the same activity by yourself or with a small group. It is the same reason people go to sports bars to watch sporting events when they could just watch it at home.
Oh I've had plenty of struggles myself. I've gone six months without work and had to spend several years just building my skills to the point where others would find them valuable.

On top of that, I was super stubborn about always working remotely, which I got but only after rejecting one place after another. I would have kept employment easily had I just been more willing to drive into an office every day.

I happen to be young, but I work with plenty of people who are much older than me and greyer too, so I don't really buy the ageism argument. The market is hot and if you can deliver the goods, chances are you can get a job.
I do it well, but only after I completely understand the problem. For instance, I wrote out a series of design documents, then gathered buy in for management to start hiring. I told them that this will take 2 years to complete, but we can start realizing value in the first six months. Every timeframe was hit without crunch, and everything landed roughly on schedule.

The problem is that most people I've met dont really understand what they are actually doing and/or have the leadership to grow people to achieve.

It is not trivial in the least and requires a great deal of lead time to even understand the problem(s). This field is at its infancy, and I dont yet know if my insights can be replicated yet.

I'm thinking of writing a book where I illustrate thought exercises and career challenges that help people grow from junior to senior principal, but it is proving difficult.

I am genuinely curious, what is wrong with Vox? I am only aware of them from random YouTube videos.
By the way, about

> the risks

It seems that, for some reason, people have a skewed perception of the risks that involve using psychoactive substances.

For example, people who consider using a psychedelic drug (like LSD) for the first time, always tend to worry about losing control of their mind as a result of using the drug, and stuff like that.

Yeah, sure there is a risk, but actually there could far more greater physiological risks.
Like, your blood pressure or body temperature could get too high, etс.
The Web Falls Apart
“Competitor” is a fun term to search for in this document.
I've gone back to pirating content, but via usenet instead of torrents. Once you've got Sonarr, Radarr, Omni, NZBget and Plex all playing happily together, it's a sublime experience compared to dealing with multiple streaming sources. I have a web portal (Ombi) my family can use to request content that we don't have downloaded. From there it gets pushed over to Sonarr / Radarr depending on whether it is a movie or tv show. Those then search for the show or movie you're interested in via usenet indexers. If the content isn't available yet (hasn't released on streaming / bluray to get a quality rip) it will track it and download as soon as it is available. This goes for ongoing tv shows too. Usually less than a couple hours after a show has been aired, it will be found and downloaded automatically. These tools also take care of moving the content around to the right location for Plex to find it and renames them so it's all consistent. I can request a movie from my Ombi website and have downloaded and ready to stream on all my devices in less than 10 minutes. TV shows download at around 1-2 minutes per episode. The other huge benefit over streaming services is that Plex allows you to cache media on mobile devices which has been crucial for road trips with three kids.

It's really not about the money aspect for me. I pay for usenet connections and indexers. I pay for the Plex Pass. I pay for the gigabit internet connection to facilitate those download speeds. I paid for the NAS and disks to store terrabytes of content and host all the software I need to get it. I'm okay paying. I just want a better experience and switching between half a dozen streaming services without a consistent search mechanism or offline viewing option just isn't cutting it.
On $250k in investments, you could only sustainably withdraw $10k per year. That's not even $1k per month. That's upper middle class in Thialand, which is not exactly kingly.
> such as ensuring an integer is in a particular range

I find it funny that one of the most advanced programming languages of our day can't do what Pascal did back in 1980 :-)
I find that, if you look closely enough, there can never really be any “intelligence”. Everything is just a model or a likely association or a statistical model, etc. and it will always be that. This statement of there being no intelligence really seems overly reductionist.
You're stuck with your "health insurance" albatross due to Nixon and his cronies allowing HMOs to gain special legal status. [0] The pattern continued under Reagan, leading to COBRA. [1]

Meanwhile, what did we actually try in WW2? We tried creating a really severe tax bracket for the rich [2]. You can see the introduction of it in this famous graph [3]. Note that the tax rate for the rich had already been climbing throughout the 30s, and that it stayed high for the rich well after the war and through Eisenhower's presidency, leading to the "taxes were high under Ike" meme. Why did we lower taxes on the rich? Well, JFK was shot, and people didn't have the heart to not pass his tax cuts. [4] (If this sounds silly, consider that we put people on the moon only a few years later for basically the same reasons: economy, Russians, JFK said so.)

I hope that that clears up your confusion on these two distinct concepts and historical patterns.

Wonder if this can be used as ID to get into clubs, etc? The page doesn't seem to mention it, but I doubt it would be.
I really wish the estimation process would get turned around. Let stakeholders decide when they need it, and engineers are responsible for delivering the best version they can on that date. As the project unfolds, stay in close communication and make timely decisions about what tradeoffs are acceptable.

My estimates get accurate once I know where we are on the spectrum from quick and dirty to pushing the boundaries of what's possible. There's a 3 month version and a 3 year version of a lot of ideas.
No it's right on, Lange's govt was forced into "Rogernomics" noeliberalism because the previous right wing ("Muldoon") government had secretly borrowed lots of money overseas to prop up a wages and price freeze, and the country was unable to pay that money back when the rest of the world started to devalue our dollar (it went from US$1.25 to US$.50 almost overnight, and stayed that way for 20 years).

Muldoon as PM used the loss of the nuclear ships vote as an excuse to call an election, but was caught out when the chairman of the Reserve Bank came out publicly and explained what was happening to the economy, by then of course it was all too late. Nevertheless we were proud of our Nuclear Free state, even more so when the French terrorists sunk the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour (remember that the previous Labour govt had sailed NZ navy frigates into the French nuclear testing zone to protest atmospheric testing, this wasn't a new thing for Labour)
I'm aware, thank you though. Though I entirely object to my banned status and my comment history attests to a high degree of civility for which I have nary a regret, I don't have the energy to file a grievance. It's fine though, It's not a grand concern; I'm just a random voice in the chorus. Thanks for the clarity.
Except back then you couldn't actually move up. Most people today can save and generate wealth from leveraged capital today. That's literally every startup.
My personal experience is that traditional software estimation techniques don’t work when done for a MVP situation. Yes it’s frustrating like hell to not know how long before your money, patience and interest runs out. In a non MVP situation some estimation models work, some 40% of time. But managers make it look like they work all the time. Cutting scope to hit deadline doesn’t count.
Only yesterday, I received a printed Amazon catalog in the mail. It's really funny to think about how things have come full circle.
Once ordinary con men figured out that boundless optimism is all it takes to get money, that's all many companies had.

I wouldn't be surprised if a backwards tooth could remain viable. This is the sort of error that would be noticed immediately by any conscious patient, however. A backwards tooth would mess up occlusion. Few people would ignore the fact that they can't close their mouth completely.

Non-competes have no legal standing in several states (like California). It's odd to tie them to severance.
That article reinforces the view that you need big datasets to do ML. Generating a synthetic dataset still requires a real dataset to work from, and all the useful datasets are controlled by the big tech companies.

It seems to contribute greatly to the four year cycle that bitcoin has followed so far. Hit play on the graph to see where we are now. The blue lines are the halving dates, where mining rewards are halved, reducing supply.
It pre-dates the slang term by quite a while, unless it was around back in 1989? I don't recall seeing that online until the last decade or so.

The issue with swift on the server currently is that it’s an entirely different compilation toolchain to that run on MacOS and iOS, so the language has different bugs than those that exist for app development, and gets less attention from swift developers.

If you want to take a stab at server side swift, I’d recommend looking at the swift port of Netty that Apple released called swift-nio (after the name “swetty” was nixed by Apple marketing and communications) - https://github.com/apple/swift-nio
What a terrible article. Sure they manage to mention that logistically Germany was in a terrible place, but half the "facts" aren't. Made up chest thumping seems to describe it most accurately.

"outdated Hurricanes than they were the newer Spitfire" Um, no the Hurricane was not outdated. It was about as new as the Spit, used the same marks of Merlin and Griffon engines as the Spit, and was in fact a more stable gun platform. Key point, Hurricanes were far quicker to build than the more manoeuvrable Spit. Even after the Supermarine shadow factories were up to speed. Simply put Hurricanes and Mosquitoes were far easier to put together. All three had far better visibility than equivalent German fighters that this article manages to miss entirely.

Then they entirely miss the point of V2.

"V2 was more sophisticated, but was never mass produced: only 3,000 were launched" Had Hitler not overridden the use of V2, 3,000 might have been plenty. V2 was intended to be surface to air against Lancs and Forts. Not horribly overpriced very low capacity bomber replacement.

"May-June 1943 only sank two ships for every U-boat lost, ending the Battle of the Atlantic"

WHAT? OK, this section is jingoistic made-up nonsense. Battle of the Atlantic continued until May 1945. Read bloody Wikipedia or any respectable history from any participant. Enigma decrypts neutered some of the U boat impact as did mostly the Mark 5 Sunderlands and the few Liberators - that were only ever available to Coastal Command in very limited numbers.

Funny no mention of the US's reluctance to even adopt convoys, appearing almost as reluctant as they had in WW1.

Sevastopol and Stalingrad did not forget blitzkreig. Did you forget what you wrote only a dozen paragraphs earlier? The Nazis had terrible logistics, under-mechanisation and limited fuel. What were the length of supply lines around Sevastopol and Stalingrad? Bliztkreig required the spearhead be mechanised and well supplied.

Enough. I give up. :)
As a child, hanging out by the community pool in the summers, I learned the following trick:

If you can trap and drown a fly, you can then cover the dead fly with salt, which will suck the water out of the fly, and bring the “resurrected” fly back to life.

The relevance here: it is surprisingly difficult to drown a fly, because the weird hairs around their bodies create an air bubble around them, which protects them. A fly in a bubble of air can survive for at least 20 minutes underwater. Released, they will float to the surface inside this bubble and fly away.

Don’t ask how I know.

Please provide some motivation for your metaphysics beyond "I am a greedy person and expect that my greediness will be rewarded heavily."

Risk requires leverage, requires investment, requires confidence and evidence. Ultimately, the public at large bears the costs of large investments gone wrong. Why should the public subsidize the risks undertaken by a self-selected few people? Whether they're narcissists, sociopaths, or stupid, there's no inherent right of people to take capital and burn it to the ground in pursuit of some particular ideological end or material goal.

You may recall the phrase "negative externality" from economics class.

"there is no need to envy and take" is such aristocratic fluff. Taxation is not an illegal or immoral appropriation of property; it is a basic condition of citizenship, a civic duty akin to voting or jury duty.
As did the program that developed the B-29 Superfortress (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress), the plane that dropped the Manhattan Project’s atomic bombs on Japan.

YES it can be. It’s there in the 3rd paragraph.

“The NSW Digital Driver Licence is accepted by most pubs and clubs, and NSW Police.”
Also the Viable part of MVP is subjective. As you build the MVP, your idea of what is viable changes. This needs to be accounted for. The minimum product has to be viable for a paying customer. If the MVP is not a paid product the you can get away with less polish, not so with paid products.
I live in South Seattle - I'm in the middle of it. SF is worse by quite a bit, but I take your point.
The argument is you can design a model, check that it runs, then submit the job to train / evaluate the model on real data. The data scientist doesn't necessarily need to touch the real data ever (especially if ML is used).
I don't believe that matters. The comparisons are not equal, even if it's potentially unenforceable.

Piracy is not about availability; it is about convenience.

Signing up to different services that are based around monthly fees and then having to deal with those services when you might only want to binge one show is inconvenient.

Having to deal with personal data loss / fraud when those services get hacked is onconvenoent

Having to use multiple different apps (or even devices) for different shows is inconvenient.

Having to be online to watch the show is inconvenient.

Pirating can be more convenient than the above (see other posters fully automated setup) and when it is, the path of least resistance wins.
Then they shouldn't be included in the first place. If the company enforces it, they don't become any less of the asshole just because you can get away with it.
