Have you heard of the concept of selection bias? If someone would do a meditative retreat combined with the influence of psilocybin, receive the benefits from that, and never feel the need to use psilocybin again you will not find them on shroomery.org. The only people you will find there are people with a sustained interest in doing psychedelic drugs. That's a bit of a circular argument then.

There is no reason to believe that such a community of people is representative of the general population or the effects that psychedelics would have on them when combined with meditation and the guidance of one or more therapists.

The effects may be low but what is the alternative? You suggest there's a digital advertising bubble but to have a bubble with the assumption it will burst, you need to show that advertisers can achieve a better return by doing something else.

There's no digital marketing bubble more than there is a traditional advertising bubble. There IS however a conflict of interest in advertising that's caused by the agency which performs the advertising being tasked with showing a return on investment.

For what its worth, Airbnb is pretty upfront about NEW properties in their platform especially those with no reviews yet. Someone always has to give it the first go to know if the hosts are great or not (though acknowledging the property is real shouldn't require a guest to have a bad/potentially bad experience)
> using conventional statistical methods.

Experimental design, analysis of variance are such. E.g., for the farmers and from the corn fields and hog pens of Iowa:

George W. Snedecor and William G. Cochran,
Statistical Methods,
The Iowa State University Press,
Ames, Iowa.

These methods have been widely used in the social sciences -- e.g., my wife, Ph.D. in mathematical sociology from Hopkins, got quite good with that material. The field is quite serious and mature and goes well beyond just A/B testing.

For the practical challenges of the article, academic fields closer than economics include statistics and optimization.

For the Lagrange multipliers in the article, those likely would be from the Kuhn-Tucker (Karush-Kuhn-Tucker) conditions. There without some special assumptions, e.g., having to do with cases of convexity, the conditions are only necessary for optimality and not sufficient. Generally in practice, it is more difficult to get sufficient conditions.

Yes, correlation does not necessarily mean causality. Usually showing causality needs a mechanism; in practice showing causality just from data and/or statistical methods is difficult and rare. But in practice, correlation can be powerful enough to take money to the bank.

I doubt that very much. If that were really the case, nobody would be using time-zones, but the local time instead in every single locality. (Much as used to happen before the railways introduced time-zones to synchronise times in different towns in the 1800s so that trains could run to a standard schedule.)

This is funny, because on HN you often see complaints about online advertising being horrifically bad because "it suggests me the products I have zero interest in", hence "online advertising sucks".

But that's the whole point! These people are complaining that they are not getting pizza coupons when they are entering pizzeria!

> if my home value doubles just because of natural reasons.

There's a lot to unpack with just that. Decades of aggressive downzoning and increasing regulatory hurdles to make building more difficult & costly, is not a natural reason (even if it is the status quo). Just as an analogy, that would be kind of like saying the tens of thousands of automobile deaths per year in the US are deaths from natural causes, since it's a status quo that we don't even blink twice at anymore.

You're arguing that your lifestyle has not increased just because your home value increased. It definitely has, basically by definition, now you live in a more expensive house and more desireable location. If we were to itemize the additional value you're getting, the big line item is the cost of keeping other people out of the neighborhood and keeping the density low. 30 years ago that was pretty cheap, now that is an extreme luxury that you are getting. Not to mention other tangible benefits, like access to home equity credit or the ability to sell and move to a much bigger or fancier house almost anywhere else in the country. Just because you aren't going to exercise your ability to do that doesn't mean you aren't getting the value from having that flexibility.

This seems to really get at one of the most fundamental things driving NIMBYism, that people's expectation is if they buy a house they have also bought the right to freeze time in their immediate vicinity and remove themselves from the continually evolving outside world. So if they don't perceive that their lifestyle has doubled in value, they're free to just decide that it hasn't and carry on living and paying property tax as if it hasn't.

I'm sure once the project have enough regular sponsors to pay the annual $100 fee for notarization by Apple they will gladly do it. Until then enjoy foss and support if you want/can.

For instance https://qgis.org just started notarizing for MacOS Catalina, but it's easier with the huge userbase & sponsors.
Valid points. My worry is if this is being exercised inconsistently. Is the same rule applied in the same way to everyone? Even Apple granting itself exceptions isn't great -- and I know it does grant this exception to itself -- but if it grants exceptions to some third parties but not others, or does not faithfully and consistently enforce the rule for everyone, that would be extremely troubling.

From the linked article:

> With all of those caveats noted, HTTP/2 should put to rest any notion of the need to minimise the number of requests for APIs; the protocol makes them cheap enough to not practically matter. Go ahead and design a highly granular HTTP API to meet the needs of your clients

This seems highly misleading and missing the point. Sure, you can send a lot of requests in parallel with http/2. But you still incur significant latency if these multiple requests are dependent on one another and serialized. For instance, suppose you have 2 granular APIs that:

- Returns all friends for the specific user

- Returns the name, age and hometown for a specific user

Suppose your client wants to get all of a user's friends whose hometown is NYC. Even with http/2, it has to use the first API, wait for the response containing a list of userIDs, then use the second API to get all of their hometowns.

Whereas with GraphQL, it facilitates building a single API call that says "give me all friends for a specific user, along with each friend's hometown". Now, there is only one round-trip latency cost. Not two. Even with the overhead improvements mentioned, the cost of two back-to-back round-trips would be much higher. It is very odd that this isn't mentioned in the article or any of the other articles they reference.

If you're wondering "why don't they just close-source the whole thing, and then they don't have to worry about competitors?", there's two reasons. One, open source is a good marketing tool to acquire trend-following customers, gain industry rep, and better hires. Two, if an open-source clone emerges, it could become a threat to their product, so they need to keep people using some version of their own product. This is what it means when a business says open source is a "strategic advantage".

All these "formally-open-source companies" are learning the same lessons we learned in the early 2000s: competing on software alone only works if you're licensing a proprietary product, or you're giving it away as a lock-in tool for a platform you control. The alternative is to compete on service and support, which works until you compete against a platform. A big player with a platform will just take ten million dollars and a year and a half and write their own version of it, and their customers will use it because it integrates with the platform's products better.
But getting it exactly right isn't the point, is it? You were asking how many should you short, if you think the market hasn't priced the lock out in ,the answer doesn't have to be optimal, it's just more than the usual volume.

What am I missing? For sure you couldn't know it would be 95 mil, but is 20 really that speculative?
Coming from the other end (after someone clicked an ad), I got to say: ads work well. The metric used @work is: cost of sale.

The merchant pays for each click on the ad that is redirected to his product page. What seems like a recipe for wasting incredible amounts of money on an army of click bots is working - because the merchant defines a target cost of sale for those clicks, meaning for example he expects a sale worth 100$ when spending 10$ on ads (a cost of sale of 10%).

And the merchant will set a budget and won't repeat/continue a campaign beyond those costs, so it is in the ad publisher's best interest to deliver real paying customers instead of an army of bots.

Cost of sale is of course different for each product category - clothes and perfume have huge margins (so the merchant may be willing to pay 30% of the final sale price for advertising costs), computer parts less so.

In the case of ebay and amazon and other large retailers it's common to not pay per click but for a percentage of an order's total volume (x% of shopping basket's value once an order is placed). In that case, we have to trust the retailer to deliver correct sales data to us.

> This is borderline criminal negligence.

Counterargument: the safety driver is supposed to be prepared to take control at any time, should the vehicle do something unsafe.

It seems to me to be clearly criminal to use this code to run a fully automated environment (i.e. no safety driver). It's not clear to me what the expectations should be of the code when there is supposed to be an attentive safety driver in the vehicle.

I think the safety driver is going to jail, because they were watching videos instead of watching the road at the time their vehicle killed a pedestrian.
This is par for the course in AVs. It was probably the case for Uber too: hardcoding an "action suppression" heuristic on top of it is horrifically negligent IMO (I work on ML systems for an AV company)

1) This is an upgrade to the touch sensitive button that's on all YubiKeys today. The reason you have to touch the key is so that if an attacker gains access to your computer with an attached Yubikey, they will not be able to use it (it requires physical presence). Now that touch sensitive button becomes a fingerprint reader, so it can't be activated by just anyone.

2) The computer/OS doesn't have to support anything for this added feature.
I don't think we'll see socket SP3 Epyc on mATX for a few reasons. The chip itself is huge and you'd have to throw away a lot of PCIe lanes and DIMM slots that couldn't fit on the motherboard.

You're right. When the white paper was announced; it was pre-released to specific entities to work around. The fact that the exploits have since been patched doesn't remove the fact that they were a valid exploit.

I /presume/ that no Linux desktop setups today actually support this workflow for user login, which is one of the things touted for Windows.

For Firefox since they advertise support for WebAuthn I /presume/ that the browser will do all the PIN prompts and so on to make this work, but again I have never seen this even _demonstrated_ let alone used in anger. The browser feature doesn't help you if the PC has booted and is at the login screen though, no browser there (yet?).

I own a device (Yubico's own "Security Key 2") which supports this workflow and I've played with it on a demo Windows setup, and though I'd probably never use it to sign into my Linux PCs I'd try it out because I'm a nerd. This device works fine as a FIDO key for my WebAuthn accounts and is enrolled at GitHub etcetera for that purpose but then so does my much cheaper Key-ID FIDO key.

Edited to add: There are a couple of replies now talking about non-FIDO flows like Smartcards or whatever. Some of Yubico's other devices can do these, but we're talking about FIDO2 like this new Yubikey, those flows aren't relevant.

for example there might be some theory somewhere that the way to measure the growth of the economy is to take something relatively unchanged since ancient times, like a chicken and then calculate the amount of biomass change taken up by chickens since that time (this is a spur of the moment wrong idea here) but some animals have increased in biomass and then decreased because the demand for them has not continuously risen over time - for example: horses. If one used the biomass idea then it would see the economy increased steadily from ancient times to near modern and then there was a startling depression that wiped out several hundred years of economic progress.

Of course nobody is doing this silly thing, but trying to think about how the way it is being done works seems to be equally as silly to me.

We will never have any way to know whether an average attentive human would have correctly parsed this situation or would also have hit the unexpected pedestrian in the middle of the street at night, but it's worth remembering that trying to make broad assessments of self-driving technology from this one accident is reasoning from a single data point.

One advantage the self-driving cars have over a human driver is that NTSB and Uber can yank the memory and replay the logs to see what went wrong, correct the problem, and push the correction to the next generation of vehicles. That's not a trick you can pull off with our current fleet of human drivers, unfortunately(1).

(1) This is not a universal problem with human operators, per se... The airline industry has a great culture of observing air accidents and learning from them as a responsibility of individual pilots. We don't have a similar process for individual drivers, and there are far, far more car crashes than air crashes so the time commitment would be impractical at 100% of accidents.
I think the reason this sort of thinking works is that it's an effective way to perform exhaustive search in idea space where metrics may be hard to define, based on combinatorics.

The ability to fork is the point of open source, because it assures continuity. The price of this is the non-zero probability of hostile forks (which I would not classify as 'abuse'). I think there's a section of technologist who license their software for pragmatic (traction, fixing bugs) and not ideological reasons and get surprised when someone forks the project in a way they don't like.
