That's cool to know. Vaguely related: I've been studying a little bit of Mandarin recently and have had trouble with their system of describing larger numbers that doesn't follow the Western groups-of-three system. For example, 万 means ten thousand, but it's actually "one of a thing described by a word representing 10^4," and you wouldn't say 十千 which literally translates to "ten of a thing described by a word representing 10^3." It's surprisingly hard to regurgitate the right labels when your brain is used to thinking in terms of 10^3, 10^6, 10^9, etc. They're all different, internally consistent systems, and as far as I can tell nothing makes one better than the rest -- except for one's own familiarity with it.

Agreed, same experience for me as an engineer and it's often the engineers who get the blame as their output is the most tangible in that chain of command.

I believe this is why some of the best Product Owners I've worked with have some understanding of the technical side so that they can push back at the point of feature request rather than accept everything to please business/the client and lay it at the feet of engineers a few weeks down the line.

For this reason, I think the engineering manager/technical product owner type of role should start becoming a bit more common especially in startups, where I've seen first hand, POs brought in who subsequently drive products into the ground that were initially engineering led (and which raised the investment in the first place).
There is always an internal trigger.

The intersection between internal and external is not so clear.

What the ultimate cause is, who knows.

Is the idea of a ultimate cause is even a valid idea?

Personally I don't think so.
Autonomous enzyme-powered protocells turn chemical energy into mechanical motion
Other way around, as I understand it: once the vaccine-derived strains have been circulating for a year or so, they become every bit as virulent and dangerous as the original wild polio and remain that way indefinitely unless they're stamped out using vaccination. The only way we can tell they're vaccine-derived rather than wild at that point is by using genetic sequencing to trace their heritage since they're otherwise exactly like wild polio. If we could somehow ensure that the vaccine strains didn't circulate for so long they wouldn't be able to regain their virulence and we wouldn't have this problem, but that's easier said than done.
It's convenient, but not mandatory for kids. We simply showered with the baby until age three or four and he's taken his own showers since then (supervised until age 6 or so)
Yes. The blame correctly lies on the processor architecture.

Assume you have a developer who is one of the best in the world at writing hyper-optimized SPU code. Imagine this dev WANTS to write micro-optimized assembly. (And there are many such devs). This developer's time would far more efficiently spent if they were writing "normal" code for a "normal" processor.

So yeah. The criticism belongs squarely on the processor. :)
The entire first section of the article is about how good the author was at pretending to be happy. Since projecting a happy image is also the main point of Instagram for most people, I'd be hesitant to assume everything is fine based on a few posts.
Yep. I lived in a country for while with modern banking. Bills were sometimes paid instantly, but often paid that night. Some folks still complained however, wanting it all to be instantaneous. Yes, that's possible these days, but be careful what you wish for.

I fixed one mistake on a bill payment made in the afternoon later in the evening, thought "thank $diety," and learned an important lesson.
Certainly large transactions should receive a modicum of scrutiny and delay to finalize.

Also, it's easy to criticize the bank, but what should one do when a transaction is disputed by the two parties? How does the bank know which is lying or mistaken, for sure? Sounds like the perfect time for a court to get involved—that's what they do.
But people who are 40 now have different priorities and tend to want to live in different places than 60 year olds did 20 years ago.
Many instructions (that likely see heavy use in MKL) are approximations, the exact implementation and behavior of these approximations varies across platforms (including possibly architecture versions).

The docs you quoted describes the necessary conditions for using an instruction to avoid crashes/illegal instruction issues. That doesn't cover these kinds of more subtle differences that exist.

For example, I just made a plot of |1/x - rcpps(x)|: https://snipboard.io/Rei74t.jpg

That's a little bit of a different problem, since the client end of the connection isn't the general public. (At least for industrial equipment.) The router problem is that you need a normal, unconfigured web browser to be able to access the router's config page.

The immediate solution that occurs to me is installing a private CA, possibly one with name constraints for the vendor, because private CAs aren't held to the same rules about validity. I'm curious why this doesn't work - is it just that the tooling needed to make it happen isn't polished enough for small vendors?

I'm guessing that internet of things devices are, by their name, on the internet and can talk to a CA. Yes, this will require some way to give them a real domain name, but you could either give them names on the vendor's site or encourage people to get a domain name for themselves.
Property Is Only Another Name for Monopoly
Yes, it does. A bank transfer credits the account of the recipient.

In this case, is it a "wrongful credit"? Arguably, yes — it's theft per S1(1) of the Theft Act 1968 since the recipient intends to keep it and appropriates the rights of the owner in doing so.

The closest Act I can find regarding returning stuff sent to you by mistake is the Consumer Rights Act 2015, specifically S25 which says that if the trader sends you a quantity of goods greater than you were expecting, you may accept them but you must pay for them at the contract price—you cannot keep them for free: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/15/section/25

The original Act was the Unsolicited Goods and Services Act 1971 but the section on the right of recipients to keep unsolicited goods has been repealed accordingly.

Company Stack Engineer. I’m coining the term here and now! It’s an engineer that’s a company!

It’s when you just do it all, business, accounting, sales, customer success, analysis, development, testing, devops, monitoring, ui, ux, visual design, maybe even be your own manager and the user of what you build. We can just make a git repo for the responsabilities and anyone can chime in.

Bonus: 10x Company Stack Engineer is that person you hire cheap, no need to train him and he does the work of 10 companies...
Thank you! That makes perfect sense.

> Most big tech companies don't care about how good you have been at delivering some value through creating software: they want to see you deliver a very specific type of performance at a whiteboard

PG specifically points out that success within a large tech company is predicated on bogus hackable tests. So it makes sense that their selection criteria should also be a hackable test. The better you do on that artificial selection criterion for admission, the better you're likely to do on the artificial selection criteria of internal career progression. So in this particular case, the hackable admission test is a good proxy.
The point is the flood of the market with these folks' homes.

If there's demand because of a new set of people come by them, that doesn't negate a rise in available properties from which they may select.

Real estate companies make money from the _churn_ of the market, not whether there are too many or too few houses to meet demand.

For such a highly valuable website like hackerone, IP binding should be done, the extra security is worth the slight annoyance at having to relog when your IP changes.
Huh, I stand corrected. My original complaint still applies to >99% of criticality studies, but the field might be coming around since the last time I looked into it, 3 years ago. Skimming through the papers, I'm still skeptical of how stringent a test their 'exponent relation' really is, but it's an improvement.
Why do demographics matter? It's completely missing the point. The only thing that matters is that the population is still growing and therefore there will be no housing shortage.

One example of a clear connection between a sales tax and public goods and services is a gas tax. It doesn't work perfectly, especially given advances in vehicle efficiency and electric vehicles, but it used to pretty reliably charge people for road maintenance based on their usage. It was also a regressive tax, because poorer people spend more of their income on purchases like gas.

"Orthodox propagandizing from economics" has come up with some things that you might not immediately think of when reasoning from first principles.
I consult some (maybe a lot). My work product belongs to the client. I am not legally allowed to share.

Some of it I would like to share (and some of it not!), but it really isn't my choice.

(Also - because I am fairly cross-disciplinary, the code for a controller to stand up a 100 ton rig, is not the same as the code to monitor the growth/feed/heat/light for algea in vertical tubes. And neither is likely to be asked of me for projects having to do with creating controllers for missions related to diabetic control or scooping up space debris. The ability to analygize only goes so far.)
A friend of mine once received a letter from the IRS demanding several thousand dollars in unpaid taxes on interest earned from a bank account of some type.

He told them that if they provided him with the account info that earned that much interest that it owed thousands of dollars in taxes, he would happily pay including penalties.

Turns out it was an off by one error in a SSN

What's more interesting is that the word "success" doesn't appear in the title or abstract at all, the functional word is "eminent", and their definition is definitely more complex than your summary:

"Eminent individuals were defined as those who, by age 50, had accomplished something rare: creative and highly impactful careers (e.g., full professors at research-intensive universities, Fortune 500 executives, distinguished judges and lawyers, leaders in biomedicine, award-winning journalists and writers)."
Only because a court order mandated recovery of the funds. You are "responsible" in the ordinary meaning of the word for the details you input into the system therefore under its contract with you, the bank is not obliged to correct your mistake.

Obviously, when a court order compels recovery of the funds, the bank is obliged to comply.
What party has some sort of vested interested (presumably monetary) in slowing down FDA drug approval? Perhaps I'm being a bit pessimistic here, but after reading the article I don't really see any motivation for the "raising alarm" statement in the title, or even a reason anyone would bother publishing this in the first place.

I looked up the "consumer watchdog" that I'm guessing had something to do with this article, and their front page is just an "Impeach Trump" advertisement. See https://www.citizen.org/. Also, if you click their "About Us" page, a few lines down is: "We don’t participate in partisan political activities or endorse any candidates for elected office."

How do you verify that the students learned anything without some sort of tests?
How will Wikipedia be directly affected? Do you mean they have a .org domain? Even if the cost goes up significantly, given their other expenses I doubt even a few thousand dollars a year would matter much to them.
The reality I've learned is your intuition isn't necessarily wrong, it might just need more information. Arisotlian..."physics" isn't wrong neccessarily, it's just a model of motion under certain conditions (everyday conditions on Earth under an atmosphere or/and on friction-full surfaces) Newton's 1st can be thought of a generalization of Arisotle's (or anyone's) intuition...which to make things worse, physics' 101 students are not taught about.

One of the things I think was the best ideas I learned in physics is that physics is all about approximations. Theorists tend to forget this annoyingly, but it helps keep naive scientists from using words like "fundamental" without qualifications, or saying garbage statements like "Newton's law X is wrong."
Yeah that’s what I was referring to above - I implemented this before with CWT, but what happens to the underlying object when my reference runs out of scope? What happens to the attached state of that object if it’s collected? How is the reference held in the CIL bytecode?

If composition isn’t implemented as a core language feature and officially supported then I’ve no way of knowing exactly how my implentation will behave or perform in the future or if there will be breaking changes down the road that render the foundation I’ve built all my code on moot.
I thought I had the same issue, until I realized that only certain lines are editable. On the initial page, only lines 13-16 allow editing, for instance.

I did a bunch of ketamine and mdma in the early 2000s. They’re miracle substances and they changed my life in positive ways that I can’t even begin to talk about, but they are not cures for depression. Eventually the effect wears off and all of the stuff that bothered you before will start bothering you again.

If you don’t figure out how to give your life meaning, the drugs aren’t going to do it for you. They’ll give you time and space to do it, but you really need to make the best of the opportunity while you have it.

This guy’s blog post sounds exactly like a hundred conversations I had with people I met at raves. We all knew that it was making our lives better, but most of us were broken people going into the scene and at best a lot of us were slightly less broken coming out of it.

Someone I’m sure is going to say that it’s a medicine and not a party drug now because a nurse is giving it and someone wrote a prescription, but it’s the same drug with the same effect. I’m not saying that to be judge-y. I think people should have a right to improve themselves or have fun anyway they want to without hurting any body. Just that if this thing cured depression, there would have been a whole lot of ravers that were permanently cured and I know from personal experience that it isn’t the case.

I’d really hate to see people try this thinking they’re going to be happy and be even worse off after the fog settles in again.
There isn't an appropriate analogy for IP based DRM because the real world doesn't behave like intellectual property.

I was trying to come up with some convoluted analogy about making art on a gold plated easel that self destructs every decade and burns any canvas besides a specific size that is put on it, but just trying to formulate a physical analog hints at the absurdity of it all.

Actually, wait. You buy a tractor but you can only use it on certain days of the week and it permanently shuts off after 3 years and stops working if you try to attach a snow plow to it. Except that is already the reality of John Deere products being DRM locked and not owned by the buyers.
> That's just like all those bug bounty programs including some phrase disallowing automated tools. Even for active participants of the platform that's completely unrealistic and introduces unnecessary uncertainty.

I was a report triager on HackerOne for over a year. There is a good reason for that clause, and I would definitely recommend any program that didn't already have it (which is only programs new to bug bounties) to adopt it.

What's disallowed is filing a report consisting of the output of an automated tool. Look at Uber's scope statement ( https://hackerone.com/uber ):

> Out-of-Scope

>> Negligible security impact

>>> Vulnerabilities as reported by automated tools without additional analysis as to how they're an issue

>>> Reports from automated web vulnerability scanners (Acunetix, Vega, etc.) that have not been validated

This prevents a denial-of-service attack on Uber's bug bounty team. It's very, very common for someone to run an automated tool against one of your domains, copy the output into a HackerOne report, and walk away. In nearly all cases, that output is a scary-looking false positive. It doesn't make sense to investigate reports like this, because they are almost always spurious -- so they are placed out of scope. If you file a report consisting solely of automated output, your report will be closed without investigation per the company's policy. The only problem being addressed by the clause is that reports like this are a waste of our valuable time.

Automated tools themselves are not disallowed. (How would we know?) The requirement is that you investigate the bug yourself, and provide a writeup that indicates that you did so and substantiated that there really was a security issue.

> If you're not a paid external security researcher, of course you click on at least one report to confirm that the vulnerability is actually working and has meaningful impact. Plus, they're still working with curious humans here, not OWASP top 10 scanners.

I have a lot more sympathy for you here. I have personally seen the same company pay out thousands of dollars more for the same security issue just because one of the reports alleged a bigger potential problem. (In this case, "you might be able to write to the database" as opposed to "you can read from the database".) This makes it hard for me to recommend "stop as soon as you know an issue is present", even though that is definitely the preferred policy of the companies.
Right. They confuse "system programming languages" with "system programming"
The fact that other companies lie about their tech doesn't mean it isn't fraud, it just means other companies are also making fraudulent claims.

A non-Theranos example might make it clear why I'm not nuts about the "if they'd succeeded, we'd be singing a different tune" argument:

If alchemists had been successful in turning lead into gold, nobody would be calling them frauds now.
>Intel doesn't test it either, which is why they disable it.

I think the software part of Intel should not sabotage the competition, we don't like when Google devs are sabotaging Firefox intentionally or by laziness, as a software dev you test for the feature, if it is present you use it and if for some reason the hardware is broken then you implement the workarounds if your customers demand it or if not let AMD to fix the broken feature. As a developer myself the least I could do is to add a flag to turn the crippling on/off but let it on by default, then the users can decide that precision/thermals or things are worse on AMD and enable crippled mode.
National popular vote is exactly such a system, and it is being discussed although I think practical people realize this is unlikely to change.

In my father's later years he was head of the business dept at a college. He taught classes in business and finance.

He'd often have students come up to him and say they had no idea there was even a case for free markets. All they'd ever heard in school was how awful they were. They'd thank him for opening their eyes.

At one time, the other staff (all socialists) invited him to participate in a debate about free markets in front of the students, and warned my father that they were going to take him apart. He happily agreed.

They wound up rather sorry they'd done that. My father was an experienced debater, and had an encyclopedic knowledge of economics and history. He shredded them :-) and some had the class to come up later and thank him for opening their eyes as well, as they hadn't believed there was a case for free markets either.
Why would you make an open platform with custom hardware when you can make a proprietary locked down one that you can use as an app store % cut mill like what Nintendo does?
