Agreed. I was sad to hear of Chuck's passing. His MOS Technology was a huge thorn in Intel's side in the early days. That company punched way above its weight class because the chip was so simple it made a huge number of things possible.

I got to meet him when he did this interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enHF9lMseP8) with the Computer History Museum and really was impressed at how he understood and expressed computation.

I think you interpreted what I said in the worst way possible, and again, it's incredibly difficult to prove damages. We all know they exist, but if you can prove them you don't need a class action.
They use it to auto play all their shitty videos. That auto play nonsense is ruining so many things for me. I don’t want any movement or sound on a page that I’m trying to read. It’s insane that content producers think it’s a good idea.
I do disagree with you.
If it's meant to be punitive, shouldn't the full penalty amount get divided evenly among everyone who applies for the compensation, rather than being a fixed $6 per person who applies? Or does Equifax somehow end up losing the full penalty amount regardless (e.g. is the unclaimed amount paid to the government etc.)?

In the 70s and early 80s inflation sent stocks to depths that people today can't even imagine. They joked about American industry being worth more dead than alive.

The P/E ratio of the S&P 500 got into the 7s!

So why does historical experience show that inflation is so bad for stocks, if it seems logically to you to be good?
if bokeh gets to this point, I don't know how is it going to look in the future. Is photography going to die
The problem is that there is ample press and experts who have scrutinized the 737-MAX issues for over 8 months now - there were multiple systematic/organizational issues and oversights all over the place - that should be duly criticized and it was, but let's learn about this other issue in a completely different division (Space), take hints and jump to conclusions about their incompetence. This is immature, condescending and disrespectful of the engineers that worked on making this happen.

SHIT happens in space flight all the time. The rate at which shit happens in space is on a few orders of magnitude different than shit that happens in commercial aerospace. Ask how many times SpaceX failed to do what they do today and it will fail more times in future, no doubt.

I also understand the company culture point - yea, company culture probably isnt the best at Boeing but they've done many many things right in past decades. They're a huge company with a lot of talented engineers (and a lot of bozos). Their CEO is a complete asshat and I am sure people inside Boeing talk about it.

I just think that there is unnecessary scrunity without data to say definitively what happened.
They probably use heating oil futures to hedge their transport fleet fuel supply costs.
RIP Chuck Peddle, co-creator of the 6502 CPU, and a true Silicon Valley pioneer.

There's been fake generated profiles on Facebook for over a decade. I know this because I had some, I was targeted by some, and I had "security friends" who generated some. Over the years I've seen several campaigns of groups of fake profiles trying to collect access (by "friending into" friend circles).

At university my security club had a member who gave a presentation on algorithms for detecting and generating fake profile posts for Facebook, through which he created sock puppets and also found a ton of others belonging to "who knows which group". That was around 10 years ago.
> Neighbors previously complained about the replacement of historic streetlight poles for Van Ness BRT. Replacement poles made to look like the originals ballooned the project cost by $6.5 million, according to city documents

This is a perfect microcosm of San Francisco governance. A small number of highly-motivated landowners unashamedly hijacking city policy for their own interests. How do we stand up to this?
Sanity check. From 1990 to 2000 ~1/4 of US adult population smoked. Suggesting that smoking adds 750,000 * ~50,000,000 people / (75 years lifespan) ~500 Billion per year to US heath care costs is wildly off base.

It turns out smokers do cost more while alive, but die sooner which mostly erases the difference in medical costs. There are estimates for lost productivity amounting to 150 Billion per year in the US, but again these ignore the fact Nicotine is a stimulant.
> If India is not a good place, then why Dalai Lama is staying in India, he could have gone to some other countries.

This place is part of his own country historically called south Tibet, read Simla accord [1]. It was the ingenious diplomacy of Nehru to let China accept the McMahon line in 1962 war settlement, instead of using airplanes to fight back (at that time India had superior air power, but as new country will suffer tremendously). So in the end China got 阿克赛钦 (Aksai Chin) a dreary icy dessert and India got fertile south Tibet which is present Arunachal Pradesh. People in India might not know this is called to win some you lose some and Nehru is fantastic to see it as a visionary, India still lacks a leader like him and Gandhi.

I hope current leadership in India instead of thumping chest, understand it that to resolve a conflict, war is not the way. Also doing a worship of war machines doesn’t bring peace [2]. Mind and education are the most important tools to win any battle including with oneself, not the demonising of education.

There are protests in Tamil Nadu against the exclusion of Tamil Hindus by local Indians [3] , so again get your facts right before claims.

One thing I notice is when people get into photography bokeh is one of the first things that they want to emulate (another was HDR).
But once they know the basic rules[1] of photography well enough to break them, they tend to view bokeh as that puppy-love attraction and now they are on to more serious photography. That is to say, bokeh is sometimes used as a crutch before people learn the basic rules and then learn how and when to break them to create a better photograph.

I have very bad news for you.

Smokers (and the obese) are cheaper in health care costs than non-smokers. Why? To be blunt, because smokers die early.

Keeping someone alive into their 90s is more expensive than someone who dies of smoking derived illness in their 70s or younger. This is similarly true for the obese.

I misunderstood then. However, if you just meant that people prefer method syntax because method syntax is infix, then it seems to come full circle to asking why they like infix syntax for methods... Doesn't really matter - it is what it is.
It’s going to take a long time for the “AI” hype cycle to fully run its course. Expect many more of these articles.
I also remember that the construction site did not have a stellar safety record. It was typical for the industry back then, though. In the middle of the Great Depression, a builder would likely not be too picky and reject a chance to work on such a high-profile project when unemployment was high.

No offense, but you sounds like someone who doesn't 'get' SQL.

I'm reasonable at Excel. I've been using it in anger for close to 20 years. My most serious dressing down I've every received at work was related to a column of incorrect data in Excel. (I built a spreadsheet based on incorrect data. Management expected me to build correct spreadsheets from incorrect data.) I'm reasonable at SQL. I've been using it casually for 10 years. My cutoff at this point is that I'll use Excel if I expect my analysis to take less than five minutes. I'll use pandas or SQL for anything more complicated than that, because it's that much more powerful.

Excel stops scaling at about a million rows. SQL stops scaling when your indices no longer fit in RAM.
It’s always interesting to see what kinds of things make it to the front page because of who wrote them, rather than the content itself (which in this case is just a few cherry picked examples with no context). I’m not exactly sure what anyone is supposed to learn from this aside from the facts themselves.
It's easy to misunderstand; that was exactly my point.

The statement about "commercially-motivated spam, that typically aims to drive traffic or attention from a conversation on Twitter to ..." applies perfectly to all of the paid-for advertising.
Ever have a problem on Twitter finding your threads because of the 'commercially-motivated spam' of paid-for ads thickly laid on? Ever miss seeing a message someone left?

The ads obviously and continuously break up the conversation between human beings to encourage them to visit promotional sites. The difference between paid and unpaid spam is an economical one for Twitter; for the user its a deluge of distractions.

You could argue that the paid-for commercial advertising is 'saner' or 'nicer' or 'less damaging' than the agenda-pushing bulk accounts. But in the end, both are 'manipulating the platform'. 'Making human connections' has become an ancillary goal.
Infinite scrolling needs Javascript, and it's pretty useful for some sites that have feeds.
I suppose this is the "leadership support", that is, the coffers opened by the (high above) leadership.

Time is money, so if you can't put enough time, your only option is to compensate with money.
Yes, of course. Smokers and many other bad habits are great for the public purse - especially with less state pension payouts.

But this isn't an argument we accept in public health. If it was, we wouldn't provide any healthcare that prolonged life after someone was after working age.

Regardless there are still an awful lot of really dibilating conditions that massively affect productivity caused be tobacco related illnesses that isn't just death or cancer care.

It depends on the settlement agreement, but they don't typically go back to the defendant. In this case, I found one source without looking up the actual agreement

>Services offered are for identity restoration, credit monitoring

And those services are from... Equifax, which I feel is pretty shitty. Like I said, I don't like the settlement itself, but lawyers get a lot of hate for class actions from people who seemingly don't appreciate the risk they take in taking in the case.

This reminds me of my "war" to get an article for my parser XML::Bare.

There was a time when there was a comparison page for XML parsers, and many parsers had articles.

Still existing parsers on Wikipedia that should be removed; if they are to stay true to their war on having useful software info in Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:XML_parsers

The original argument was that if you can find a citation in print you can have whatever it is on Wikipedia, but that ceased to be true years ago and it has become a popularity contest and power struggle with obnoxious Wikipedia editors.
If you want to be a splitter rather than a lumper, that’s fine, but there’s no reasonable division that separate “Muslims” from “The West”.

There just is no historical separation between our societies for the obvious reason that they’re geographically adjacent and have been in continuous contact, unlike say “The West” and India or China or the Americas.

European philosophy was explicitly founded when medieval universities were set up like Islamic schools and teaching Averoes and Avicenna. Before that, Aristotle and Plato had been all but lost to the Latins. Chemistry is from “al-quemi” and algebra is “al-jebra”.

It’s really only post-fall of the Ottoman Empire that you see even a notional sense that our civilizations are disconnected. Splitting them now is just pro-war propaganda being laundered through bad history.
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that even if 10k people in the US avoided 1million in catastrophic care due to tobacco (and believe me, there are many more than 10k cases per year - some cancer treatments cost $200k+ just in pharmaceuticals), that's $10bn in savings.

Considering how most vape products seem to be made on a shoestring in some factory in China, I think CDC and the FDA should be throwing enormous amounts of money into building high quality, super effective vape products.
Not sure why this is getting down votes. This needs to be kept in the back of the mind that overnight success is a fallacy. Not sure why pc chose not to put the idea that each of those fast achievements had years of works behind them.

The signing could very well be completely optional/pseudonymous. Don't fall into the trap of false dilemmas BigTech loves to impose on its users: the wonderful thing about technology is how malleable, and thus user-empowering it can be.
In every sense. Prototype-based OO has been a thing for a long time now.

If you look at the entire breadth of OO languages and see what they have in common, there's really only two things that are truly common: object identity, and some form of dynamic dispatch based on that. Everything else - inheritance, encapsulation etc - is optional.

What's wrong with learning facts?
the modern web reminds me of the days leading up to the .com bubble burst. Adverts being crammed every where, spying on users and other user hostile tactics to an attempt to make a dollar.
They were probably excluding city-states like Singapore and Vatican City (Macau is probably excluded because it is neither in theory nor in function a country, but is a special administrative region of China.) Or setting a minimum size or population threshold that has a similar exclusive effect.

>I really wonder, what does UX testing and iteration look like at Northrup-Grumman?

It's probably very limited, if it even exists at all. What I'm betting happens is that somebody says "The Navy needs a new widget for X purpose!". and the only input the designer gets to have is where it goes.

I'd love to hear how UX designers in research challenged areas such as the military do their testing. It's not like they can just go on UserTesting.com and get feedback from somebody for $10 a test.
There's no question in my mind that North America has gotten a lot worse at completing great civic projects.

Sometimes, that's for good reasons. We don't have slave labor, we have environmental review, and we allow affected communities to protest and block approval. In the old days when the city fathers had a bright idea they'd just plow through the neighborhood of $LEAST_POWERFUL_ETHNIC_GROUP.

We might have overcorrected! But I also don't know what model there might exist for moving quickly with a multi-stakeholder process.

You are correct and all of these reach top ten on HN for some reason. Gaming? Foolish members? Don't know.

But I know that if it's a github or medium link posted here that's been massively upvoted and loved, it's abysmal crap that only imbeciles would be interested in. Why do you suppose HN consistently promotes such articles? Any idea? Any at all? Is every one here a tasteless retard, or has this site been compromised and gamed? I prefer to think the latter.
I've been running PoP!OS (despite its stupid name) as my daily driver because it supports Nvidia drivers and all the CUDA libraries for deep learning right out of the box, as well as a pretty large number of sane defaults and preinstalled codecs, etc.

I was pleasantly surprised that Steam was a one-click install, and probably 90% of the Windows games that I have tried work without issue.
I totally agree with that, mate. I wonder how efficient we developers would be if we can mix good designing techniques with good toolchains like those.
If you can't get a higher rate with say a billion dollars belonging to one decision maker, how would people with much less improve their returns by coordinating?

What you call the money being "fluid" would tend to make it less valuable than CD deposits.

I agree that saying that he used calculus is a bit of a stretch. However, calculus is essential for all the gradient-based methods (or algorithms) in optimization. Moreover, if you want to analyze these algorithms, you have to know about convex analysis.

I think what the author _meant_ was that he used the intuition derived from calculus to tackle the problem he was framing as a mathematical optimization problem.

Also, you're right, he missed that the global maximum might not be unique in a non-concave function.
I was replying to a comment proclaiming the financial savings. It isn’t a savings. It’s a cost.

It may well be a cost worth paying. I’m not arguing policy. OP’s math made incorrect assumptions. Just letting them know.

>Marx later came along and demonstrated that that correlation didn't exist and that price didn't match labor quantity at all.

The full theory of prices is only explained by Marx in the context of competing capitals, and the full development of M-C-M', but Marx does clearly accord correspondance between values and prices, even if they're not the same thing, and they're at different levels of abstraction. Marx does offer an argument for why labour is taken as the substance of value (and why socially necessary labour time is its magnitude) - and it's all developed further in the analysis of money. Yes, "labour" doesn't correlate with price in Marx's schema, but the "amount" of abstract labour, determined by the socially necessary labour time required to reproduce a commodity, does.

Shaikh and Tonak show that in the case of freely reproducible commodities, excluding things such as natural resources and land (covered in the theory of rent instead), some empirical research does show correspondance between labour-values and prices in subsets of the economy where it can be measured.

Marx's theory of exploitation requires a correspondance between wages (as money) and value (the product of the labour process). It wasn't as though Marx saw an inconsistency and ran with the theory anyway. Unfortunately for his detractors, the same arguments since Bohm-Bawerk have been repeated since they were made despite adequate refutation by those who hold to Marx's "LTV".
I’m mostly with you there but I’ve found saga to be a double-edged sword. The library offers some KILLER features and when you’ve got the right use case, it’s perfect, but it’s so easy to abuse. Because it does so much, I found myself putting more and more responsibilities on it and wound up with some very magical feeling, hard to troubleshoot code.

What changed everything for me was adding GraphQL and getting the majority of my API communication and data storage out of redux. Now, sagas and redux are further down the list of tools I reach for, complexity is way down across the board, and the sagas and reducers that’s remain are more narrowly scoped and easier to reason about and maintain.
Depends on whether or not you use roundabouts. Roundabouts are no worse with six (or eight) way intersections than four, but six way traffic lights don't work, and even four way traffic lights are problematic.

Cities: Skylines. To a certain extent, real life physics need not apply. There's an excellent series on YouTube of a player optimizing cities built by others. Almost all of it comes down to building more roundabouts and optimizing weird lane management specific to Cities: Skylines' weird AI and lack of car crashes.

True, but still a dizzying feat by any standard. World's in-a-class-of-its-own largest rocket, so far only tested in two unmanned launches, one of them a near disaster, stability problems now theoretically fixed, but fixes never tested in actual flight. Sure, let's improvise a new kind of missio in four months time, strap people on top of that thing, and shoot them to the Moon for the first time ever.
