That's also true. In a transparent decision-making machine, hopefully the response is, "We think A will be a small problem, and B and C won't be a problem at all." Of course, we can still be wrong, no matter what form our decision-making process takes. Perhaps the group that set up this contest expected some PR risk, but didn't expect it to be as severe as it was. If they were not aware of the possibility of PR risk, that would indicate a pretty severe error in their thinking. But we just don't really know whether that's the case or not. It's not observable from outside the system.

Make it fun to lose too.

In the before times, in the long long ago, there was a Half-Life mod called Natural Selection that I played entirely too much of. It was an asymmetrical FPS/RTS hybrid. In the earlier versions (pre 3.0, I think), Aliens were considered to have a slight advantage over Marines, however this was ok because losing as Marines was a lot more fun than losing as Aliens because they got to roleplay the Alamo by locking down their last base with ludicrous defensive measures and holding out against wave after wave of Alien attacks. This strategy would actually rarely result in a sudden turn around in the game as it was possible for a skilled Marine to escape through the Alien horde and find a quiet spot to begin construction of a stealth hail-marry base, or get in position to just barely kill a hive before they could be taken out. For mechanical reasons, this strategy was not possible on the Alien side and consequently losing as Aliens was an exercise in waiting to be curb stomped and no fun at all.
Nice and simple. I like it!
How about the ability to add animation, and export as an animated gif or video?
Why not provide a couple real-world (more detailed) examples of what it can do? Sure its simple, but if you want people to "get it", one of the best ways to do that is to show it in action.
Also, have you thought about the ability to add forks?

So, an extremely unique identifier for tracking purposes, that effectively no one knows exists, and no one knows can be changed at all?

With an obscure white paper that allows Google to claim they comply with the law because "they totally offer a way to change that and they even published that information to the web for anyone to find"?

Gotcha.
For some reason, they generally seem to have a policy of paying significantly less for the same role in their Canadian office.
This is another instance that google doesn’t care about users privacy and track without their consent by using chrome installation Id. This probably might be against GDPR, so Chrome installed base in Europe multiplied by per day fine, hopefully runs into a years revenue of google.

Another lesson don’t trust for profit companies with privacy protection especially advertising technology company like google with motto like don’t be evil or organize world’s information designed to mislead.

Great article! She mentions that probability and law are intertwined, in particular in two aspects: degrees of proof, and aleatory contracts. It's also been suggested that the originators of probability were either lawyers or sons of lawyers [1].

There's another link that I've found fascinating: the philosophy of law put forwards by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr (Supreme Court justice 1902-1932), and the philosophy of modern machine learning. Holmes gave a famous talk in 1897, "The Path of the Law", in which he said that law is nothing more than prediction. Throughout his life he thought and wrote about the relationship between predictions (by lawyers, by their clients, and by judges anticipating review by other judges), rationales (as written out in a judge's decision), and "scientific-style" explanations (the general legal principles that emerge over time). He writes about how the law learns to draw separating lines between clusters of cases, in language that might have come from a modern textbook on k-nearest-neighbours.

Reading about Holmes [2], and reading about modern takes on explanation and prediction in machine learning [3], I think there are some striking parallels -- and I wonder if Holmes's ideas might lead to new ways of thinking about explainability in machine learning.

Given that this article does not exist alone, but rather within the context of the broader website, readily available by means of the ever-present header with links, I believe it is safe to assume that any reasonably intelligent but unknowing user can do the research on their own.

Additionally, as long as the question "WTF IS THIS??" is not forbidden in the HN comments, even those lacking the domain knowledge, or a sufficiently useful description on the site itself or a useful Wikipedia page, I think the extent to assume is fairly low.

That is, I think it's safe to assume the internet, and its users, exist, and that the reader is sufficiently intelligent to make use of the resources available to them, when writing a post to publish online, if it's not intentionally an introductory post

Not quite 'votes'. Its delegates being chosen in a caucus. Different from a vote, in that 'one person-one vote' isn't how it works. You go stand in a group that wants a delegate chosen for a candidate. If your group is too small to earn a delegate, then you wander away to a larger group. Or maybe combine two small groups and wrangle which candidate your delegate will 'declare' for.

Learn about intelligent design theory and how it impacts biology and computer science. Google papers by Dembski for the mathematical underpinning. I recommend his papers 'search for a search' and 'specification: the pattern that signifies intelligence'. Read Winston Ewert's paper 'Dependency Graph of Life' for an amazing application of CS to bioinformatics, and 'algorithmic specified complexity in the game of life' for a fun application to artificial life. Read 'Evolutionary Informatics' for a very accessible overview of their work.
I keep being head hunted to work on SF/SV. And my reply is basically automatic and always the same:

"Due to US external policy and cost of life I can't see it being financially practical to move. Although, I would gladly consider any remote position."

I think the immigration complexity is the lesser problem there. My research based on housing, school, transport and food tells me it looks like absurdly expensive. To be able to even consider to move there I would need a salary bump of 3x-5x. No way this will ever happen.
The surprising part is that they had to argue that; that was the practice of every major party (only ever two at a time, but more than two over history), openly, until after 1968, and it was PR, not law changes, which got them to even pretend to make some gestures toward fairness.

Sitting tightens the calves too, especially if put your heels on the chair legs to prop them higher. Zero drop shoes, lowering every chair as much as possible, sitting on even lower things, and the "third world squat" all help. I saw my daughter squatting that way and it made me look it up. Adults should be able to do it too. Squatting desks are great. Also, dont do your introduction to CrossFit at a competitive box. Or don't do it at all and do something like starting strength or stronglifts.
Doesn't look like it from my testing of version 81.0.4036.0. But in normal Chrome I do see it.
Are you including 401k index funds/ general retirement funds in your definition of pensions? That is a typical source of stock ownership for many Americans.

You don't have to actively follow the stock market to be an owner of stocks. Buying and holding index funds or mutual funds in general is a great way to build wealth with little effort. Many households in the middle class are stock owners through this method. Most large employers offer retirement plans that include this.
> That's the entire point of the article, the author is not "confusing" them

I very much believe they are intentionally confusing them because it makes their point. In a "that's basically the same, don't look too hard, just listen to these huge numbers" kind of way.

I see what you mean (though that marketing is still not gamery!). But I think there is value there, in that clear messaging. The Threadripper board and processors are better available and their capabilities clearly understandable when you come from a consumer platform. The Supermicro board and Xeon cpus (and Xeon prices!) are maybe more relatable when your background is in servers, but utterly confusing otherwise. Too many skus, no marketing material at all that makes them understandable to consumers, very high prices, no boards from brands consumers know. And the prosumer line Intel is pushing instead as Threadripper alternative is crap.

And that's Intel fault, by basically blocking consumers a few years ago from using and buying Xeon processors...
Except politicians don't stick around for 30+ years, nor do voters or their memories, and it's impossible to make any accurate calculation about how much one is going to make over the next however many years.

So now you have a few people in control of a big pot of future taxpayer money who have the ability to make up numbers however they see fit. There's only one way that story ends.

Not to mention the race to the bottom it causes as time goes on since there are fewer and fewer big organizations being courted by more and more desperate governments.
This sounded harder to do than it was in my experience. I figured the alternatives to their products would be less polished. But I switched to Firefox and honestly prefer it to Chrome. (They allow extensions on Android, meaning adblock, which is a game changer for me.) DDG for search is great. Protonmail for email is fine, etc. There isn't much in the Google ecosystem that I miss tbh.

It is not disingenuous to think long term because of how growth compounds over time. Imagine average growth is 2% a year and we cap it to 1%. In 20 years the difference would be 48% vs 22% total growth, which may not sound bad. But in 200 years, it would be 5150% vs 632%, and it would only get larger.

Ask HN: Worthwhile Linux projects to start from scratch?
I'm itching to start a new software project from scratch. What are ideas of software projects that Linux could benefit from?

IDE - there are already several
Graphics suites - there are already popular ones
Office suites - there are already popular ones
Window managers - there are so many already

What's a worthwhile project to start that would benefit Linux at large?
Python; ReactJS; Mongo; MySQL; Design Patterns

Some bash; docker and general awareness of DevOps hoopla
They key in the wording is:
"If usage statistics and crash reports are disabled, this number is chosen between 0 and 7999 (13 bits of entropy)."

"If, statistics are disabled."

The only annoying thing here is the thread count!!

Intel do servers at all levels including low core count/high core frequency, where as AMD have a very decent core count, but, performance between the models is largely just an increase in core count (there is very little difference in frequency - e.g. NO high frequency/low core)

So many jobs still require Windows licenses unfortunately and since the shift to core count, it's ludicrously expensive to license a lot of the new AMD machines on SPLA licensing.

Not that I'm not trying though...

From twitter user @XMPPwocky:

- each precinct got a PIN to report their results

- the PINs were printed on the paper result worksheets sent to precinct captains

- multiple precincts and participants posted pictures of their worksheets to Twitter, with the PINS clearly visible

- hence multiple PINs were compromised

Yeah that doesn’t seem great I make 25% more than that with 5 years experience and no degree in the Midwest. Salaries here have risen so a large number of mid level people are making 6 figures. Even at some banks and retail/e-commerce companies that are a lot more corporate and old school.
The question is very board and most responses seem overly specific and only useful by chance (not to dig at anyone trying to be helpful).

Spend more time doing what makes you happy. Learn some things that make you useful to others and learn to identify what both of those things are. It is unlikely that global technical trends, fads and HN users preferences will be the answer to your local problems.

If pushed for something specific that is broad enough to apply to most technical people I would say learn how big picture pieces fit together in your niche. I'm a front-end dev so this means for me to learn networking, dns, packets, tcp, etc. Get a broad understanding of the big picture stuff in your niche. It often pays off.
If you haven't used Firefox in a while you should really give it another chance. It has vastly improved in terms of CPU and battery usage. It also has a lot of great privacy-enhancing features like tracking protection enabled by default and extensions like Facebook Container make it trivial to prevent tracking even further.
> there are positive externalities to a company choosing to do that in your city.

I get that that's the theory, but does it ever actually work in practice? Do you know instances when massive subsidies attracted big corporations that actually created enough jobs, externalities etc. to compensate for the handouts they received?
I hadn't heard of othernet. APRS is cool and ripe for disruption.
That might be what the parent is saying. Most software is so poorly written that even if it needs to do something CPU intensive it is probably still skipping around in memory so much that memory bandwidth isn't an issue.

My experience is that it takes well structured memory access to actually max out memory bandwidth even if the numbers seem like the CPU would be starved.
Learn to enjoy poetry. There is so much of great poetry in English, but I think it is not being read and appreciated enough. It is a kind of mental challenge like doing a puzzle, to unlock the full vivid meaning.

Also reading fiction, though how exactly it helps one is beyond me, but it offers glimpses into other worlds. For example I read recently 'The French Lieutenant's Woman', I doubt its richness of detail, and evocation of place and time, etc can ever be captured in a film or even a miniseries, and on top of it is choc-full of tid-bits of information.

Ask HN: How to get into tech in your thirties?
A friend of mine runs a 1-man coffee stall. We were chatting last week and he mentioned how he has free time and "would like to get into tech" and asked if I could recommend any "bootcamps".

Honestly I wasn't quite sure what to say. He's early enough that he doesn't know what part of "tech" he wants to get into... just "something with coding". That makes it difficult to recommend a course on a specific topic (via edx or others), but a lot of the bootcamps come off to me as scammy (though Lambda school looks interesting) and many of the university programs command high fees for opaque value.

So what would you advise a friend in a similar predicament?
Not sure why this is being downvoted. It hits the nail on the head. If you are concerned about privacy around advertising then using a browser from the biggest online ad company is short sighted.
Certainly, but that comment basically contains all the information I needed to move on to the next article in the HN firehose.
"Backdoor" this, "backdoor" that. Proprietary software company releases proprietary software that allows them to spy on you, how shocking.

In which they sacrifice privacy to allow their ad network to target you better.
https://www.blog.google/products/chrome/building-a-more-priv...

In which they explicitly track you more under the guise of protecting your privacy.
https://github.com/jkarlin/floc

For every single claim Google makes about being pro-privacy, their definition of privacy ("data shared between you and Google and no one more") is implicit.

It's a surveillance company that makes proprietary software to sell you ads. As soon as you get that into your head, you'll be much less shocked.

"We personally get to track you" is not a unique stance, and it's far from a backdoor. It's just another vile move from a surveillance company that's pretty explicit that that's their goal.
Ask HN: How do you manage multiple projects?
Is it so substantially easier to justify keeping (and maintaining) another copy of your data in the second database? Or, alternatively, to keep your data split between several different databases and invest all the required effort to keep them consistent?

Sometimes it is, of course. But not often.
Quite possibly another thing could be happening: I can see Intel not allowing Apple to directly compare any competitive part if it's not coming from Intel as well, where Apple likes to say 'This is the fastest MacXXX ever, 12345% faster than previous model', previous model being Intel based.

I'm a little unclear on the specifics too, even after reading the article. The article says "majority employee-owned company" So Cards Against Humanity still retains some ownership in it I presume.
