> Tyrannical dictatorships are an emergent property of Marxism. When you stop allocating resources based on competence, and instead based on other factors, whoever gets to decide these factors ends up with all the wealth and power, since they use the factors they have. For instance in intersectionality, minorities want to take from whites under various guises of white privilege and equity, with the anticipated result being they hold all the wealth and power. If you keep narrowing the criteria, you end up with a tyrannical dictatorship. This is opposite of a constitutional democracy where power is decentralized among voters and limited by a Constitution.

What is this mythical system that allocates resources based on competence?

It adds to the e-waste issue if the device is ground up or burnt.

Some, but not all, of the properties of tritium are somewhat friendly. The half-life is comparatively short at 12.5 years, so it isn't left for future generations. It is a beta-emitter, so shielding is straightforward. The daughter, helium-3, is quite benign. It can be readily encapsulated (see tritiated key fobs).

If it does get loose from encapsulation, it goes everywhere that hydrogen goes, which is largely everywhere. On the plus-side, gaseous tritium mixes and dilutes quickly in the atmosphere. The key is not to ingest concentrated quantities of it. The decay energy is very low, which makes assaying for tritium contamination quite challenging.

If you're looking for e-waste of radiological concern, americium smoke detectors might matter more. I'm not sure.
Yeah. I didn't mean to imply Google chose CoreOS to work off of, just that the ideas are there.

I can't imagine being friends with someone who is this incapable of communicating.

The solution to this problem is sending a text that says, "Hey, I'm not feeling like coming out today after all. Rain check?" This app is a worse solution than the obvious solution.

Nowadays with cheap gene testing/PCR, you could probably flag people who are turning in too many related animals for bounties.
I haven’t seen this written anywhere (perhaps I haven’t looked hard enough) but I’m starting to think that perhaps Google and Facebook are reaching out to and paying companies like Wacom to capture these analytics.

It makes little real sense for Wacom, a manufacturer of tablets, to capture this amount of data, and doing so has a cost. But it makes heaps of sense for Google to do it since they can infer all sorts of stuff from the applications you install.

It also explains why this crap is so pervasive, why the privacy policy is so vague (Wacom may not even know the extent of the exfiltration - don’t ask don’t tell), and why the quality of the data collection is so good.

I mean I’m guessing there a google product called something like “Google Analytics for OSX Drivers” and google would want that in popular products.

These sort of back room deals and outreach programs are pretty common in general, but if I’m right, then Wacom, while certainly an accomplice, is not the root cause of this.
It's for this reason that I use PWAs wherever possible. Right now I'm using it for Twitter and Uber. Tired of turning off permissions and then having to do it again when apps auto-update and restore the original permissions.

Is there any reason to use screen over tmux?

(I really hate posting a comment like this, since it seems poor form to point out a competing project on the release notes of some other project. But screen and tmux are so fundamental to dev workflows that if there's an advantage, I was hoping to know about it.)
I'm a tmux man myself, but I'm really glad to see that screen is still being actively maintained.

There's a lot of good points in there from both sides, but what really stuck with me is that given the choice between an explainable model and a black box model that works better (more accurate predictions), most people choose the black box model.

Strontium 90 seems like a good candidate. It and what it decomposes into are both pure beta emitters. Beryllium 10 also looks good, though very low power.

Someone recently used nickel 63 too.
Yeah AI world have a loose definition of explanability and interpretablity.

I also see this very dogmatic mindset that Deep Learning will do prediction and interpretability.

What is stopping you from building two models? a regression statistic model to do interpretability/explanability and another deep learning for prediction?

Like each coefficient in a regression have a t-test for significant in correlation with response. You don't have something like that in deep learning. Also I've seen many MLer use logistic regression as a classifier and ignoring the probability aspect like the Titanic dataset highlight the different mindset between statistician and ML. ML often will see this as a classify problem dead or not dead. Statistician will phrase to "What's the probability of this person dying with these covariates?"

You know why this matter? It really matter in health/medical/social science. Often time inference is what they want and they need to know what affect your health not just shoving in tons of data and covariates/features. Not only that you many not even have enough data for these data hungry ML models.

Another example is biostatistician figure out threshold between the benefit of taking an invasive procedure versus not taking it. We figure it out but giving a percentage and the doctor and experts will tell you where the threshold is, 20%, 40%? It's certainly not 50% that many MLer do.

> We often hear that AI systems must provide explanations and establish causal relationships, particularly for life-critical applications.
Yes, that can be useful. Or at least reassuring.

To me this just an excuse to not learn statistic. He should really look into Propensity modeling under Rubin-Neymer causality model. This is what statistic is going into after regression for observational data.

With all the criticism I have for ML. I think it's just the mind set. I think the ML algorithms have a place and they're very good in certain domain such as NLP and computer vision. But to act as if they're the end all be all when statistic models have been there and use extensive in biostatistic and econometric fields is just hubris and ignorance.

While ML is making excuses for causality. Econometric and statistician are working to build causality model. IIRC econometric is doing structure equation while statistician are going for Rubin-Neyman model. There is debate on which model is better but that's ongoing we'll wait and see from all the research papers.
Because it has repeatedly demonstrated that it's untrustworthy!

Sure, some of that might be just hype around the bad things. But the sheer number of thefts, scams, hacks, etc, means that for many (most?) people, using a cryptocurrency is just not worth the risk.

The fact that massive profits can be made by the lucky few only serves to reinforce the impression that it's not a safe environment.

To OP, I would suggest using secretstream from libsodium, which abstracts all these problems away for you.
There's an argument to be made that learning to have hard conversations with friends/family is a useful skill, and also builds closeness and trust over time.

Chrome will clamp down on sites with annoying video ads
I agree.

The protocol works, but it does avoid emotional honesty. If this is a chronic thing, then perhaps there are some unsaid things that need to be said between the friends.

For others reading this, I suggest a book called Crucial Conversations. If bailing out is a proxy for deeper issues in the friendship, maybe it is time to have a good chat about it.
Browsers, web sites, and user tracking
> Google has been attempting to block annoying video ads for years. The goal is to filter out the most noxious offenders so that users don't resort to ad blockers, which hurt overall revenue. Since 2018, Google says it has seen ad blocking rates in North America and Europe drop significantly in Chrome, and it hopes the new ad standards will reduce ad blocking even more.

Just when you thought Google was acting benevolently...

It’s not just the printing of money but it’s proper delivery. Currently the fed uses money in repo operations. This was fine back in the day but today it’s different. Since the weaking of glass stegall banks are looking to financial tools for higher roi. Now it seems the fed’s behavior is propping up equities markets while real wages stagnate.
TBH I don't think so. Screen is great, but overall tmux is better. Screen is often shipped by default with linux OSes so maybe there's some advantage for airgapped machines, etc.
Technology is not the answer to this problem. If I had this issue, I think the underlying issue would be confidence and the ability to communicate.
From a - admittedly superficial - first look I couldn't understand if mint is able to produce a static file as well.

If it Didi I think it would be a major advantage over react, angular and Vue. Of course all these support the creation of a static file, but it's not trivial and it feels like an hack more than a feature.

Therefore if mint has/had the option to produce (also) a static website, I think it would have very nice use cases
I personally find that screen tries to do less, and therefore, gets in my way less. Also, emacs-style keybindings fit better with the general interaction model of the shell, which also uses emacs-style keybindings.

I know that one can switch to vim-style keybindings in the shell, but they have never felt as "comfortable" (and I use vim as my daily driver).

Last but not least, the default keybinding for splitting in tmux (C-b ") is just awkward. Screen has way better defaults.
I have used it in the past to connect to devices over serial.

This could leak information to the other party if bailing is still available during the event. By trying to bail myself after you show up I could "prove" you really didn't want to be here after all.

It's basically solving a version of the prisoners dilemma by giving both parties a filtered communication channel to signal cooperation.
My post below is wrong, please move along. Keeping as-is, so the replies make sense. Thanks repliers!

The native prompts don't allow for app specific explanatory text to be presented. I haven't reviewed iOS guidelines, but Google provides guidance to inform users of why you're asking for permissions before you do it, and I would guess Apple would suggest the same as well. Pestering people for access once a day is probably not within the scope of the guidelines though.
This is the most San Francisco thing ever.
I know it's usually a terrible counter argument, but really, why do you trust the industry?

They've offered nothing trustworthy except the argument that it's great for 100 different illicit uses
Ideally, iOS would have an option to say "always deny Contacts access and never bring up a dialog again".

I don't share my contacts with any app, and I hate being asked again and again for every single new app. No means no.
This is like Bang With Friends. Whatever happened to that thing? https://www.businessinsider.com/bang-with-friends-co-founder...

Maybe it should be called Bail With Friends.
To be fair I think this falls into the category of "ugh I'm not really feeling like going out... and I don't want to disappoint my friend.... if only I knew he wasn't too hot to trot tonight as well..."

But I understand your point and agree with you. I prefer direct communication. If you don't want to hang out just say so - I like clarity.
> Could targeted stretching of your identified weak spots reduce your risk of injury or help rehab an existing injury? Here, too, the evidence is slim at best—but this is a hard question to study, so I’d leave it in the “plausible” category.

Full ERP? For what size organisation? I expect the finance team are using a 'real' ERP behind the scenes and posting the values from the custom system manually every month, copying and pasting from it almost as if it was an old fashioned day-book.
Sure that's the case too, but most of Western Europe was spared a complete devastation, unlike Central and Eastern Europe.

A lot of them resumed their colonial ambitions, and small time squabbles within few years after the war, but they never resumed them in a way they did before WWII, and never tried to challenge US primacy.

They were very conscious of American reservations. Back in the early cold war, NATO was coming with a lot more of strings attached from US, with former great powers toning down their ambitions being one of them.
> nspawn is a pretty small wrapper around functionality that already existed. It turns out containers are not really that special compared to services, and most of the plumbing was already there in the service manager anyway.

That's more than a little misleading. It's not like nspawn just calls into the service manager to get things done on its behalf via dbus or something like that.

If that were the case, rkt would only have worked on systemd hosts, since it used nspawn to setup its containers.

While it's true nspawn shares a bunch of code in common with the service manager, being in the same repository, it's a substantial program on its own and can function entirely independent of the service manager.

There was a time when nspawn actively required running on a systemd-booted host, but it was completely unnecessary and that check was removed while rkt was being developed. [0]

It's not some thin little ergonomic wrapper around existing service manager facilities.

The failure I've seen multiple times is that the database is returning data within normal latencies, and then there is a traffic tipping point and the latencies go up 1000x for all requests.

Probably so when your 10 users grow to 1000, your efforts at 10x are good for 1000x, and you’re working on 100000x.
The telescope ran out of coolant in 2009, but it continued operating for quite a long time after that. The article says that one of the biggest concerns is the difficulty of communicating with it, as it falls further from Earth in its Earth-trailing orbit.

Compared to the 2.5-year mission specification, its lifetime was long. I know NASA over-engineers, and extends each mission as long as some hardware operates (see Opportunity), but that's still an impressive mission lifetime.
It would be pretty depressing if you got "You're off the hook" messages every time you hit bail. That means, most of your "friends" were looking to get out of the plans they made with you.

My understanding is that the baby, equipped with only instincts / biological hardware, is hyper-aware of the raw emotional communication of their caregiver.

It's this really raw, basic emotional experience which shapes our "core" understanding of ourselves and the world we live in.

"Healthy" attachment in this early stage comes from the caregiver being able to regulate the emotions of the baby. If the baby doesn't feel connected to the caregiver - such as if when the baby cries they don't receiving loving reassurance of their safety - then they form a dysfunctional template for social attachments and poor emotional regulation ability.

If the random babysitter has consistent and parent-like loving connection with the baby then maybe you're right, but I doubt that's the case.

What's there to feel sorry about? Twitter isn't facing any regulatory scrutiny over this, let alone possible fines.
Hey, good question. My gut says to go reference that book I mentioned and make a guess for you. The author talks about the different stages of attachment and how it affects the forming brain. I'll try when I get home tonight.
His predictions are correct, or at least they were until he made them.
Why?

For this purpose, C is a very convenient and very portable assembly language. You could use a verified C compiler like CompCert to convert it to machine code.

In an ideal world, there’d be no C compiler in the loop at all, sure. But in practice it’s not causing any trouble at all in a ZZ -> C -> machine code workflow. Quite the reverse, targeting C has some major benefits. (There are C compilers that are very fast, very highly optimizing, very portable, and/or verifiably correct.)

Edit to add: just realised I might have totally misunderstood your comment, sorry! Apologies for jumping the gun if so.

If you just mean can we save the generated C to disk instead of compiling it, yes, I would hope so too.

Incorrect, iOS does allow explanatory text on the system prompt, in fact it’s required.

Ask HN: Learning resources for second-line managers?
I've recently grown my team organically so now I'm managing ~40 - 50 people with a few managers reporting to me (in a M2 position at a FAANG).

I find I'm struggling to find resources, books, and materials on pointers as a second-level manager (there's lots for first-line managers that really helped me when I was more junior).

For example - the role feels very different to the things I had to do when I could be more hands-on with ~10 - 20 people where my day was spent on more tactical activities; whereas I find myself a bit aimless at times and focused on coaching my managers to get results and being more reactive as a result (e.g. there's only so much time you can spend with your directs at a time).

I'm also trying to get good mentors internally, but wanted to know if anyone has recommendations or materials on how best to grow into this role.

Thanks
Show HN: Hacker News Map
Hey Everyone!

We made a hacker news map so you can hang out with other readers in the cities you're in: https://summerplaybook.com/g/HN-Map/e2e3d3bc5699417b8c54bbb252bebbf1?in=v6&rn=hn

We run this website, summer playbook, which helps college students meet others near them over the summer

Thought we'd toss up a hacker news map while we're at it. Catch us around the birthplace of YC, Cambridge, MA, if you sign up :)

It could use a little polish on some of the edges but it gets the job done. The goal here is just to help people meet others around them.

Though we wouldn't mind if a startup or two resulted from it (see: how the zapier founders met!)

If it turns out a lot of people really like it, maybe we'll polish it up some more, but we're mostly focused on freight software right now and really just want this to help us meet other HN readers. How it works is you add your name, location, any travel dates, and a bio. You'll then see a map with other HN users and can message them. They'll then get an email with your email in the 'replyto' section.

P.S. there's a part in the signup where you can add your gmail contacts -- feel free to skip that. It adds a "gmail contacts" map where you can see others who opted in on a map, if that's something interesting to you. It's a way to see friends and acquaintances using the site even when they're on other maps.

I'm not so sure a lot of women had the choice of being full-time mothers and have good living standards. My mother worked, and so did her mother, and both households required both parents working to make ends meet.

I'm also not sure there has been wage erosion. Since I've been alive, wages have only been going up. However, cost of living has also been going up, and at a faster rate than wages. So while I don't have any source to support my hunch, I'd guess the problem is that living is more expensive than it ever was, not that women entered the workforce.
Use a capital I just to make it parse weirder.
