I don't understand how this got downvoted, because it's literally what happens.

Universal credit replaces a wide range of legacy benefits. One of the legacy benefits it replaces is "working tax credits". These were payments made to people who were working and on a low income.

This part of Universal Credit "tops up" your earnings from work. They are in addition to your earnings.
is.

When someone on UC starts working they get their pay from work, and on top of that they get their their universal credit minus 63 pence per pound that they earn from work.

In the past if you did more than 16 hours of work in a week all your benefit would stop, but under UC you can work over 16 hours in a week and keep the money.

Does the matrix spec offer moderation tools? I don't see anything off the top of my head.

It's also a bit of a chore to even identify how to get a server. Matrix.org points you towards other implementers, Riot.im pushes you back to matrix.org for a login, and to "Modular" for a server.

This is kind of the opposite of low friction and ease of use.

It seems pretty slick from a technological point of view, but a bit of a mess from an implementation point of view.
There's actually a new feature for this! https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-windows-sandbox-windo...

However, I use Virtualbox and/or VMware Player a lot, and Hyper-V doesn't play well with others, so I can't use any features of Windows that depend on Hyper-V virtualization.

I personally use a UWP app that embeds Discord's web interface. It's surprisingly serviceable.
I believe when the proposition is socio-economic changes being proposed based on research there is a high bar and a high standard for that science and for the researchers conducting that science. I am not sure if I am there on climate change, I would be there on gravity if we needed some tax to offset it's effects. But gravity is physics a far more solid and predictive science than climatology is, so I expect the climate researchers to not proclaim it is as solidly settled as physics.
One thing worth noting is that UBI actually has an impact on supply,.

What people want to purchase is not simply housing - it's housing in their preferred location.

I think a big part of what makes housing desirable, for the bulk of the population, is ability to earn enough of an income nearby. If that's the case, UBI might actually directly create desirable housing (out of almost desirable housing) and increase supply.

I don't expect this effect would be large enough that UBI would put downward pressure on housing prices overall, but I don't really know.
For what it’s worth, I wasn’t trying to say that this is an easy attack, just explaining the supposed outline.
This is my take on this, too.

I don’t find this exchange implausible. Black women who represented the US would likely want to project pride in their country, especially an American with Soviets.

That is to say, what she said may not have even sounded truthful to herself, but it is plausible that it would be said in that context.
I live in NYC, and I have a roughly 1 hour commute each way, but I just take the train everywhere.

Of course I can't speak for anyone else, but I find that taking a train to work is a lot less stressful than driving every day. At least on the train, I can read, or pull out my laptop, or just play a video game.
Except we allowed progress to stall and now claim that's a virtue.

America is by far the oldest nation with a presidency, and it's finally starting to collapse.
Besides the usual pathos of all the folks losing their jobs, there's a whole subsection of the internet that would disappear / severely shrink.

You might argue that it probably wouldn't be a huge loss but that would be your perspective there.

Nevermind the fact that the ad serving market, once you remove FB/Google/AMZN, is actually quite broad and diverse, especially in the display/programmatic world.

This being said, Chrome recent announcement wrt privacy & 3rd party cookies might be the final blow for a lot of indies. Not that I disagree with you and I believe a culling and a new approach is required, one that purposely avoid the SV giants and centralisation of data.
Nah dude, just normal journalism and dumb HNs don't understand the benefit :)
Well, this certainly looks interesting. You mean I could use ModalEdit as a basis to bringing Kakoune like selection behaviour to VS Code as long as I'm willing to configure it? I have played with Kak, but Code's extensions are easier to use and more powerful still. I so very much would like to get the best of both.

Have you used Kakoune yourself? Is there something that's currently not feasible with VS Code using ModalEdit? I'm still going through ModalEdit docs to get an idea of what's possible.

Also, Literate Configuration is a good idea. I don't suppose there's a Jupyter notebook like editor available where markdown and code parts can be seen alongside in fully rendered form?

I support the conclusion, but I feel many of the arguments author makes are highly debatable.
Some of our hourly employees are on a 4x10 schedule. One wrinkle that has come up is for holidays and vacation days, which are paid at 8 hours each. The 4x10 employees end up being two hours short each paid day off. The company won't change it to ten hours as that is unfair to the 5x8 employees. Maybe if 4x10 became the standard, they would.
>Most programs can download new code and open whatever files they want as long as their process has the permissions. You can certainly argue that that shouldn't be the case, but calling Discord a RAT because of it is pretty silly.

I think it's reasonable to call it a RAT because it executes arbitrary remote code AND has those permissions.
>It is estimated that the average American commits about 3 federal felonies a day.

It has also been estimated that the above statement is poppycock (just now.)
Yeah that definitely helps!

Unfortunately I think I'd still need a few hours to unwind and get out of "work mode." I've worked jobs where I could actually walk to work and I still went home just drained. TBH, I'm an introvert and I'm not sure going in to the office will ever be really conducive to my personality.

I've worked jobs where I had an office to go to when I needed/wanted to be there but could work from home or at a clients office. That was wonderful. I actually showed up to it much, much more often than I expected - by pure choice. If I was having an off day or felt especially introverted and just needed a break from people I could just knock things out at home!
and the US didn't have universal suffrage until the 1960s.

Arguably we still don't, given what the republicans have done to subvert democracy in Florida.
Not to derail things further, but can you provide us more details about this astroturfing? How do you know who this person is? What is the background story here?

Sounds interesting...
Yeah, I'm referring to the latest generation, of which this AMD should fit that description.
A New Industry Is Born: California Truffles
In my opinion, there's a limit to the market size that can be satisfied by insular startups. SV is big enough that there's always another startup doing a bunch of the same things in another region. This happens all the time, as evidenced by the number of nearby startups.
"Privately" and "by email" are directly in conflict with each other as well.
I already don't use discord. My point is that it seems hypocritical to wall yourself off in a platform that bans third party software and tries to pressure everyone into using their client, while complaining that someone else is trying to change you to suit their needs.
I had to go back and search for the "+"es, but I think they're well suited to the context.

> I believe the formula I've given you, importance + novelty + correctness + strength, is the recipe for a good essay.

I wouldn't say he's really using "+" instead of "&". "importance & novelty & correctness & strength" doesn't provide the same feeling of adding, of mixing, to get a formula.
we're probably way too clueless on that, but it would be interesting to try out.

Chile's Project Cybersyn was coordinating productivity all the way back in the 70s, with Telex machines. Perhaps we can bottle some markets' behavior into computers and good C&C human structures.
Yes, this is an important comparison when there is adequate data.

Which, we're not really starting from the null hypothesis at this point, but let's pretend that we are.

Starting from no data, saying that there's no evidence that vaping is less harmful than cigarettes is no different from saying there's no evidence that vaping is less harmful than guavas.

There's no evidence. That's where the sentence needs to stop. Then you get evidence, and we can have an informed conversation.
FWIW those aren’t “medications,” they’re “supplements.” Regardless of the lack of regulating supplements being good or bad, it wasn’t what I meant in this case.

If those subpoenas aren't valid, then congress cannot possible act as a check on the president.

> Senate’s refusal to confirm Obama’s appointment of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court

Not a check so much as a complete refusal to perform constitutional duty. What McConnell did was subvert the process of checks and balances to remove the presidents ability to make appointments.
> Don’t waste your time watching these videos just because it is from MIT

This is actually pretty good advice. A lot of the other MIT Open Courseware sites were ... not very good. At all. Some were only a syllabus. Some of the video lectures were utterly unwatchable.

In this case, however, Dr. Strang's reputation is well deserved. Absolutely, don't just watch these because they're from a 'good' school. But do watch them because they are fantastic, if you have an interest in his topics.
That's just saying that having more registers is better. That's definitely true if you only have 8. It's also not related to the key point of the original post: whether selecting different registers - in situations where doing so has no effect on spilling - could change performance.
> What would be your plan if Segment added “backfill” as a feature to their existing product? Does your “automation” also provide significant advantages over Segment?

I don't think it's possible for them to provide the same kinds of backfills we provide. At least not without completely redesigning their infrastructure. In order to support retroactive backfills, we capture every user action up front. If Segment were to try to do that, they would suddenly find themselves processing an order of magnitude more data than they are today. If you want to support autotrack, you need to design your infrastruture from day 1 with that in mind.
Of course, you dont. You are white, right? I will only tell you something, I am willing to bet my life that no black/brown writer would write a character like her, in that circumstances, ever.
Don't go to Target then.
Don't cities have easily accessible and authoritative records on locations of important traffic controls? If so, that would make this problem a little bit easier.
Sound like FUD, what reason do you have to think a VPS set up correctly would have such a high probability of being exploited? What numbers do you have that show this is common?

(Also, again, someone could easily run something locally)

> Or is it simply that delivering 200+W at load through a CPU socket can't be reliably done at consumer prices?

It could be that the spike is the problem not the end load. The scenario in play here is going from entirely idle to maximum load in an instant. So the CPU is going to shoot straight from ~20-30w usage to 280w (or even higher if the power management is a bit sluggish at reducing the clocks). That's a pretty drastic swing if anything isn't entirely up to spec, assuming the spec even handles this properly.

In theory the 3970X could even spike all the way up to 430w. The individual cores top out at 13.5w, so if they all end up running at single-core turbo frequencies even for a split second that's going to be brutal.

> Anyone has had this problem with less high end CPUs? Something at 95-65 W?

My 3700X in an old X370 board has been flawless. As has many others, Ryzen 5/7/9 are _widely_ recommended and have been for a while. Any systemic issues in the "regular" consumer end would have cropped up by now.
I lived in the town (Stara Zagora) where that hard drive maker (DZU) was and knew a lot of people who worked there. In the 90s, They had an entire shift basically dedicated to piracy. Every single CD that was released in the world was immediately copied in crazy quantities and distributed. My room was full of CDs and my mom was so mad :)

It seems past the point where we need to have pro-information bot campaigns to counteract the disinformation/dezinformatsiya campaigns that are actively undermining western democracies.
"You can self-host Mattermost in a very straightforward fashion."

There's a very long chasm between "You can get the software running, and have it respond on a port to requests" and "Providing a mission critical service that your project relies on".

The key word here is service. It is often drastically underestimated how much effort is required to have a service available, especially at any sort of scale.

Free/Open Source software is irrelevant as soon as you are providing a service, because by design, the only people who have control over the service, are the service operators, and the only people who really know whats running in production are the people who deployed the code.

Given that, the only choice a user has is whether or not to trust whomever is providing the service, regardless of whether or not the software they are running is free/open source, or proprietary/in house software.
This is a problem I always had in university. Higher math always seemed to start with "the definition of X is Z etc." and I would never know what's the purpose of doing this. When I attended a talk of Gilbert Strang many years later it was eye opening because it was a totally different approach that always accompanied theoretical concepts with a concrete interpretation.

Actually I now think it might also be a cultural thing. If you take a look at the approaches the English Wikipedia takes vs. the German Wikipedia take explaining a vector space you'll know what I mean:

Popularly known as the 9-80 schedule. My wife has it, it's really nice to get the Friday off but it makes it rough for her to be at all involved in picking up/dropping off the kids (which is hard even with a normal 8 hour day).
Not right now, although we have plans to build a React Native integration in the future.
I gained some great intuition from http://matrixmultiplication.xyz/ and (of all things) a paper named "An Introduction to Quantum Computing"[0].

Page 3 of that paper lays out matrix multiplication (e.g.: applying a "transformation matrix" in the spatial parlance of 3blue1brown's videos) as a traversal of a directed graph.

This isn't super readable (it's from my notes to self), but my intuition is:

Matrix multiplication is a graph traversal:

* Each i,j in transform matrix (on left) pulls N (the value at that index) times the j-th value in the input vec (on right) into the i-th output vec index

* This is equivalent to an N weighted vertex from the j-th node to i-th node, so i takes N of j's previous value

* The input (right side) is a matrix? It's just multiple column vectors next to each other, repeat the above process and make a new output vector for each iteration

The one I'm currently in, software development. edit: I'm a relatively new arrival here, been paid to do it for ~1.5 years now, so I haven't yet had the opportunity to form a more specific aspirational sub-field.

It's what I should have just done straightaway -- dad's an engineer, his dad was an engineer, half his brothers are engineers -- but I didn't for a variety of personal reasons I won't get into here. I was always fascinated by computers and by prog langs in particular -- a deep curiosity about how text could turn into action, although I wouldn't have framed it like that as a kid. But I was the sort of dork who would check out books on C++ as a 10 year old despite not having access to a compiler or any idea what I was doing. This fascination kind of took a backseat until I was out of law school, working, and slowly realizing how miserable I was at the thought of 40+ more years of what I was doing.

So I took a long and circuitous route to get here, but now here I am, and eternally grateful for these sort of resources. Without them, the switch would have been way more difficult. It already took me 3 years of dedicated work; I can't imagine what I would have done without this stuff freely available. Probably would have had to pay to go back to school.
Asking for a non-voip phone number is a great way to (numerically) reduce spam a lot.

E2E does have a legitimate downside of letting low-quality content run wild.
Wow, that's ridiculous...
because it's not practical to write a Google Maps (or whatever) replacement most of the time? It's a ton of work. Sure we can smooth over rough edges but actually implementing lots of missing non-trivial things? Or, making things faster that rely on some 3rd party back end? Usually either not an option, or not an option without recreating the entire front end.
No, I am in EU.
True.

But the accumulation of @-signs, for example, seems to be a bit much.
Wouldn't it produce high-velocity charged particles?

Thus you would capture the energy with a "reverse coilgun", "regeneratively braking" the particles down to a non-relativistic speed, rather than just using them to charge a capacitor plate.
No to 2, I'm just saying I have doubts that Asange/WikiLeaks would reliably know who was actually behind the hacks.
But doesn't this rely on everyone else working 5 days?

If everyone had a 4-week, it would be just like the current weekend. You can't go to the bank or dentist, because they would also be off.

Perhaps you could get the same effect and quality of life by taking Sunday and Monday as your days off and working Saturday.
Interesting - do you have a source for that?

Makes sense though, and I think it depends on how much heat you extract - you could locally deplete the heat faster than it "regenerates" back to that area through natural radioactive decay and primordial heat loss
"Truly secure communications" isn't all that matters when discussing email security.

There are meaningful differences in the scale of access. It matters whether the NSA (or China or whoever) can just read everyone's email off the network, versus law enforcement sending requests to email providers where they are verified to be legal. It's the difference between lawful access and espionage.
If your workload is exclusively max parallel AVX2 workloads then you probably do want to hold off a bit, yes.

For everything else, though, there doesn't seem to be any cause for concern. It's currently a single stress test in a single very specific configuration that's failing.

For reference the tests that pass:

MemTest86 v8.3, 4 passes (~8 hours), RAM at 3466 MT/s [PASS]
MemTestPro 7.0 (paid version of HCI MemTest), 700% (~5 hours), RAM at 3466 MT/s [PASS]
AIDA64 6.20.5300 System Stability Test (full system test except local disks) [PASS]
IntelBurnTest v2.54 (based on Intel Linpack), maximum stress level, all available RAM, 20 runs [PASS]
OCCT 5.5.3 test, large data set, 64 threads, AVX2 [PASS]
Google stressapptest 1.0.9, all available RAM [PASS]
Prime95 v29.8 build 6 torture test, 64 threads, min/max FFT = 4K, in-place FFTs, AVX2 (~1 hour) [PASS]
Prime95, min/max FFT = 8K, in-place FFTs, AVX2 [PASS]
Prime95, min/max FFT = 16K, in-place FFTs, without AVX2 [PASS]

The tests that fail:

Prime95, min/max FFT = 16K (in-place FFTs or not), with AVX2 [INSTANT FAIL]

Note that an AVX2 workload is both in the passing & failing camp. So it's not as clear cut as "AVX2 doesn't work"
If you are trying to kill 40 hours that works. Why not 14-14-12 or 20-20 where you take 4 hours from each day to get the 8 hours for sleep.

I remember going to an interview somewhere and during the summers they came in at 8:30am each day (instead of 9) so they could get off at 2:30pm on a Friday. That sounded like hell for no big gain.

We need to go down to 20 hours.
I think that you have that backwards. It's the laser driven inertial confinement fusion approach that is useful for weapons insights. The very low density and slow kinetics of fusion in a tokamak are much less like weapon fusion reactions.

Lawrence Livermore -- a nuclear weapons lab -- has studied inertial confinement fusion for decades. They don't have a tokamak.

There are ways to work around the system around metro hubs that tries to push you towards the standard of commuting 2 hours or more each day to get to a higher paying job, but you have to search for them and be flexible yourself in your search for a job that's flexible.

These days, it's likely semi-remote work, where you commute 1-3 days a week or in off hours (part of day at home, part at work). For me, I've been lucky enough to always find something that I found interesting and that pays well enough while not having to commute more than 10-20 minutes in the local area, and that's having been born, raised, and lived my entire life 45 minutes North of SF.

There's not guaranteed to be something good in the borderlands, but I think people might be surprised what they could find if they can resist the call of the behemoths (and those that congregate in the same area) while being within throwing range of them.
How would anyone know? I keep seeing HN posts of people losing their Google accounts for some unspecified ToS violation (that is, if they can get any information about their ban from Google at all).
