If you're implying that most of climate science is statistical modeling, please be specific and say so. While there is plenty of statistics in the field[1], the majority is basic physical science and dynamical modeling. Equivocation between statistical and dynamical models is surprisingly common on HN and leads me to suspect that a person hasn't taken much time to learn about climate science.

[1] Calling it a single field isn't really fair. It's the nexus of many specialized fields, most of which are purely physical sciences.
Interestingly enough I used to work at a company where the one any only benefit was occasional doughnuts on Friday (we did not get health insurance/dental/vision/retirement). And honestly we would all be pissed on the days when Doughnut Friday was cancelled.
Curious: what problem could be solved by a human (or group of humans) but not a computer (or group of computers)?

Well, if they don't want to, then the liberalization won't do anything. So it looks like a Pareto-optimal move.
I am pretty sure except the employees all participants are making good money off these deals.
I should be bothered in a theoretical sense, but I'm just not in a practical sense. I just bought a Legion series because it was the best deal (because Asus doesn't sell in my country). If I'm running Windows, I'm going to get random arbitrary bloat anyway, so I don't really see the mechanism as important.

The first place was a Nike store and not a retailer that you had purchased your last pair from?

I suppose it depends on how much importance you place on having a varied wardrobe. For me, past the age of 25 I could no longer care about spending hours in a mall trying on different brands, comparison shopping, and figuring out the fit.

If Brand A is of suitable quality, price and fit, I'm buying Brand A for as long as they keep making that article of clothing.
We'll see if it materializes into a truly bold and long-term improvement (out of character for Toronto), or fizzles out into marginally effective solutions sandboxed into very limited time/space constraints (very much in character for Toronto).
One has to wonder if some of the nonsense criticisms of 5G (causes disease, government conspiracy, etc) have been deliberately amplified to drown out legitimate technical concerns.
I'm not an RF person, but the way it was explained to me is that GNSS signals are in the neighborhood of 1560mhz-1610mhz. With the advent of GPSIII, even more of the important signals are getting pushed outwards towards the extremes of that range. Ligado/Lightsquared initially wanted permission to basically surround GPS (1526-1559mhz and 1610-1660mHz)

After lots of complaints, they amended their request to leave a buffer of 20mhz or so between their signals and GPS. However, Ligado wants to transmit at ~10watts, and the GPS signal is in the neighborhood of a femtowatt by the time it hits a receiver. That can apparently still cause interference. For the GPS chip in your phone it may not make a huge difference. However testing has shown degraded performance in aviation GPS receivers more than a mile away from a 10watt transmitter. For even higher precision receivers (think surveyor equipment or maybe an autonomous tractor) the radius of the degradation stretches more than 2 miles from the transmitter. Ligado wants to put their transmitters ¼ of a mile apart.

Zoom's problems aren't really a matter of having security talent, they're a matter of the company as a whole not prioritizing security. Fixing the former doesn't fix the problem, it just makes for good PR. The latter is a requirement for the former.

Brian Krebs talked about this a bit in the wake of Equifax:
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/12/a-chief-security-concern...

Assuming Zoom is really trying to fix the problem, it makes a lot of sense to bring in management (and/or teams) who have experience with bringing security into engineering culture, as opposed to individual security experts who may not even want to work for Zoom in the first place.

It's really interesting, but I wonder if as a society we're willing to complicate our roads to the level of adding any sort of functionality to them. Asphalt is wonderfully easy to work with, just pour, grind up, remelt, you can keep reusing it. Even then maintaining our roads is a challenge. Adding electrical infrastructure to the roads themselves to further complicate how you would re-pave, resurface, etcetera? Even if technically feasible, I don't know if we have the economic/political feasibility that's also required to make that work

Cars are a major counter example. Over time the Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Honda Fit all started at about the same size but the current Accord and Civic have grown significantly larger and thus more expensive. The idea is to let brands grow up with people, so someone who bought a civic at 30 can likely afford a slightly nicer civic at 35, and also needs an incentive to upgrade.

A few well received wine brands for example have had very rapid price increases. However, it’s more common to increase prices a little faster than inflation which quickly adds up, see Disneyland for example. What brands can’t do is lower cost and quality then try and quickly add it back.

PS: In 1964 Disneyland charged 25c/day for parking per day or about 2.08$ in today’s money. Except they currently charge 25$/day for parking.

What is the source on Sidewalk Labs planning to build skyscrapers? The definition of a skyscraper is over 40 floors, the most I see in any of the mock designs are at most a dozen floors.

I used to supplement with a huge oversupply of lysine, enough that I could smell it on my skin, and taste it in my saliva. I could never detect any effect, whether shortening an outbreak, reducing severity, or preventing an outbreak. I have had to conclude that nerve cells that host the virus manage to keep excess lysine outside the cell.

A peanut or nut binge would definitely worsen an outbreak, though.

Oral acyclovir also has no effect on the strain(s) I have. I have had an outbreak start while taking acyclovir prophylactically, and proceed through the whole cycle.

Valacyclovir 1000mg still works. Initially, one tablet. Now, 2 or 3.

Luckily I have never been asked for a whiteboard coding either. For me, the most amazing interview is one with the full team in a casual format. It’s kind of a luxury for a busy team but at the same time I felt like I’m being valued. At the end, it’s also proven that it’s the best decision I made in my life as the team is truly amazing.

But I'm not sure is there any other form taking less valuable resource and yet achieving the same.
I'm not going to disagree that our governments tend to play political hot potato. You can downvote all you like but I don't feel any sympathy for abusive "investors" like Big Tech or Big Oil who all too often socialize the risks but privatize the profits. See for example Amazon trying to get billions in tax breaks for HQ2. See also the Keystone XL or Northern Gateway projects. The oil companies have excellent propaganda machines operating tirelessly to convince Albertans that the rest of the country is being unreasonable when they demand environmental controls and assurances.

Not all investment is beneficial to the citizenry. I'd much rather my government err towards overcautious than overpermissive.

Zen is great if you have moderate utilization code around the ~2-3 instructions per cycle mark. This is common for most compiled C and C++ where it hasn’t been specifically tuned for ILP. In these scenarios even if Intel has an extra ALU it won’t be used anyways.

It took 3 days of tuning to get to a point where Intel started pulling away from my Zen2 chip. No matter what I did the Zen2 would not get faster because it was already at max utilization.

Lemire had a blog [1] talking about this on here a few months ago as well. Most people were surprised because frankly Zen2 is very competitive with Intel for normal compiled code.

> road to hell is paved with good intentions

Unrelated but I really dislike this phrase because it tells us nothing, it's not actionable, nor is it accurate. The road to heaven is paved with good intentions too. There are other roads to hell paved with bad intentions, and probably a few to heaven with bad intentions as well.

A more accurate saying would be "be careful of unintended bad side effects". That's something useful you could say in the workplace in response to a proposal.

We've been using Wire in our company for a few years now, I can't say it's a great UX or bug-free, but it gets the job done and supports most things we want like being available on all platforms, key verification (proper e2ee, not like Keybase that trusts the server on first use), (group) calling and (group) video calling, audited, open source, sending files of course, timed/expiring messages, no need for a phone number upon registering... it's really quite complete if you're willing to put up with it being a sluggish web/electron client. Well, and the network effect: I wish more people were on it so that wouldn't be a barrier, but Keybase had the same issue there so this might be a good place for Keybase users to continue chatting.

Ok. Thank you for the input. Google-fu brings this cite from dw:

€1,500 ($1,700) per month gross for full-time workers, Germany has one of the highest minimum wages in the European Union.

So it seems you made about $20k. Obviously, this isn't much money, so props to you for that. It is about double what UBI could offer (at least in the US) in a country with one of the greatest social safety nets in the world.

This made me think of living in New York, during the $1-pizza-slice boom during the 2008 recession, and I was curious how those places were doing in more recent years. Looks like 2 Bros. Pizza (as of 2018) was still sticking to a dollar, but other places may not have:

> It’s a beautiful system, but it’s quickly vanishing from the city’s food landscape right from under our noses. The spots that used to churn out this style of pizza, many of which still have the awnings over them marking them as $1 slice establishments, are giving way to outside forces and silently raising prices to $1.25, $1.50, and even two dollars per slice.
The simplest version is my best choice is the one that, given your possible choice, provides me the greatest outcome or the basis of Game Theory.

The Red Cross is a civilian organization that is not part of the army and was not, as far as I know, obligated to provide free donuts or coffee.
We will indeed.

I'm hopeful, though. For all that can be said about Tory he has proven to react in the peoples' favour when he actual has to face the consequences of not acting. I'm referring to the case of our subways A/C breaking in the middle of summer heat waves. When he actually rode it end-to-end with someone who raised the issue with him and he stepped off at the end of the line drenched in sweat he actually acted and it tangibly improved.

I'm hoping this may be a similar situation and prove to be a silver lining.

For some of us, if our users bounce, they get fired, because the site is the tool they use to do their job.

That's the point.

The stated design - which I haven't reviewed in depth, but let's roll with it - is predicated on the use of a random s-box. Their goal is to have half zeros, half ones. That strikes me as strange, because my understanding is that confusion typically comes from balancing output bits for any given input bit.

But fine, we'll take it. I'm willing to bet the first 2^13 digits of pi are as balanced as any random number you use to bootstrap this thing.

FWIW, AIUI, totally random S-boxes typically give great non-linearity but perform poorly against differential cryptography. I'd bet that if anyone tested this one out that's where it would fail.

I’m subscribed to r/SysAdmin. It was pretty interesting to watch that subreddit as social distancing measures came into effect. Lots of companies needed to make a lot of adjustments, fast. Networks had to be setup, laptops had to be acquired, VPN capacity needed to be scaled.

Sysadmins have a pretty thankless job, but they really deserve just as much praise as healthcare workers for what they accomplished at the opening of this pandemic. There are lots of stories on that subreddit of achieving impossible deadlines and keeping companies running in the middle of massive logistical changes.

So, this is all to say, kudos to the sysadmins out there who keep everything running smoothly!
I’d have no problem buying Lenovo if that’s what my local computer store was offering as refurbished reasonably priced laptops.

I think as long as a landlord can make twice the amount of money, its gonna be really hard to keep that down.

It also creates a lot of incentives to increase housing stock though no? If suddenly I can make $4k/mo on an apartment I'm building instead of $2k, wouldn't I want to build more apartments?

We've tried just about everything other than being permissive with new housing. We refuse to scale our most popular areas to live, with the idea that what makes it nice will go away if there's more people. That just makes it exclusive and expensive.
Fair enough. But I would imagine the vast majority of those folks will be looking at $300-$700 CPUs in that case - going from a top-of-the-line CPU to a low/mid-grade seems like an unusual choice.
Exactly. People 20-30 years ago ate that stuff up; these days I think most people see it as garish and tacky.

Wealth signaling absolutely still happens, but today the facades it tends to orbit around involve words like "minimal", "natural", "open", "honest". Organic groceries, modernist houses, meditation retreats to exotic places, environmentally-friendly vehicles, freedom from clutter and complication. These, sadly, are unattainable for many people. And so of course, brands have co-opted and packaged up that fact to be sold as a set of signals that make people feel good about themselves in comparison to others.

I'm sure most people would have fun if someone financed their vacation. The difference between your situation and basic income is that your income is because you are providing enough value to people that they pay you money, while basic income is other people paying you money (taxpayers) with no expectation of providing any value.

"I really enjoyed my vacation paid for by my automated business and therefore basic income will improve people's well-being" is not a good argument for UBI. Of course people will have a good time when someone else is paying for them. But how does society afford to do that?
