In this case it's the moderation that's causing the problem. Get rid of the moderators. Get rid of the "real name" policy. Then people will be free to take the piss out of uptight idiots broadcasting nosiness/panic/hate. Having a small power structure creates a low stakes political game which allows these busybodies to dominate, similar to homeowners associations. Note how the examples mostly threaten to call the police and similar impotent crabbing, rather than actually doing anything themselves.

I have struggled with anxiety. It's always been a low-level constant in my life with suicidal ideation and mild panic attacks. I have never treated it beyond irregular talk therapy and CBT.

The lockdown in the US and the safety of my family has triggered me severely. I found myself unable to function, and would doom surf, opening tabs, refreshing news, watching graphs move up and to the right. No thought, just monkey level reactions.

I started taking medical THC, and my life has changed for the better. I can focus. I can relax. I can live a normal life. I can approach the covid situation with thought, not gut level reaction.

All of this is to say, if the article's drugs work for some, they need to be available. Legal marijuana in my state has made a huge difference in my life -- if other psychotropics or psychedelics help others, then let's get them out there.
Thank you!

Yes, that is beautiful, true, and illuminating.
I've worked closely with executive protection and corporate security. Despite the occasional screw up it is a "known thing" that hedge funds have been tracking tails for years and rent jets for sensitive meetings. Hedges have also caught on to swapping planes during a refueling stop (Colorado and Nashville were common for this).

Companies with multi-plane fleets usually have at least one "anonymously" registered via Aircraft Guaranty or Wells Fargo Trustee Services.

If I'm continually pushing buggy code, that's something that I'm going to be personally held accountable for. Blamed if you will. That's because I'm the only one involved. My team isn't constantly writing buggy code, I am.

If I push buggy code into production and take down the site then the team is to blame. Why is our process setup such that I can do so. EVERYONE, even the best programmers will make mistakes, and if the process allows those mistakes through to production then the TEAM has failed to build a suitably robust process, not the person who happened to write a bug, because every human being will be that person one day.

Your taking a once sentence philosophy about how to deal with technical incidents and treating it like we're advocating it as a universal and moral absolute. No one is claiming that if I throw a rock through someone's windshield my whole team should be arrested. What we are saying is that is I make a slip up and write a bug that takes down DDG, I shouldn't be held accountable for taking down DDG. If there's a larger pattern of poor decision making I'll be help accountable for THAT, but it's completely 100% separate from the outcome of knocking production offline.
> As concerned physicians, we write to deconstruct the misinformation and condemn the ways this weaponization of medical language reinforced white supremacy at the torment of Black Americans

Holy shit. I had no idea science already has become such an ideological battlefield. These people want to do away with inconvenient findings when these findings prop up some 'white supremacy at the torment of Black Americans'.

Well, is it an IDE that supports LSP? If so, it should just work. If not, then ghcide won't work with it. Providing a language server is the whole point of what it does!
It’s not a “de facto dog whistle.” It is a straight up slur directed to white women.
You still have to support the policy, process claims, customer support, etc. The biggest expense on a unit-economics level, post claims paid, is marketing -- acquisition and retention costs.

If you look at the auto insurers, it's incredibly competitive and everyone is trying to balance those unit costs with the loss ratio. They are all moving targets but premium pricing is heavily regulated meaning your pricing will 100% come under scrutiny from some states (this must be done individually for every state in the U.S.) so any changes to pricing tends to be a complex process that could take months, if not a year+ (in some states) to take effect.

So when you get pricing wrong and are taking a big claims loss, it takes some time to dig out of that and you'll also piss off lots of customers who got in "cheap" and are now getting a rate increase. And when you get pricing wrong and you're loss ratio starts looking better, your competitors may be out-pricing you, making you uncompetitive until your adjustments are improved.
True, but being able to BS is a great reason why people would pay you more.
It's important to highlight the type of things you'll learn. I don't know if I ever became a better software engineer in a technical sense through working at startups that have any kind of struggle. Startups that are on a rocket ship might have time for building their employees or the money to hire employees who know how to write code well without supervision - but most don't.

The other aspect here is a lot of people have a different idea on what joining a startup is. I've heard of people saying, "Oh, I'm joining a startup!" And then it's Uber just before they IPO. Maybe technically Uber was a startup at that point but I've been at a seed stage company - they're not even remotely comparable experiences. I worry people who have only worked at startups with 10+ engineers, super engineering driven culture, and lots of funding are giving the advice of, "work for a startup! It's great!"

Most of the time - it isn't great. It's terrible and not being a founder is the #1 reason I never want to join a startup again. All the risk - none of the reward and none of the power. Fucking sucks.

Umm, no - this is not just a 'common trope'. The CTO of Vizio has stated in multiple interviews that removing the data collection capabilities of their TVs would increase the prices. Direct quote:

"The greater strategy is I really don't need to make money off of the TV. I need to cover my cost."

and

"It's not just about data collection. It's about post-purchase monetization of the TV."

They are betting on the federal government stepping in. It's somewhat understood that it's impossible to insure against natural disasters of that scale. The payouts for normal fires or car accidents in an average year is predictable over the claim term.

Natural disasters don't work that way. Insurance companies might go 10 years without a major claim, then suddenly there's a major disaster and 10% of their customers have claims that far exceed the value collected by the policies over several terms.
I'm bummed that authentication wasn't discussed until the last 2 paragraphs. And then only topically.

> We figured out how to make a personal certificate authority on your own computer,

This isn't entirely true. I can make a self-signed cert, but there's no root of trust exdcept my computer: someone else can make their own self-signed cert claiming to be me.

I recently bought an SMIME cert from Sectigo for $20. There needs to be a personal CA and commensurate tooling, but it is still not widely available for non-miliatry.

Is there a way for me to get a personal cert that can be authenticated with a CA? Because I've been looking for some time. MozillaZine has a page on SMIME certs, but 80% of the names are crossed off.[1]

"How is a pension fund investing in WoW diamonds any different than a pension fund investing in a diamond mine in real life?"

Volatility.

Since I can see it coming, the fact that real-world assets have a non-zero volatility does not mean that the level of volatility in virtual assets isn't a difference in quality and not merely quantity.

What happens to your WoW diamond's investments when the next Wow expansion brings out UltraDiamonds and the latest shiny hot BiggerNumbersThanLastTime weapons and armor can only be bought with those? Again, the fact that this occasionally happens in the real world still has nothing with the routine nature of this sort of thing in the virtual.

Only an idiot would invest in Wow diamonds. Put your money into buying stock in the company running WoW instead.
Yep, this is a huge caveat that this thread missed. Thank you for raising it.

For health insurance, the rule is:

> Health Insurance companies must spend at least 80% of the money they take in from premiums on health care costs and quality improvement activities. The other 20% can go to administrative, overhead, and marketing costs.

As a health insurer, you can lower premiums while increasing spending on "Quality improvement", to provide a better experience at a lower rate, and increase your market share. This is one dimension of competition that is only beginning to be competitively explored.

If you can get quality improvement at lower marginal costs (which is ultimately a tech problem), you're a more competitive health insurance company.
Congrats with the announcement!

I dont understand the negativity. Looking forward to seeing your channel and your format. Maybe it will work maybe not. Great initiative. I'm from the industry, and people I work with were excited about the news.

Responses here in this thread remind me of /r/linux culture. Strange, it's a HN I haven't seen.
That would require 2 Devices supporting Ethernet-over-HDMI, and one of needs to have routing/bridging enabled.

I have -up2now- not seen 1 device, where the combination of HW/SW was capable of offering ethernet to the Device OS.

AFAIK, no (mainstream) PC/Embedded/Mobile graphics chip/firmware/driver combination supports this. Please do indicate a counter-example, if you know of one.

I consider that unlikely to change too, since Ethernet is limited to 100Mbit over HDMI. Gigabit (Wifi) ate that lunch.

Outside of "Device-Collections" from e.g. B&O, that might use that comm-channel to have a "guaranteed communication backend" available, I see no real (commercially) interesting reason for implement it.

Having said that, I'd be very happy, if GFX-card/TV vendors started implementing the optional parts of the HDMI spec, like CEC,ARC, and Ethernet. I'd find use for it.

I agree that it's trainable, but to create a good icon a first timer can spend several hours. Several hours in which they could be doing work that they have trained for.

If one intents to be a sole developer then yes, they have to improve in all fields, but when one is in a team one has to let some things go, and let people better than them on that field do them.
> when I have those 70+ (rare) or even 55+ (more often) hour weeks

This is likely a different phenomena. You're burning more fuel by working longer. Especially if it comes with less sleep as well.

The brain is quite a fuel-hungry organ and will crave sugars and carbs when stressed. If you're also sleeping less, you're burning more physical energy as well simply by being active longer.

I regularly lose weight during hard weeks unless I compensate by eating more.
I mean to be honest, it isn't burning fossil fuels that's the (CO2eq) problem. It is the emissions they leave. The problem is emissions, not where we get the emissions from (argument restricted to climate). This does seem to be a missed point by many. The problems is emissions, not source. The reason we talk about sources is because they correlate to emissions.

This is so very disheartening. I will speak only for the United States, as I am not familiar enough with other countries to comment. Not only is this impacting nearly every single person in the country, it is ruining the financial situation of over 40m people, primarily concentrated within the most financially vulnerable. This is because leaders on the left and right have refused to respond to new data, and are working with the same plans set in March. We _now_ know that children are at a very low risk, people under 40 are very low risk. Most risk is within shared living situations (migrant workers, retirement homes, prisons). We can respond to the _real_ risks and use a nuanced approach that actually saves lives. But instead, the left says "lockdown lockdown lockdown" and the right says "open 100%"... Both are full of shit to the point of it being disgusting.

This isn't a game. This has life and death consequences so far beyond COVID-19, and the lack of foresight that the partisans are demonstrating will have reverberations for generations. We are playing the life of real people, we are risking the financial security of real people, who have families and debts and dreams.

Finally, the fact that the public health sector has devolved into partisanship really has me worried for when we _actually_ have a repeat of Spanish Flu, or a more virulent Ebola etc. Then we are screwed.

I don't understand this. What is the messenger you are talking about?
That's the "Wearing the Hair Shirt" talk, for those that are familiar.

"Purity is more important than, and quite independent of, laziness

"The next ML will be pure, with effects only via monads. The next Haskell will be strict, but still pure.

"Still unclear exactly how to add laziness to a strict language. For example, do we want a type distinction between (say) a lazy Int and a strict Int?"

From plinkplonk:

"It is through insisting on laziness as default and solving some of the problems encountered (via monads for e.g) that he arrived at the position that "the next Haskell will be strict". He also notes some open problems with adding laziness into a statically typed strict language (slide 40 "Still unclear exactly how to add laziness to a strict language. For example, do we want a type distinction between (say) a lazy Int and a strict Int?")."

So why is he relevant to "the Future of Authentication"?

I could see Martin Hellman being relevant, maybe. But there's no real substance in this piece, certainly not from Jermoluk. What I got out of it is that PKI is the answer. As I think DNS-based PKI is the answer, I think he's not too far, but he's probably selling something I don't need or want.
It's a description of a specific type of behavior usually found in a subset of white women. Also, completely appropriate because it is borne of privilege.
I have the same negative experience. Never felt the "relaxation" effect people get from marijuana. And i really need it, I was always told it was the strain I was smoking but I think I've tried ever major strain and never found a good one.

No. In fact, WordPress sites generally rank better due to the free SEO plugins like Yoast--I believe Matt Cutts stated these a while back. Google itself has also built great plugins for WordPress like AMP and Site Kit (https://sitekit.withgoogle.com).

Recording multiple cameras simultaneously on a Mac
This is something that definitely weighs on my mind, I think. I've got an MSc, but I feel intense self-doubt and feel like I can't be an expert until I've gotten a PhD. In that sense maybe I've internalized the idea, and telling myself I'm not "qualified" to speak on issues of science in my field. And not to mention, doing a PhD brings the benefit of several years of being able to devote full time to learning and development. A full-time job can (should) be a growth environment but one's work will always be subordinate to business needs (most often applying knowledge you have rather than learning new things), and take most of the time of your week.

The quest for autonomy and recognition is rough, it's a very tough game and it's not easy to stay motivated at trying to make progress.

> One of that is the realization that our sensory inputs, how we process them, and also how we understand ourselves, the world, and the separateness of the self from everything around us - are not preordained. The way we look at all of them is not the only way. We think the way we think because we've evolved to it. What we see is not the objective reality; it is just a filter through which we perceive it.

Yes, this is exactly the take away one should take in my opinion.

Going into deep spiritual meaning about nature is a rabbit hole.
This whole issue was originally that Western Digital was trying to hide which HDDs were SMR. ZFS can't be changed to have special behaviour for SMR drives if the vendors try to hide the fact they are SMR, even from software. It wouldn't be able to identify them.
I'd point out that the article referenced above comes from a group that could hardly be said to be 'dispassionate observers' themselves.
Actually, even the first two tables comparing the frequency of 1,2,3,4,5,6 when obtained using primes vs. a fair die suggest that consecutive primes do not give a truly random (uncorrelated) way of choosing congruence classes mod 7.

If I throw a fair die 10^6 times, the probability of getting any given single outcome should behave according to Poisson statistics. On average, if I repeat a trial of 10^6 die-throwings many times, the number of outcomes of "4" (let's say) should be on average 10^6/6 = 166,667 , as mentioned in the article.

However, the exact number of times "4" comes up in a given trial itself follows a distribution around that average whose spread is about sqrt(166,667), or about 400. So the typical "error" in the frequencies given in the table should be ~few hundred.

By this reasoning, the deviations in the top table, the one given by the primes, are surprisingly small -- of order tens rather than hundreds. In other words, primes are more equitably distributed among congruence classes than we would expect independent die roll outcomes to be.
Even if you have separated concerns by having method 1 return Monad transformer A and method 2 return transformer B, you will still have to combine the results of both your methods at some point.

"In this century, we have become accustomed to heated political debates that somehow avoid contact with reality."

Which is a big problem. It keeps the US from actually doing anything.

(Then again, that may be a good thing. The current administration does not do much follow-through, so most of the weirder ideas stay rhetoric and don't get implemented. Compare the rise of the Nazi party. Much of the stuff they planned to build in the early years was actually built, from the "People's Radio" to the autobahns. With the organization in place to build, arming up for WWII could be done effectively. If the Nazis were all hype, they would not have been able to do much beyond their borders.)
I don't think it's really that you lack imagination; it's that the human condition is quite universal in a lot of ways so the insights you gleaned were not particularly novel. But the real value is in actually taking the insights to heart, rather than dismissing them as empty platitudes.
That's true, and AFAIK know due to this, insurances that are bound to those regulation don't touch black box ML with a 10 foot pole. When we were pitching ideas to an insurance company ~5 years ago they basically said "If it's not human-explainable we can't use it".
How do you figure? A 6 month CAC payback period (based on the numbers you are quoting) is totally fine for a recurring revenue stream, even if it were at typical SaaS churn rate. Besides which, churn is really low in insurance, certainly much lower than for the typical SaaS product.
