I like to think I have a keen eye and pay attention to subtle details. I don't think I see a difference between the two addresses. Your message seems to state they're different though. Did HN normalize the differences? Did my browser?

In a blaze of stupidity, I decided to to copy and paste into my terminal and pipe it through a hex dump [0].

* The character difference doesn't show up in the viewport in Firefox; of course, it's rendered.

* The character difference doesn't show up in the HTML editor; of course, it's showing the "raw text" and the "raw text" is valid unicode.

* It doesn't show up in the browser's network inspection of the response payload. That's the scariest part in Firefox IMO.

* It doesn't show up in my Terminal either. Why shouldn't it? We've fought long and hard for terminals to support Unicode.

Of course, then there's the fact that I decided to copy and paste from a browser into my terminal even though I already knew I shouldn't [1]. What else could be hidden in unicode? An entire bash script starting with `sudo`, perhaps? Websites can already inject their shitware into the clipboard with clipboard events [1].

this. tldr, undergrad degrees awarded to Blacks are highly skewed towards women. Somehow this has been misinterpreted across the web as Black women being the most educated group.
Alot of what makes physical gyms work are just that, they are physical spaces that (a) you at minimum to traveling there out of routine (b) you just spent that time getting there, better work out instead of getting back on that tempting couch or bed 2 miles back at home ;)

I've only ever seen working out at home long term for very disciplined people and it's not large group either.
You picked a single example that's also referenced in a stackexchange answer that did a fair amount of work exploring the usage of the symbol.

"It can be found in that context. But it is surely not the most recognisable symbol for Antifa in the US."

https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/47917/have-anti...

So ok, maybe we can give the benefit of the doubt. By why not use the actual symbol that's very predominantly used in Antifacist protests? It's very easy to find and much more familiar and relevant. Honestly it would have made for a better ad.

And in isolation this is a single mistake, but the administration has been repeatedly criticized for using fascist symbolism and language, including "America First." At what point do these things stop being coincidental?
Pitches from Paradise: Creative Pitch Deck Design and Storytelling for Startups
I've subconsciously burnt a number of opportunities to end up in a relationship with perfectly good women over the last few years. I work full time, I'm a single father and I'm studying. I get time to date between uni semesters but deep down I think I realise I don't have time for a stable relationship. At the same time I'm a human who has needs to develop connections with others, develop intimacy, etc. I don't see why dating-forever is seen as such a bad thing if you actually like dating.
Patreon seems much better than the ads model. Maybe the next generation of tech and media companies can finally break the century old shackles of ad-driven businesses.

You can not directly use a credit card to gamble in Vegas. You can however get a cash advance at the ATM or the Cashier's Cage for a fee, so indirectly yes.
Tim, it should be possible that the main .exe (or binary on linux/osx) to export functions, and they can be found back through the flutter_engine.dll/.so, right? (At least on windows it's possible for the exe to __declspec(dllexport) things, not sure on Linux).

But even if not, if there is a way to (given might be slow and tedious) to compile what would've been flutter_engine.dll statically linked to your main (host) app, and maybe somewhat hinting here is how to find the "GetProcAddr/dlsym/etc." functions - if one is to look for them.

Further on, the generated from dart .so file can be embded (as resource? or slapped at the end of the binary/.exe?) + slapping all other resource - resulting in single app :)

I know it's possible, just not so easy to support it (I guess). It's similar to have java/python can be packed into one executable with all C/C++ ffi functions they call (at cost of some build time and effort to achieve so).

Then you'll have killer platform for video conferencing (zoom, bluejeans, etc.), messaging (slack, etc.) - and just single binary to deploy.

(Oh, on top of that slap a web server into it, and make it that if called with specific command-line option, now it acts as web-server, and the app is visible through the web).
As I said: the good (not "blind") faith social science venues presume is also presumed by hard science journals, an important fact you're decided to pretend I didn't point out, and one that refutes the Areo Hoax authors arguments. I think we can be done now.

> Across many applications areas, we’ll be left with a choice of using a 90% accurate model we understand, or 99% accurate model we don’t.

I remember a doctor telling me that about a condition my child had. He said that "generally" it wasn't dangerous. It was interesting because to him what was important - naturally - was to work with the numbers and get the best overall results - without knowing or understanding exactly why. It was better for him and his time use to just know that it was "generally" OK. From my point of view I wasn't interested in "generally" but only specifically whether it was going to be dangerous in this case.

I think when the shit hits the fan for one personally then 90% you understand is going to be vastly better than 99% you don't. In a world where everything runs on the 99% model I imagine most people will have it good, but sometimes insanely terrible things will happen. Maybe that's ok.

As someone (I forget) pointed out we already have a form of opaque AI in the form of huge human bureaucracies that produce outcomes without anyone understanding all the steps that produce them. So maybe we already partly live in that world.
Unfortunately, the author/article seems to completely miss the meaning of "joins don't scale".

Obviously indexed joins on a single database server scale just fine, that's the entire selling point of an RDMBS!

The meaning of "joins don't scale" is that they don't scale across database servers, when your dataset is too big to fit in a single database instance. Joins scale across rows, they don't scale across servers.

Now a lot of people don't realize how insanely powerful single-server DB's can be. A lot of people that assume they need to architect for a multi-server DB don't realize they can get away with a hugely-provisioned SSD single-server indexed database with a backup, with performant queries.

But if you're absolutely sure you need to be planning to run at close to Twitter or Facebook scale one day, then yep, you'd better architect from the beginning not to use joins. And then whether you pick an RDBMS or NoSQL solution is mostly a tooling issue.
Actually, it's a really good question. I don't know. I haven't thought things through (yet), I just realized that I can't abide the thought of eating such a cool critter now that I've actually seen what they're like.
I find it interesting that you said: “Only an idiot would say the output of a model has anything to do with the moral question that of how things should be.”

My understanding of the article is that people often share this sentiment, but they often believe this property implies that an optimization procedure will only reflect bias rather than amplify it. Then the author goes on to show that this perceived implication is incorrect.

I.e. your algorithm not understanding an existing bias does not mean it won’t amplify bias — it means it won’t care, which is precisely what allows it to amplify the bias. Because the bias exists in the underlying data, your algorithm can discover and overfit to that bias. Without a “regularizer” to control for this, it’s probably a bad idea to think the algorithm does not amplify bias.

So if my understanding of your comment and the author’s post are right, I think you would both agree that at the end of the day: something needs to explicitly control for the moral question of how things should be, because the general optimization procedures we use do/will not. Is that a fair statement?
Excellent analysis! Do you have CoreMark scores instead of DMIPS?
Structural racism ensures that whites have better access to education/experience from an early age. By the time VCs get involved, it may well be meritocratic.

They also have a surprisingly low margin interest rate for low net worth individuals. As far as I know only Interactive brokers beats them (and they beat everyone at every level). We like to take the piss with lol wsb and so on, but I know for a fact their clearing partners have a lot of respect for their operation. I see them as a Tesla tier operation: lots of haters, but they do more right than they do wrong.
You can avoid snaps by using Synaptic Package Manager. I learned this the hard way after installing Xubuntu 20.04 and finding every piece of software I installed from Ubuntu Software Center was either a slow, buggy or completely broken snap image.
I get the impression that (crucially: outside of Facebook/Google-scale applications) the strongest advocates for No-SQL databases are great software devs who just had a poor experience with SQL databases as juniors or students - or didn’t develop have the necessary experience and skills to make the most of a SQL RDBMS because it was out of their field (e.g. game devs); they’d be missing things like not understanding relational-algebra or relational-calculus - or not even knowing SQL at all - or having the DBA skills to know how to define the best indexes - or even what a cardinality-estimate in an execution plan is. If you throw all of those topics at someone and also add that they only have a week to build the thing - it’s no-wonder that people turn to No-SQL.

I’m not putting those people down either - I would have opted for No-SQL myself if I wasn’t already familiar with RDBS theory and management. What I am criticising is the large amount of manual-management needed when you do run an RDBMS because this is putting people off. Instead, things like automatic index generation and pruning, nightly index rebuilds and statistics computing, etc arguably SHOULD be part of the RDBS out-of-the-box and enabled by default. To my knowledge only IaaS databases have features like that (it’s what justifies their subscription pricing). I believe some on-prem database server products will generate recommendations but they won’t automatically implement them on their own accord.

Another “approachability” issue I have is with the design of the SQL language: it’s unnecessarily verbose and very confusing for beginners as its basis in relational-calculus instead of relational-algebra throws people off (“SELECT is evaluated after the WHERE clause?!”).

If SQL is like SGML and XML, which was replaced in many applications by the faster and lighter JSON format, can we do the same for SQL? Unfortunately there’s too much institutional inertia behind SQL for any of the DBMS vendors to go-it-alone, and beyond trivial queries all of the SQL implementations are incompatible with each other anyway.

In summary:

1. RDBMS servers should have an “automatic DBA”-mode enabled by default (because if it’s not the default then the exact people who need it (unsophisticated DB devs) won’t be using it, and the people who don’t want it will just turn it off anyway.

2. SQL needs to be replaced with something better: less verbose but just as expressive, and with all of SQL’s “gotchas” removed (like adding multiplicity assertions to joins, implicit joins when dereferencing a foreign-key, implicit locks, allowing comparisons to NULL, and leaning more towards relational-algebra instead of relational-calculus, and support for column macros: this is desperately needed for CRUD applications!)

do yourself a service and read a real scientific paper on masks (pre-covid when people dared studying the negative effects) and read what happens on the inner side of a mask

in a nutshell stuff that would leave your body when you exhale will now be trapped on the inner side of your mask where it gets more and more concentrated, far more concentrated that what normally enters your lungs, the new stuff gets deposited on top the old, building it up to form a biofilm unlike any other part of the body

The microorganisms in the warm and wet environment breed, bacterial growth happens fast, doubling times can be 15 minutes. Within an hour you got yourself a bacterial colony right there in front of your mouth, every breath you take is filtered through that mucus laden bacterial colony
Sure. I can also go get licensed as a trader and join a firm. Any barriers to entry are still barriers, even if it's as dumb as "the website isn't mobile friendly". For lower-income people, they might only have a phone.

It sounds dumb, but... when you go to those, a lower income 20-something feels like they don’t belong and would leave. "Charles Schwab" feels like it's for people who look like Charles Schwab.

What? I put on orders to buy two funds in Fidelity IRA and they still haven't closed my position and no explanation of what's going on.

Robinhood actually sent me an email and follow-up on outages, even though it didn't affect me one bit.

Robinhood actually gives tools and resources to explore and learn about investing, instead of it being "experts" only.

Every software platform has bugs and user issues but that risk is far outweighed by the services provided.
None of that is unique to Robinhood. All brokerage website provide you with similar information, notifications about hot stocks etc.

Most of that stuff is something I want to know. I don't want to make blind investments so research into stocks is a thing. And sentiment of others is additional information that has effect on stock price, just like wall street's analysts price target.

Really the only "sin" of Robinhood is that their app and website are fast and well designed.
Spreading green vehicles on the Earth's surface would stop vast amounts of CO2 being added to the air. The fuel cost is none (and sustainable for roughly the Sun's lifetime), fuel-transportation costs much lower, the waste costs almost nil. The investment would be large, the likely return on that investment substantially greater. The more quickly we make this choice, the sooner the world benefits.

Removing CO2 may be necessary; stopping CO2 addition has to become a critical priority.
>There is a HUGE market for this stuff, even gym subscriptions, that never, ever get used. I was friends with a Crossfit licensee and he said only 50% of people that paid actually showed up every week, and only ~85% showed up every month. The other 15%? They just kept reauthorizing charges, showing up every now and then when he called them, and then forgot again.

Basically how all gyms work, human laziness and human financial incompetence, though theres also a sprinkle of shady stall tactics by gyms for cancellation.
Yes, thanks for pointing that out (fyi interesting example because Switzerland has a lot of guns per capita) - but the general widespread availability of weapons makes them very accessible, both legally and illegally, in specific locations wherein people are going to use them for 'bad things'.

Also - that the vast majority of gun owners are 'very responsible' doesn't change the fact that as cops pull people over, there is a reasonable likelihood people will have weapons, which ratchets up the likelihood that someone, even in a 'good area' will do something bad. The likelihood is small, but enough to make a difference.

When I've been pulled over in the US, often the officer approaches and doesn't quite come to the side of the window, remains slightly out of sight, they might have one hand on the flashlight and seem to be quite concerned about visually inspecting inside the car as a precaution. In Canada, I don't really see this. I believe this is a function of the likelihood of weapons.

Also, America differs in citizens likelihood of doing something pretty outrageous when confronted with police. I'm not sure why this is, I guess a cultural attribute - but again, combine this with weapons, and it makes policing materially more dangerous.

Here's the data on high-speed chases in the US [1] and a 'high point' for high speed chases in the UK as a comparison. [2]

Here are the number of US police killed in the line of duty [3], it's quite a lot, and the number of UK police killed [4] (it amounts to about 1 per year).

A lot of guns, a propensity for more violent acts, I think really does shift the equilibrium.

Which doesn't justify excess violence by cops of course, but it's a different context.

>>Which is kind of terrifying for a country with democratic input. If people can't be trusted with their own money, why should they be trusted to decide who controls the American nuclear arsenal?

With this analogy, I think you inadvertently supported the opposite argument: the nuclear arsenal itself is not democratically controlled. Rather, we elect someone who controls it (with several layers of checks and balances).
Divorce after 25 years is statistically below average for a first marriage in the US. Waiting would have significantly reduced your odds of divorce. Overall, most relationships don’t involve marriage and many people never get married, so it’s really a question of what you consider below average.

I don’t think a relationship that ends is always worse than one that continues. Many stay together out of habit, fear, finances, having kids etc, continue long enough and someone is likely to die. Simply lasting a long time is thus a very poor measure of success. Arguably being happy, raising well adjusted kids, financial success, and or a host of other things could be considered a much better benchmark.

So I will turn it around, what’s the odds you would each have found a better partner or even become a better partner by looking longer?
Makes sense that when you're interviewing programmers you don't have to look for candidates proficient in your particular area. You need someone willing to learn

Conversely, if you're interviewing, signaling that you are highly interested in learning turns you into a strong candidate.

I learned this one by accident when I interviewed at a company I didn't care about

Relevant excerpt from a blog post I wrote [1]:

> I was wandering around the booths with my bag full of swag. My eyes caught a pile of rubik’s cubes being given away by some company I’d never heard of. I wanted one! Of course I couldn’t just go up and ask for it directly, so I went and chatted with the guy manning the booth. His name was Vince. A few minutes later I walked away with my prized rubik’s cube in hand. That evening Vince called me up offering to conduct a full interview loop on campus. I already had a job offer from a company I liked, but I thought “Sure, why not? I could use the experience”

> I had no intention of joining the company, they were some boring finance business. There was nothing to lose. So during the interview I felt free to ask any question I wanted. When I thought I got the answer to an interview question wrong, I’d ask “I don’t think I did so great here. What’s the right answer to this problem?” (I wanted to learn the answer for future interviews!). When asked a challenging question I could grin and delight in the problem solving aspect instead of worrying about how badly it would reflect on me. (Remember my smart aleck remark in the intro? That was this interview.)

> Turns out they liked that: the next day I had a second job offer. At a significantly higher salary than my first one. Oh, and they wanted to fly me to New York in two weeks for an introduction to the company. I still didn’t want to join, but a free trip to New York? Sign me up! The company’s name: Bloomberg

> Bloomberg was a practiced hand at recruiting. They had a full two days of events to leave us starry eyed about the company (I came thiiiiis close to accepting their offer). While there, Vince told me I’d made a great impression by fearlessly asking questions, even when I was stumped.

> Since then I’ve stopped hesitating before asking any question in an interview. Let your curiosity run free! Don’t cage it! And as an interviewer, I can attest: sincere interest is always a good sign.

Okay I thought that was per person. $100 is still expensive, however it's less jarring.

Basically this is another thing to take into account when considering moving to SV, I suspect.

There’s a lot of focus on price. $1500 isn’t terribly much if you’re building a home gym. A lower-end squat rack, bench, barbell, and weights set you back about that much. Another $500 for high end adjustable dumbbells. Some other accessories to round it out as well. $1500 for an affluent class enthusiast? Not too bad, and I’d expect the price to come down over time.

I’m more curious as to what this offers over watching a YouTube exercise class.
I was a hardcore gym user pre-pandemic. My wife and I also did various gym classes together for ‘dates’. Because of lack of time, I was already building a home weight gym, and the pandemic forced me finish. My wife wasn’t a work at home type of person though. Then we got a Peloton.

She rides it nearly every day, and has a group of people she rides with including IRL friends and people she met online. The difference of exercise equipment today vs. yesterday is the group and community aspect. I was skeptical, but I have added Peloton rides to my normal weight workouts. The instructors are good, and the connected aspect of the metrics (I’m numbers driven) pulls me along for more and harder workouts.
