The LEO dictionary is a consistently-good online dictionary for German <-> English:

It seems to have a strong sense around "returning to a previous place / state", not just "turn around". Which is where the mathematical use of "invert" comes from, because an inverted function swaps the domain and range. But also words like "repent" being a possible translation; to repent of your actions and thus (ideally) return to a previous state of innocence.

I don't know about that. I think you could also logically deduce euphoria as a response to the world. It depends on what you want to do with your life (both long-term and short-term) and how the world can accomodate that.

P.S. It’s not “luck” for a small time swing trader to make a little money. Its something you do every day, using math, psychology, and timing on companies carefully selected for their fundamentals. The market is a large, slow moving entity that constantly shows its hand. A small timer can make money. Will it scale? I don’t know. I’ve been steadily increasing my account so ask again in 5 years.

Admittedly, there are days where it’s hard to see where things are going - especially high vol days. But when vol comes down and the market slowly heaves one way or the other, there are tickers that pretty much always go with the flow. Buy low, hold for the swing. Or short a bump and sell lower... it’s really not rocket science. Just don’t get greedy... hit your target a get out.

The real question is: is it worth my time in terms of ROI? Frankly, no not yet. I am streamlining the work, semi automating thru alerts, triggers, and buy/sell presets. But my paycheck and my side hustle still pay better. However I’m on a slow trajectory right now and I’m curious where it’s going. Will I plateau? Yes probably. But I’m enjoying the ride.
After Brexit was decided, the UK tried to rejoin EFTA

That's not true.
Sort of but not exactly, because IIRC they used a downloadable client. I wanted something that could run anywhere easily, hence the browser client. I used KL a few times, and followed their story, and found it interesting they moved to Tokyo. At the time I considered Import.IO, KL, Connotate, Mozenda and DiffBot to be the main competitors. My main idea as a point of difference was to be able to share the structure you've mapped on web apps, and share the action sequences as things others can use, so everyone gets a network effect benefit from the work of everyone else.

Thanks for posting. I don't think I knew they were YC, and did not know they were acquired by Palantir. That's interesting, and good news. Means the market is growing.

> The Normal Distribution is your best guess if you only know the mean and the variance of your data.

That's awful advice for some domains. If your process dynamics are badly behaved (statistically), such as power laws and likes, it turns out the "mean" and "variance" you're calculating from samples are probably rubbish.

Choosing a starting distribution is actually a statement on how you're exposing yourself to risk, there is no such thing as "best guess".

There is a secondary issue on this sort of thinking too. Sometimes you can doom out anything worth doing. I see it on the internet quite a bit. "look at the cool project I built". Then come out the doomsayers. How everything is wrong with it. The opposite happens too. But the negative ones stick out in my mind this morning :)
Looks like a modern Visual Basic 6. Neat.

VB6 was so horrible and productive at the same time. Single person could build an app in days that a team of 10 would struggle with today.

And a group of 10 could bring said app to a stretching halt.

So many memories, good and bad.
To answer the question of "when should you change your opinion?":

All new data should change opinions, even if it's a small piece of data that affects your opinion only on the margins, it is still a change toward an opinion that will better map onto reality.
Taking CS50 feels similar to watching a movie that has an auteur’s fingerprints all over it. Every word in the lecture, every technology, and every problem set has been carefully crafted to fit together to create a cohesive experience.

It is a good one, but the way it gets applied drives me a bit batty sometimes. Hickey includes some concrete examples of simple vs complex, and there exist people who will extol this talk and then pick the choice from the complex column every time. Really wonder what they’re getting out of it.
I believe I read somewhere that when the framers wrote the US constitution they expected it would have to be rewritten every generation or so. I wouldn't exactly call the US gov a long term organization at this point, but if that's true (I admit I'm struggling to find a source right now, so correct me if I'm wrong) then the current form of the US government does seem to have survived beyond it's original intent.
I know that in my close group of friends more than half have opened up about dealing with depression but that it might be that way for the general population is counter-intuitive to me. It makes sense when you think about it, though: Obviously the couple walking down the street are going to seem happy, and all the acquaintances you see once a month won't be the ones opening up to you.

The bike was around $700-$800 new (I bought it used for $500). It's a Public bike, and their closest current model is the PUBLIC M7i, which retails for $799.

It's a target, but it's certainly not a "juicy" target like, say, a $3k mountain bike.

The bike thieves continue to steal the small stuff, notably the rubber attachments which hold my bike lights, but haven't been able to steal the big stuff (frame, wheels, basket, seat) in a long time.

One of the strangest things that was stolen is the yellow electrician's tape I used to "dog" my seat with—they painstakingly peeled off the tape, but left the seat.
Tucker Carlson claims New York Times wants to expose where he lives
No it's not. "I didn't find my keys, because I didn't look" isn't circular logic, it's cause and effect. It doesn't mean you'll find your keys if you do look. Circular logic is when you tell me "I'm not going to look for my keys, because there's no evidence that I can find them" - of course you can't find them if you don't look. Which is the official government line:

>The UK government rejected the committee's call for a full assessment by intelligence agencies of potential Russian meddling in the 2016 referendum, saying it had "seen no evidence of successful interference".

They won't investigate, because there's no evidence, and there's no evidence because they chose to ignore the evidence at the time of the referendum - as found by this report.

To bring us back to the key analogy - "I've been walking around with my eyes closed and haven't found my keys, so clearly I shouldn't look for my keys, because I haven't found my keys"
Ah, so "edification" is what you think you're bringing to HN with your novelty attack-dog account. As per your account's bio description, I would wonder how you feel about the "fomentation" of cynicism and negativity on HN as well.

Asonance also allows adulation.
Excellent points. Everything in this country is aligned with being wealthy. Look at how they attack 'public schools', and 'teachers unions' ruining education and want to use tax dollars to subsidize private schools. Who can go to private schools? Rich kids, and extremely smart kids.

I helped my GF do her taxes. 18K in student loan interest (most of her loans are 4-7%), of which only 2.5k was deductible. Meanwhile, I do well, have assets, and paid $28k in margin interest. ALL DEDUCTIBLE.

What type of debt is non dischargeable? education
What loans are essentially non refinanceable and much higher interest rates? education

It's as though the rich want to keep the poor, poor.

The republicans were able to push through tax reform that benefited real estate investors, and wealthy individuals that live in low / zero tax states. It's as though Donald Trump's sole goal of being elected was to make his family more money in the long run.

When most have nothing, the pitchforks will come out in the form of policies championed by the likes of AOC and Bernie Sanders (not that they're all bad).

Student loans need to be dischargeable in bankruptcy and need to be privatized. This way, there will be accountability with the university education.

People need to be able to purchase medicare policies if private insurance costs more than x% of their income.

Corporate tax needs to be super low for those corporations that provide health insurance with out of pocket expense less than x% of salary, $7k / year in retirement contributions so that they'll have incentive to reparticipate in the social contract.

The original Brexit result was pretty much endorsed when the Tories were re-elected in the election after the referendum.

If Labour had competent leadership then you could argue that, as it was they were run by somebody completely out of his depth (and who wanted Brexit).

(absorbed by osmosis during my time at Zest, a JIT produce handling company)

Harvest time is extremely hectic. There's a very small window to get months worth of produce picked, sorted, cooled, packed and shipped. Cooling is a major bottleneck, because capital for refrigeration is not unlimited. Likewise any delay can be a major issue- if a truck is slow to load, how do you know whether or not you need to re-cool your produce first?

It's well known what temperatures produce does well at (can't be too hot or too cold without MAJORLY affecting end margins) because it's easy to test by setting a fridge to a given temperature. It's much harder to know, for a given type of produce, how fast it will cool or heat, and how long you need to spend doing that. It's not as simple as sticking a thermometer in it, which will create paths for heat to move into and out of the produce. Even then you still don't know what the heat distribution inside the produce is so you can optimize the temperature over as much of the plant as possible.

It's really quite tricky and stuff like this helps farmers a lot. IMO farmers do more actual number math more than almost any other occupation (ex: [1]). Much of it is rules of thumb and guesstimation, but they still are constantly balancing dozens of figures to make choices every day. They're always doing mental calculations in economics, biology and physics. Even if the job wasn't so physically and technically taxing, I would respect the hell out of them just because of the mental workload.

Complete and utter nonsense. People absolutely should be arrested for arson. It doesn’t make it any less legitimate when you use scare words like “unmarked” and “abduction”. It doesn’t make their rioting any more legitimate when you call it protesting. There isn’t even anything to protest. Anarchists, who are overrepresented in Portland for some reason, enjoy destroying society and we should not tolerate it. There can be no liberty with anarchy.
What's really frustrating is that Bourbaki's way of approaching set theory and abstract algebra remains canon today. As a result, even though category theory and modern mathematical logic are nearing their first centennials, folks are still very hostile towards any reorganization of fundamental objects which doesn't place sets on the bottom as the bedrock.

The weird groupthinking behind the Mandela Effect
It's because majority of us have no real problems to solve, so we do what everyone else is doing in the corporate world and make ourselves useful that we can keep collecting paychecks. Best way to do that is by over-engineering solutions to problems that are already solved.

Or we can replace perfectly functional systems simply because replacing legacy systems with modern solutions has some intrinsic value on its own, even if the modern system brings no additional value.

There are bunch of real problems that could be solved with software, but there's no money in it so why bother? It's better to roleplay technical expert and collect consultation rewards doing nothing.
This is a very clear 'from first principles' explanation. The module tree and filesystem tree picture next to each other are great.

The only step in the logic that isn't explicitly explained is why you need to do 'pub mod' as supposed to just mod.
In this day and age, your client libraries should be generated automatically. And of course used in your apps/webpage to save time.

We needed a documentation solution at work. MY coworker had some experience with Wiki.js.
What sold me on it was that you can use markdown and it can keep itself synced with a git repo.

This gives us plan text files that are tracked in a repo. It uses the user as the author, so now I can "code review" edit's to our wiki.

The content of the wiki is easily cloned by cloning the git repo. It is markdown in folders so if wiki.js dies at some point I could write a pandoc script to turn it into web pages again, you do loose all of the cool UI features.
Echoing fretn's comment. This material sounds like a patently bad idea for general commerical use.
If Alphabet was to shutdown, other compaines would fill the void with their own products. Some will be existing companies, and some will be new companies.

There are lots of alternatives to many of Alphabet/Google's products but people don't know about them because Google dominates so many product spaces.

There are other email providers to Gmail. There are other map options too.

I can easily believe companies will create their own mobile OS to fill the absence of Android (Jolla already exists, maybe Windows Phone will make a comeback?!)

There are other search engines too. We have a variety of web browsers.

We'll still have all the free fonts previously hosted at fonts.google. Someone else will probably collect and host them in a central place or people might be more likely to self-host them.

GSuite can be replaced by alternatives (they already exist).

Of course, there is a lot of back-end engineering that Google has contributed to the internet infrastructure we don't see. But the web will continue to work fine.

Two Google products I can't see being easily replaced:

- Street View: this is something that needs the time and resources of a large company.

- YouTube: this has accumulated so much content it's hard to see this replicated easily.

So, yes - a lot of the user-facing products from Alphabet/Google can be provided by other companies, or can be created by other companies.

“Delayed gratification”

I second this approach. Helped me get more out of CS50.
Since it is still working to great effect, it looks like we will never have internal enemies within our government(which makes sense you don't want to look divided/weak). It will always be The Russians or the Chinese of the day. All too convenient, I hope someone on the inside can gather resistence but it feels like the machine is well oiled and programmed. We can only hope/work towards better education in content consumption.
Sorry, no. Anarchists trying to burn down our communities get arrested and go to jail. That’s the social contract. No extrajudicial violence. Rioting is abominable and inexcusable behavior. I’m amazed you’re surprised by this.
Upgrading OpenBSD on a Pentium 133
Have their been any open source attempts to make a Bloomberg Terminal-like tool using freely available APIs (such as https://iexcloud.io) and/or scraped data sources? It wouldn't have to be "real-time", but I think it could be interesting to have a similarly-styled, keyboard-centric "Finance & News" dashboard.

Honestly, although in a self-paced MOOC format you can probably get away with it, the MIT 6.001 course really isn't the place to learn programming, programming environments, etc. for the first time either. It doesn't ostensibly require programming background, but it's at a far different pace and level than the actual "intro to programming" course I took way back when in college--and I had even had a programming course in high school which was fairly unusual at the time.

ADDED: I'm also not sure what to think about C in an intro course in this day and age. Sure, as a CS major, or even as part of a good programming curriculum, understanding some of what's going on under the covers is important. But that feels like a Level 2-ish topic at this point.
First Covid Vaccine May Be Approved in 2020, EU Regulator Says
>Multiple people are involved. Credibility is on the line, among many subtle subroutines of group psychology that we aren't even aware of. The solution from Tetlock, express your opinion as a probability, is a solution to the problem in its group form. When people are in meetings making big decisions, a lot more than the big decisions is going on. Human power dynamics are taking place. Being right can play a very small role in these.

Except expressing it in a probability form doesn't remove the group dynamics problem but rather makes it worse I feel. Or rather you're back to square one and gain little. The probability is no longer your confidence but the number you need to give to satisfy group dynamics. Not too high or you may be punished if the view turns out wrong. Also not one that disagrees with the people in charge too much. The original approach implicitly argues that without power dynamics you make better decisions.
It not really a turing test, its like probing the "associative memory" in a huge database for compatible strings, except that memory is just a map of indexes to indexes. You need to use more abstract and non-sense stuff to uncover the raw mechanism, but its still statistics not "understanding" what these words are(they're just indexes with high correlation to other indexes) and stringing them into run-on "generic templates".
