The rules of the game of baseball lend themselves to home team advantage where the order of team at-bats and substitution rules heavily favor the home team from a strategic standpoint if players are effectively deployed.

Park dimensions + team makeup is a combination that can contribute heavily to home team advantage. The short porches in Yankee Stadium (especially in right) have traditionally granted an advantage to the Yankees' often left handed sluggers. The more the field dimensions vary from the norm, the more the home team has an advantage to tailor their team makeup to exploit them. Parks with high walls, short porches, heavy prevailing winds, deep outfield fences, or absurd dimensions ( Think Willie Mays fielding center at the Polo Grounds) all present opportunities for exploitation.

While the Astros had more wins on the road than at home during the regular season from 2017-2019, their 2017 postseason home/away batting splits were wildly inconsistent. Boston had the best home record in MLB by six games during the 2018 season in which they were found to be relaying signals to batters. I'd suggest that home field presents a greater opportunity for outright cheating as well.

What I mean is that negative income tax is just a way of implementing a particular kind of UBI. It's not a distinct thing. In what way are the incentives different? You must be referring to a particular kind of UBI which is distinct from negative income tax.
Your product puts an emphasis on user friendliness. If your target user has not deployed to cloud before, you’ll need to show clearly just how much easier/clearer/more manageable/$improvement having Revolv is.

For prospective users who have cloud experience, they have already developed workarounds and/or gripes with tooling and management. Consider adding quotes from your user research to illustrate the benefits ( plus what you already mentioned as in the pipeline).

How fast can you digest the blog content into the current product copy? Having the info easily available will be better for conversion.

Lastly most companies prefer to known their expenditures ahead of time, and respond strongly to less uncertainty. You’ll get more traction with a pricing scheme that is independent of the variable $ cloud charges.
I think under normal circumstances there's some sort of 1:1 physical copy to loaned one.

But under the "emergency library" they loaned out as many books as were requested.
I did already pay for them via my tax dollars that were used by the Public Libraries to obtain them for me so I and my fellow tax payers could borrow them.

Also most of Europe locked down hard enough that the death rate now is quite low, fairly steady at a few hundred deaths per day.

It seems concerning that they would be hanging onto traffic logs for that long. Seems like a massive PII / data breach liability.
Would that be for the same reason automobile traffic slows to a crawl when there is a traffic accident to view? (Not talking about traffic in the same direction which is subject to lane closure and slowed down for safety of responders but traffic in the opposite direction.)
Ok, now this is funny.

I agree the degree of newsworthiness would be lesser - but I don't agree with the implication that the president in question should not be a variable in the equation.

Yes, it's based on Terraform.

Your GitHub repo looks super useful! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

At the time of writing, when you "eject" an architecture, we remove all the "user-friendly" features that we've added.

So you have a fully-working architecture in your own cloud provider account. Like the one you could have been created using Terraform.

We've thought of adding an "export" feature to export all the Terraform/Ansible/Packer... files.

You have to match infinities with infinitesimals.

This is a pressure on our monetary system to enable efficient payments of ~$0.10. You could say that the ad industry's very existence and success is a statement and proof that our monetary system is too inefficient.

Google is filling a huge hole in the modern instantiation of money, which makes their success look inevitable.
You have come to the correct conclusion.

The logical leap that you are missing is that prices don’t always rise quickly enough as a response to increase in wages. What a person is willing to pay is only part of the pricing equation. You also have to consider what competitors are charging and how much potential margin there is to play with.

Inevitably though, all prices consolidate and all players in the market will charge more to meet the increase in wages, it’s just a slow process.

The only time it happens quickly is if each business conspires to raise prices simultaneously, which isn’t going to happen or may be illegal.

So yes, increase in wages or handing out UBI inevitably raises prices after a period of time, necessitating the need for even more increase in wages and more UBI. It’s not a one and done thing.
Citymapper is a limited amount of cities. What do "real" cyclists use? I get the feeling they use a garmin-like gps devices made for cycling?

In the past, I've tried to plan a route in google maps (for just driving), but once you import and try to use it, it recalculates your route.
Yes, it's meant to be much easier for non-technical teammates, plus has more collaborative functionality built for teams (easy to share access, team-wide edit history, real-time collaboration).

I tend to think of tools like DBeaver as being built for individual, technical users, while BaseDash is built for cross-functional teams.

the theoretical reasons for not increasing minimum wage is not inflation. it's a decrease in employment.

empirically, however, things are sticky and so we have not observed concomitant decreases in employment with (small to moderate) increases in the minimum wage. my other guess (not sure if this is supported by the literature) this can also be because not only is the market sticky, but because workers were being paid a lower wage than their employer could have afforded.
And fast.
To the consumer, maybe Pirate Bay and a library and reading in a book store look the same, but behind the scenes they are very different. For a library or reading in a book store, the store has paid the publisher for the book you are reading. They can only let as many people read as copies they have purchased. In Pirate Bay’s case, someone pays for the book (but not necessarily) and then infinite people can read. Same thing to a consumer maybe, but very different to a publisher or to an author.

There’s a reason libraries will buy multiple copies of popular books.
Still a long way to go, you might top it.

Thanks for the clarification in grandparent comment, i wasn't aware.
What about 'hardware'?
There seems to be confusion about what I'm saying. I'm not saying C can't have recipes for concurrency. I'm saying it can't abstract those recipes well.
Opining on things without reading the article becomes really obvious when there's an article about a non-trivial idea, but people only comment on the surface level attributes. E.g. an article about coding style may opine that as long as it's consistent it doesn't matter that much, but people will opine about tabs vs spaces, how smart indent should be a thing etc...
I think it's mostly location-based. NYC, Seattle, San Fran, Austin, Denver, Boise and more cities have seen significant rent increases. On the other hand, we have Rust Belt cities like Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Detroit, Cincinnati, and more where rents haven't risen at the same rate.

Edit to add some specificity, although it's not "rent". Here [1] is a 3 bed/2 bath house in a very safe Chicago neighborhood for $325k. The local public elementary school is an 8/10 and the high school a 7/10.

>The point is a US passport is great to live in the US, that's it.

Yes assuming you never want to work or live in the US, compared to a Swiss passport and a handful of other passports that's true. Compared to 90% of countries on the planet, it's not true.

>the IRS issue is a real problem in a country where the median salary is just under 85k$ per year (no need to be a rich guy).

How many dual US and Swiss citizens are making under under or anywhere near the median income? It's very hard to migrate to Switzerland, so my guess is not many.

It's an interesting argument, but it doesn't address how you balance electricity usage, biodegradable waste, and non-biodegradable waste.

Let's assume the article is correct and coffee pods result in more efficient use of the coffee. How much more efficient does this have to be to balance out all the extra plastic?

Just comparing the energy needed for growing/processing coffee and manufacturing pods isn't enough. How do you factor in all the pod waste? What is the metric there?

The article argues that recycling coffee pods is feasible... but I've never heard of anyone actually doing that, and I don't see how they ever would.

It does affect Haskell language itself (GHC anyway). See moomin's comment.
I think that example is more than a small step away from undermining the constitution via delaying or cancelling an election in order to stay in power. The Democrats did the same thing with Clinton’s impeachment. It’s politics for optics. Not destroying the foundations of government because one guy doesn’t like his odds of winning.
I know the company has had some difficulties as of late, but I’ve found Strava to be quite effective for route planning. Mostly because it can route you according to “popularity”, so it’ll put you on roads that other Strava users regularly ride on.

This is great for a lot of cases, although sometimes it’ll pick a road that’s great for road biking on the weekend but not so great for commuting on weekdays.

I wonder if Strava could create two heat maps based on what I imagine are the two big clusters on their user base: road bikes and casual commuter cyclists.
How so?

TSO is a valid implementation of the ARM memory consistency model.
Covid has really driven home a point to me. As a society, we are statistically illiterate. Politicians and journalists particularly so. Most of our important, newsworthy information today is statistical.

This is a real problem. In the context of public schooling, I think statistics needs to become the primary discipline taught in high school maths. It's more useful to our work life, and (relevant in the context of public schooling) essential to informed citizenship.

Literacy is a pretty close analogy here. The average person is totally ill equipped to to read politically relevant news and form an opinion about it. Often, the person who wrote it is just as ill equipped.

Statistical statements have a tricky form. They seem like a statement of fact. They are, kind of. It's a fact that this researcher measured what she measured. The implication though, that's conjecture, and it may or may not be a good one.
A model working and producing a personally.desired outcome are two separate things.

The assumption of a labor shortage because of low nominal unemployment is incorrect - the gig economy is thin margin as it is even with poor pay. It utilizes the previously "idle" labor in a marginal business model but without sufficient demand in other sectors it only provides a low floor.
That section is about payment processors and chargebacks. Which is standard practice across the board.
Inkjet makers are not cannibalizing their own market. They understand the basic reason that people purchase inkjet printers in the first place—because they think about capital costs and not operating costs.
As I understand it, they said “there are probably copies out there unused, we are using those”, but had no agreement and only “partnered” later, after the announcement, as a post-hoc justification.
I could be misremembering but I believe that middle-click paste just makes the terminal feed the contents of the X selection to stdin of the running process. I could be wrong (because there's so much arcane knowledge in terminal emulators that I won't even pretend to have scratched the surface) but I'm not sure if Vi(m) can even tell where the input comes from. Well, maybe it could by using the speed at which the characters come in I suppose, although even that might end up being unreliable over remote connections and the like.

In my humble opinion expecting good X integration for a terminal application is bound to result in frustration. I use vim in the terminal but I also never use the mouse and I configure Vim not to interact with the X selection unless I specifically instruct it to using "*. If you want better integration with the graphical environment why not just use gvim? That's what it's for.

I agree the parent made an unnecessary, though obvious, accusation, but the article doesn't feel like fearmongering to me. It seems like a legitimate concern that is newsworthy, regardless of whether he can legally do what he is suggesting.

As for whether it belongs on HN: I'm undecided on that. I lean toward "no", but I understand the arguments for it.
What scares me is that most of us measure truth in terms of "how many people upvote/like this tweet/thread/post,"

I certainly do not equate votes to truth, and I hope most HN readers do not. Voting on HN is just a way to avoid adding shallow comments. I always assumed that most of the people on here are used to treating the popular opinion with a grain of salt.

I believed this particular story because it seemed like something Apple would do, which maybe is a bigger problem in Apple's image. Or maybe I'm just cynical.

If the issue of predator treatment of consumers were addressed first, a large amount of the pressure for UBI will evaporate. The poor are poor due to predator capitalism, not due to any lack of skills on their behalf.

"just work hard"

and the left responds with

Enterprises See Rise in Data Breach Costs, Shift in Security Spending Focus
During COVID, the IA created an emergency lending program under which they would lend an unlimited number of copies of the books in their library rather than sticking to the 1:1 lending they normally allow. This resulted in a more or less immediate lawsuit from publishers claiming copyright infringement on the basis that the IA had no right to share those titles without restrictions.
If you want to do UBI, the correct implementation is:

- Give the same amount to everybody* , with no means testing to avoid it become a political football. Bill Gates gets it too. This also removes any dis-incentive to work while also collecting UBI. Otherwise congress with write up a 9000 page law about who gets how much and when, which they then hold everybody hostage to.

- Pay for it with a flat tax on all income from all sources, including capital gains, dividends and carried interest. All the money goes into a separate off-budget pool for immediate monthly distribution. Like SSI, but with no 'investing' in treasuries or anything else. Don't let the politicians get their hands on it. Money comes in and immediately goes out. This makes it self-balancing. As people reduce their work, the pool shrinks, causing some people at the margins to re-enter the workforce. As we become more productive the pool will increase, allowing more people at the margins to reduce work if they want to. The tax rate can be adjusted as necessary as we see how it's working out.

* "Everybody" certainly has nuance to it that has to be defined. Children? Green card holders? Illegal Aliens? Felons? Inmates? Citizens living abroad? This is certainly an important definition, but less important than the overall idea.
That poetic thought at the end is beautiful. Forces and actions (dual tothings) have shapes that are dual to living things - most likely because those spiraling shapes are more protective against forces than right angles.
Opening paragraph:
"“Research both sides and make up your own mind.” It’s simple, straightforward, common sense advice. And when it comes to issues like vaccinations, climate change, and the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, it can be dangerous, destructive, and even deadly. The techniques that most of us use to navigate most of our decisions in life — gathering information, evaluating it based on what we know, and choosing a course of action — can lead to spectacular failures when it comes to a scientific matter."

Its dangerous to trust your own judgement. Trust the experts. Thanks Forbes!

In reality, this is a ridiculous argument - its just 'appeal to authority'. It devalues the individual. If you don't value your own judgement you are beholden to companies, corporations, etc that may not be acting in your interests.

My favourite example for this is diabetes. If you don't eat carbs or sugar, you don't overload your body and don't need to enter the medical system. This is to say that I am claiming you can manage your condition with a careful diet only.

Which medical company would advise you to do that?! None. There is simply no profit in it. I hope I am conveying the principle, whether you accept my thesis or not - and if you are a diabetic you should test this for yourself. My main point is that you need to trust your individual judgement - corporations, governments, and their paid for experts are not 100% trustworthy.
That is a fallacy in language design. Humans do not have an algorithmic shortcut for parsing; if it's hard for the machine, it's hard for the human.

For short chunks of program text, we can probably rely on our natural language abilities to some extent. Those capabilities allow us to deal with transformational syntax, and ambiguities. So that is to say, we have a kind of general parsing algorithm that is actually way too powerful for programming language syntax, but which only works over small peepholes. Most speakers will not understand (let alone be able to produce) a correctly formed sentence that is too long or too nested. It's as if the brain has a fixed-size pattern space where a sentence has to fit; and if it fits, then a powerful pattern matching network sorts it out. Whereas a programming language parser is unfazed by a single construct spanning thousands of lines, going into hundreds of levels of nesting; it's just a matter of resources: enough stack depth and so on. As long as the grammar rules are followed, and there are resources, size makes no difference to comprehension.

When reading code, people rely on clues like indentation, and trust in adherence to conventions, particularly for larger structures. Even relatively uncomplicated constructs have to be broken into multiple lines and indented; the level of syntactic complexity that the brain can handle in a single line of code is quite tiny.

We also rely on trust in the code being mostly right: we look toward understanding or intuiting the intent of the code and then trust that it's implementing that intent, or mostly so. If something looks ambiguous, so that it has a correct interpretation matching what we think we understand to be the apparent intent, and also has one or more other interpretations, we tend to brush that aside because, "Surely the code must have been tested to be doing the right thing, right? Furthermore, if that wrong interpretation is not actually right, the program would misbehave in certain ways (I guess), and in my experience with the program, it does no such thing. And anyway, this particularly code isn't even remotely near the problem I'm looking for ..."
