I totally agree this is also a valid option, and one I’d personally love to explore more. To me, though, that’s still essentially near the extreme fully-remote, and I could understand if it’s not for everyone. I definitely hope and do think it will become more common in the future though, too.

EDIT: GitHub actually balances this beautifully, imo. They have offices in SF, NY, Austin, and Tokyo for those who want to go into an office every day or semi-regularly, though they also do a yearly company-wide retreat and quarterly team gatherings if you want to work fully remote.
The real issue is that the amount of stuff we can talk about is getting more and more limited. This also increases the chances of talking unknowingly/mistakenly about a touchy subject.
I’ve seen lots of “questionable” research, so much, that I rarely read papers published by other researchers because chances are the data is junk, and I’m in academic biomedical research!!
I have QC35s too. Maybe a newer rev?
Nice! Would it be possible to download all the pdfs in one go?
Early 30s here and I hope WFH continues till the day I die. I hated going into work every day. Sure, it's nice every once in awhile but what a complete waste of resources it happened to be. Nothing lost from working at home. I save a lot more now.
Documenting mathematics rigorously is actually hard. For example see the Formal Abstracts (https://formalabstracts.github.io) project by Thomas Hales. Hales' other writings on the subject may be informative too: https://jiggerwit.wordpress.com/2019/06/20/an-argument-for-c...
> I think the GP doesn't know the conspiracy theories, but expects them to be invented in attempts to rationalize the inclusion of unused assets.

It takes less effort to google 'mario 64 conspiracy'[0] than it did to create the fan-fic you came up with while assuming that the GP was rationalizing things.

Why not assume the best of people?

Note that your filter might be breaking an important security feature:

If you get an incoming email “from” yourself and it is not marked as spam, it will be put into your sent label.

At least one person claims to have been incorrectly fired because of this. Their employer found incriminating emails in the person’s sent box, and considered it a closed case.
"If you want to replace google, send an email to this gmail address."

No, I think George is completely serious.
I hope this works out. I'm a big believer that companies eventually take the shape of their business models, and if you're free but serve ads, you're an ads company, not a search company. So it'll be interesting to see how a company without the ads tension ends up evolving.

That said, search is a really hard problem to solve (even if you can take shortcuts like using Bing's API).
In the case of the attack in question - how would they have initiated a command to erase the ElasticSearch cluster from the Internet?

Any NAT would be stateful and the communication would have had to be initiated from the cluster.

Not having a public IP address is not about “obscuring” the IP address. It’s not like so said why didn’t they have ES listening on a non standard port.
Writing ForYour Life
Yeah, I appreciate HN not having a notification system for replies unlike Reddit, but even so there's some pressure to reply quickly more than deeply. I'd be very interested in seeing a discussion forum that's intentionally much slower, e.g., having replies only show up at the next hour or half-hour.

One thing you'd want to be careful about is letting people say "This is obviously wrong" and having something to that effect show up quickly, so you don't waste a bunch of people's time replying with the same thing.
Please describe in detail how you will distribute crawl, index, and ranking as basic infrastructure.
>Nothing in life is inevitable.

Once you're over 40, life becomes lived inside the margins of things that are inevitable, such as physical decline and, of course, ultimately death. The plays out by the shortened timeline and more painfully by the disappearance of parents, loved ones, and colleagues. There is a lot of important things in life that are indeed inevitable.
The deck of cards could be inserted by:

1. removing all the cards from the box

2. unfolding the box

3. rolling the box into a tube so it will fit into the bottle

4. unrolling and refolding the box in the bottle

5. roll each card, insert in bottle, unroll

6. put the cards back in the box

Of course, doing all this would be very tedious, and would be easier if one used some specialized tools, but it's doable.
I think your numbers are about right even allowing for the pseudonyms of husband and wife teams (Lewis Pladgett) and women individually (James Tiptree Jr) but it just reflects what has been a rather male-dominated genre. You'd see the flip case I'm sure if we were talking romance novels.
The problem is that in the past (up through about 1980) paleontology/biology was kind of ... hokum/voodoo.

There is a reason why the Tree of Life had to undergo a lot of rearrangement once we could sequence DNA.

However, now that we have DNA sequencing, the foundations of biology/paleontology on on much more solid ground. If you want to attack them, you have a much higher bar to clear nowadays.
This strikes me as extremely simplistic. So you want to "flush out" about 50% of the American electorate? Don't you think there are some nuances there? You realize that there are non-coastal corporation that are the exact opposite and they believe as strongly as you that people like you must be "flushed out" ?

America is in trouble...
The origin story of the idea:

"As a child I had a spinal condition and underwent surgery to straighten my back. Part of the treatment was in effect being grafted on a frame, similar to the way we graft trees. So I appreciated how forms can be shaped - and how long the process can take.

"Around about the same time, my mum had a bonsai tree. The bonsai was left to grow in its own direction and eventually formed itself into the shape of a throne. I was intrigued by this, the thought of a chair being created directly from nature."
This is a pretty sad article. I wonder if they've ever considered g-suits to mitigate the pressure on the body. I'm not sure if it'd be effective but fighter pilots have a pretty similar set of extremes that they work in.
I'm a buffoon! I meant the QC30's - the in-ear ones. Sorry! It appears mk 2 of QC35 has physical ANC buttons, but the originals do not.
Sounds like a lovely PhD dissertation!
A solid understanding of math. Not so much the specifics of certain subjects, but the way of thinking.
Left pad specifically is part of the standard library now: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Yes, there are still shortcomings, but to me, the biggest shortcoming is too much legacy crap that doesn’t use the standard library. For example, Express predates the standard request, response, and URL classes, so it invents its own. Plus Node doesn’t even fetch FFS. If everyone actually wrote things in modern JS, the situation would be better.
This idea has been floating around for decades (wouldn't surprise me some researchers decided to test it), but its exact claims are only around ease of counting and arithmetic (the very basic levels), not mathematics as a whole.

Ease of counting numerals doesn't necessarily translate to overall mathematical ability. French and Russian have fairly complicated numerals, but many of the world's best mathematicians also happen to be French and Russian speaking... and of course, English speaking.

At the higher levels of mathematics, abstract thinking becomes more important than arithmetic. It's not obvious to me that facility at arithmetic is necessarily advantageous then. In fact, I wonder if highly inflected languages (Latin-derived) or those with complex grammars (Hungarian, Slavic) train the brain to work with symbols more efficiently.
I will use Crystal for the exact same purpose and reasoning. I don't like Go :).
And Java Webstart jars had to be signed correctly or else the browser would reject the application. As I recall META-INF also had to have the correct security meta data or else the browser would complain.

If you look at this one. You'll notice there's not enough vertical room in the bottle to for both the box and a card to slide in from the top. The bottle would need to be twice as tall.

My experience with wfh: I work in one of the audit companies' advisory arms (and I have only been in the workforce for around a year now), and for me WFH was a dream benefit that was only available to those in tech.

At first (i.e., around the first 2-3 weeks), I loved WFH - because I was very motivated to finish my work ASAP and spend time playing the guitar, or writing, or doing whatever the hell I wanted to do. And because the country wasn't in lockdown, I met friends for lunch/dinner every other day, so I was having fun.

The next 2-3 weeks, I began to hate it, because I hated not meeting people so much (because by this time the country had gone into lockdown), and I felt like shit tbh.

After that, I made it a rule to video call one of my friends/colleagues every day, which improved my life tremendously. Should have thought of this earlier, smh.

Around the same time, I fell into a bad habit. I started to think that I'm not really going anywhere, so why work so much? As a result, my work started to drag on after office hours, and I started to feel more tired. I had to actively tell myself that my work day ended at such-and-such a time, so that I wouldn't drag my my work to after office hours.

Once this entire period of around 2 months passed, I realised that I prefer WFH, and started to dread the day we'd be called back in to work, because of the following reasons:
1. I save an hour of travel time each day, so instead of waking up at 7 to be able to reach office at 9, I now wake up at 845.
2. I'm quite motivated to finish work early and then do whatever I want.
3. Because I'm so new to work, I don't really need to go around meeting people - hence there is no reason for me to be anywhere near office.
I think there is a big shift toward “self-improvement” tech. The first big wave has been nootropics, although the hype around that stuff has subsided it seems. There are researchers still actively looking at ways to improve standard bearers such as modafinil.

A second push toward wearable devices is probably coming. I think Snapchat’s glasses probably cracked some of the stigma around that, at least for younger millennials. We won’t see the same type of stigma that Google Glass had, especially once Apple gets in the game. This will necessitate new conversations around privacy in the public space, although this time around the conversation will be led by people who might not necessarily have grown up expecting that luxury anyway.

Another big movement is Neuralink and similar physical brain enhancement. The degree to which these could change an individual’s lived experience is probably hard to imagine. I somewhat expect something like having a Dropbox-memory with Wikipedia-levels of factual knowledge. The ability to synthesize and digest this amount of data will become the new ground on which individuals differentiate themselves. Knowledge and social management applications will become essential, ie things similar to Roam or CRM-style apps for your social life.

I am curious about how the near future will impact pop culture. Maybe our tech will be able to sense what music we want to listen to in the moment? Maybe algorithms will start proactively incorporating the preferences of groups of people, instead of individuals, to make suggestions? Will music and film become shorter to fit into tinier and tinier slices of attention?

For what it’s worth, futurism is one of my passions. I predicted services like Stadia 6 years ago. I’m still a little salty about how badly it has turned out...

The same way you decentralize anything else.

You can do crawling by using an extension that allows you to create a new tab, crawl data on your current url and send it up to the mothership.

You can actually do even better because you don't get SEO-hacks like disabling certain javascript when Google is on the page to improve speed.
Thanks for the links. I was not aware of Thomas Hale's research even though I searched extensively to try to find related work.

His descriptions of what he wants to attain align with what I would like, a formalized way to describe what is known in mathematics.

He also describes how this can be used for machine learning, and area that I am also pursuing, but my results are still in an exploratory state.

Either way, I am really glad others are looking into this area too. I think it is something that will be very beneficial to the math community.
I'm a young dude and I agree with this.

A couple of other things though: I hate remote communication because it's so different to being in-person and I feel like WFH stifles your ability to communicate what you're working on with people outside of your team.
Even worse, on my QC35 II's, the hardware button defaulted to Google Assistant on Android, and I had to use the app anyway to set it to modify ANC on press.
Thanks for the support! Yes, that is one of the goals, to make it really easy to find what is known in mathematics and contribute to that knowledge base. I have https://mathlore.org which is a demonstration of how such as system could work.
GDPR allows collection of data on the basis of very specific reasons: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/

Option a), consent, is further regulated later. The key aspect is https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-43/ "Consent is presumed not to be freely given if (...) the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance". Further requirements in https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-32/

Each option only lets them process the data to the extent necessary, so if they can argue that they need the data to provide a service (option b), they can only use it for that, not for e.g. resale. I think a court also clarified that "but we need it to show personalized ads" doesn't count.

I don't think anyone tried to argue that ads or other common ways to monetize data are in the public interest, and such an attempt would likely not stand.

Option f (legitimate interest) also seems to be popular, but I think that again, a court clarified that invasive tracking for ads doesn't meet the balance.

The problems with GDPR are really more on the enforcement side: The DPAs are overwhelmed and in some cases (Ireland) they seem to be rather keen on not doing their job. Also, it's hard to enforce GDPR against companies that are outside the EU.

The wooden sign is even more astonishing. Assuming that your guess is correct (sliced, inserted, glued), then the engraving on the front would need to take the kerf of the saw cut into account, or else it would show.

Wait, now that I think about it, I bet it was split rather than sawed. The photo on the site is fairly lo-res, but it does look like straight-grained wood that would split straight, and would seamlessly glue back up. And it would reduce the amount of surface work needed afterward. Each piece would key into the next.

It would be far more fair to say that we have no problem with infinite funding for non-discretionary entitlement spending, since that's most of that the Federal Government spends money on. Military spending in the US is not wildly outside of the norm for the developed world as a percentage of GDP, and money spent to "bail out banks" is a rounding error in terms of spending, and has historically turned a profit for the Federal Government. One of the largest sources of research funding in the US is actually the Department of Defense.

As for why research doesn't get more funding, sadly there is a faction in the US government that is opposed to universities and to government spending in general, and views research funding as easy to cut without provoking public outcry among their core voting demographics. This is the same reason that the Department of Defense is now such a large part of research funding, that same voting demographic is far more vocally opposed to reducing military spending.

Once the box is in the bottle, waiting for cards, then they don't need to stack. The card will unfurl as it clears the neck, and enters the box.

I'm sure the 52nd card is harder than the 1st, but there's wiggle room there.

EDIT: Your photo shows a cellophane-wrapped box. I got nothing for that part!
I don't think people are stupider in the sense of less knowledge (or less g, for sure), but there is a phenomenon where people are expected to know more and know it quickly. Before the internet, if you were a working scientist and you wanted to know about something that wasn't in your field, it was a fairly involved process to figure it out, not 10 seconds reading Wikipedia. Analogously, if you weren't a scientist at all, you'd have to ask a scientist, you couldn't spend 10 seconds reading and potentially misreading Wikipedia, you'd just say "I don't know."

I think this has consequences in other fields besides science too. The general public now has the ability to have well-formed opinions about government policy and its effects, for instance. That may in practice be making people more confident in their ill-formed opinions, where they would have previously deferred to experts. (Of course, it also is a great potential benefit if we use it right, because those experts will generally have their own biases and agendas.)

You just traded SEO as we know it for a scheme in which any rando can just upload the supposed contents of any URL.
Using Bing's API isn't really going to help with some of the problems.

One thing that would be really helpful, stop counting the words appearing on links on the sidebar or other non-content part of the page as important for my search. It's amazing how many searches go astray because someone has some words on a sidebar that don't have anything to do with the content of the page. You would think with all this ML someone would teach a search algorithm to ignore it.
idk. Russia had a lot of czars, some of them (like Ivan the Terrible) were probably worse then even Stalin, and some of them might even have been better then Gorbachev.

That said, the revolutionary spirit under Czar Nicolas II were completely rational, and understandable. The use of violence was needed because the ruling class was—unlike at the end of the Soviet Union—unwilling to make the revolution happen peacefully.

Nobody can tell the future. The fact that awful people might use the turmoil to seize power is not something that people are thinking about when they are trying to overthrow their current oppressors.

If the default install does this, then I'd blame the package /distro maintainers. It should definitely at least only listen on localhost by default, with stern warnings what is going to happen if you change that without setting up proper security.
How would somebody write their own search engine?

I'm imagining some access patterns like this:

If I know what site I want to get an answer from (youtube), i can just download lots of text from youtube and search those text files for the string im looking for, making a map of files that match that string (or youtube could expose an API for me to use of course)

if i dont know what site i want an answer from, well this becomes harder, and presumably if i dont have the space to store a text only copy of the internet for me to grep through, then a 3rd party web copy (such as wikipedia) is probably a good starting point???
> sorry if this comes off as confrontational

It didn't to me. I use ublock and take it a step further to use other search engines. Personally, I only notice how ad filled Google search is when I use someone else's computer.
Sure, but they deserve to be able to make the choice too. So if you move to a world where selling your data for services isn't available, then you're forcing them to pay and since we've determined they can't pay, all you're doing is removing the choice from them and forcing them in to the no-service option.

And I know how it is because I was once affected by this. All these "but the poor people" folks disappear when the poor actually ask for help. It's like this:

Poor people: Hey, can we get the right to work for a living in a dignified way and use the same services as everyone else?

The Privileged Protectors: Okay, how about I make it so you can't work for more than 20 hrs and umm... I'll throw in some privacy

Poor people:...
