Yeah, indeed. Even though I see myself as both a socialist and atheist I have absolutely zero problem with religious people or religion in itself. To each their own. I actually admire the commitment and self-sacrifice of monks/nuns of various beliefs. What leaves me dumbfounded however is how so many people have somehow managed to cherry-pick all the worst aspects - egoism, intolerance, greed, no empathy beyond the in-group etc. - but still somehow argue that they're followers of a religion based on compassion for others (and especially the less fortunate?).

Indeed. And while monads provide a certain kind of sequence, it's important to remember that what is being sequenced is just some data dependencies—later effects can depend on the result of earlier effect. The evaluation order can be completely different depending on the type of monad and how the data is actually used. For an extreme example, take the forward & backward state (or "Tardis") monad[1], or for that matter any monad that implements MonadFix (including IO). The fact that the code is written in some order using a monad does not imply that it gets evaluated in that same order.

I've got a pretty varied background ranging from doing data engineering + visualization to building full stack web apps to hardware / IoT / robotics to product management. I learn more towards product strategy but love getting my hands dirty in building tech too.

I've been building my own startup in the micromobility space for the last year and a half.
The goal is data collection. Even if they do absolutely nothing with TikTok, they are still getting a massive amount of data on TikTok users through the purchase.

We have seen this with Skype and LinkedIn. They are acquiring an exisitng user base and the data that goes with it. Microsoft was even on of the early investors in Facebook at a point when Facebook had no proven business plan, but had many users.

It is arguable Microsoft has been trying to transform into a data collection company. Aside from these acquisitions, we see them aggressively pushing their Windows users to accept telemetry, automatic upgrades and a view of MS software as a subscription service.

Some would argue that Skype was a controversial company when Microsoft acquired it. One could argue that MS solved a problem for those who were uncomfortable with the growth of Skype. After the acquisition, Skype was no longer controversial (except perhaps to a small number of technically savvy users who disliked the architectural changes MS made).

Perhaps the same could be said of TikTok. For some, TikTok is a controversial company. If MS acquires it, will TikTok continue to be controversial? Let's wait and see.

When Microsoft aquires a company it does not necessarily mean that whatever the company has been doing will continue. For example, the company behind the T-Mobile Sidekick, Danger, was perhaps the first cloud-syncing smartphone and its founder went on to create Android at Google. Microsoft acquired Danger. It did not then become a MS product. Most people have never even heard of Danger. The OS, which was NetBSD-based, was something MS could not work with. Did we get a next-generation NetBSD-based phone from MS? No, we got s series of successive failures to create a Windows smartphone instead.

Microsoft as a dependable steward of technology created by others is still unproven. Look at Internet Explorer, originally created using the Mosaic code from the U. of Illinois. After so many years of work developing it as their own browser, they now abandon it for Chrome.

Perhaps this is why their acquisition of Github has some people concerned.
Of all the explosive gases, hydrogen is not the worst. It floats, and it's combustion products tend to be less toxic. I really don't think rocketry experiences inform commercial aviation choices.

Has the hydrogen storage associated with spaceflight been responsible for significant explosions. Flight vessels are made as thin walled as possible for a reason. Land bound containers don't have the same weight penalty.
Good question. They are not quite apple to apple comparison however Zapier is more on the integration side and we are on the automation side. Zapier connects with a lot more systems than we do (at least for now). zenphi has a lot more features required around automation. example, parallels, state machine, switch, etc.

zenphi is also a lot more easier to use for G Suite users, because unlike Zapier which has gone wide and is sacrificing good experience to support more platforms, zenphi is focused on G Suite.

Robinson argues that two particular pieces of work are poorly structured logically and insufficiently backed by evidence. He posits a particular source for how these arguments were constructed in the first place (that the authors mistake the assertion of their worldview for evidence of that worldview), and says that this is something the 'Very Smart' can get away with essentially because they allow themselves or are allowed by others to rest on their (earned or unearned) laurels:

'A lot of time in college is spent teaching students that they cannot simply expound their theories of the world without reference to any scholarly literature. But once you have your credentials, and have made your way into an intellectual sinecure, whether in academia, media, or as a rich guru whose opinions are valued because people think the rich are smart, you no longer need to follow the rules.'

I can't argue for the Mead article (it was behind a paywall and was retracted ten days after its publication date: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12115-020-00496-1... ), but I think Robinson demonstrates this pretty well for the PG essay. As he notes:

'I want to draw your attention to what is common between these two pieces of writing, because while most of us will probably wave away an essay like Mead’s, the actual *reasoning* in Graham’s is no better.' (original emphasis)

I don't think Robinson makes a claim that the subjects of the articles are vacuous. In the PG case, he claims that the subjects aren't even specified:

'It’s hard to know what Graham is even talking about most of the time. What ideas does he think are not being debated? What restrictions have been put in place? What are some examples of things that are being affected by the inability to pursue certain lines of thinking? Which norms have eroded and in which institutions and to what degree and what consequences are imposed for Thinking The Forbidden Thoughts? How are we to evaluate whether there has been a loss to intellectual discourse without understanding what has been lost?'
With a one-off precomputation you can do a lot. If you store the distance to exit in each cell you can introduce a slight bias towards the exit. Easy to implement but not very realistic since it assumes things the guests can not know.

More realistic would be observing that the entry and exit are on the outer edge and the maze is simply connected, so a trivial left-hand rule [1] will solve the maze in linear time. On its own pretty boring. You could ad some randomness to make it interesting. But would it still have linear expected solving time if you do that?

There are lots of ways to come up with an answer.

Any tax deduction that can be realized by a non-person entity can be securitized.

"If you are a real estate professional, you can deduct any amount of rental losses, regardless of your income."

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT) pass taxes onto owners.

Occasionally you pay no capital gains on selling property.

Occasionally you pay no tax on income used to pay off debt financed property.

If you are a huge investor you can buy and sell properties. Normally you would pay tax like anyone else at that scale, or you can sell shares in your REIT where a lot of the value is tied up in the fact that the small-time share buyers can realize tax benefits you can't. So you securitized tax benefits.

In some places, like California, the tax bill on your real estate is frozen some 30-40 fucking years ago as long as ownership doesn't change outside of family dynasties. So whereas you'd have to rent it in any other part of the civilized world, here you can just wait until grandma dies and inherit the house. It sits vacant.

Some people create family dynasties by marriage. Although it's a stretch to call that, strictly speaking, a tax dodge.

We don't tax vacant properties, which could encourage their use productively.

Anyway let me put this another way. Would it shock you that I know a lot of people here in San Francisco with 2 or 3 houses owner-occupied by a total of 5 people because (1) they have just lived here forever, (2) their kids have moved out, and (3) the taxes are frozen in the early 90s? And you wonder why there's vacancy. 3 houses for 5 people!

Governments are generally slow to change guidance when evidence is limited or ambiguous. The problem here is that while we have pretty solid evidence for short-distance aerosol transmission in some cases, it will take time to understand how BIG a factor it is.

One thing that is easy to forget as a layperson: when it comes to public health, the government only has a limited ability to influence public behavior. Think of it as having a limited number of cards to play. So if they spend a card convincing people to wear masks indoors at events, then they can't spend it convincing people not to hold dinner parties (a common source of super-spreading events).

Furthermore if the government emphasizes something that turns out to be ineffective, then they have even less ability to convince the public change their behavior in the future. This backlash gets worse if they appear to "change their mind" on something. Witness the backlash from health authorities shifting guidance on the importance of mask use in response to evidence of high pre-symptomatic/asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

A huge part of the challenge for public health workers is figuring out what measures to emphasize and how to communicate it.

I'm not saying the government responses are ideal: they almost never will be, especially with a new disease. But I can at least understand why they're slow to change their guidance.

It is a substantive comment about the presentation of the subject matter.
In the video, Marcel Vos essentially runs a monte-carlo simulation to try and figure out the growth rate of adding more elements to the maze. Though it is true-to-life, it's also very computationally inefficient.

Based on the logic presented in the video, I wrote a program that does a more efficient simulation, so that we could get a better estimate of the growth rate. Note that my simulation estimates a guest always takes the exact same amount of time to make 1 step, and there may be incorrect edge cases in my simulation.

In my simulation, I attempt each size of make 50,000 times and record the average number of steps it took to complete a maze of each size 1-25.

https://play.golang.org/p/FglwpqbsPPr

Results:

<output truncated for ease of viewing>

20 size: 9966 steps (1.397 growth)

21 size: 14057 steps (1.410 growth)

22 size: 19738 steps (1.404 growth)

23 size: 27372 steps (1.387 growth)

24 size: 38660 steps (1.412 growth)

25 size: 54266 steps (1.404 growth)

Marcel estimated a growth rate of 1.424 per added indent, and my larger sample simulation estimates a growth rate of about 1.4, slightly smaller but very much in a similar ballpark.

Back in the day we purchaised an instant in-ear thermometer, which can also be used for forehead temp. measurement too. The selling point was that with restless baby it's easier to measure the temp. Prior to that we used a common in-mouth (and possibly other side out) kind of beep thermometer.

Alright, 15bucks later, I tried it on myself... red alert, fever-fever, when in-ear. Hmmm, roll around forehead -- ambient temp.. The old-fashioned palm-to-forehead -- obviously, no reason for alert. Finally, test with the old in-mouth thermometer- all normal.

Reading the instructions only confirmed the unreliable nature of the instant readings. We kept it anyway for "backup", but for practical use continued with the "slow" in-mouth beep-beep, it also helped that it looked like a froglet.

Apparently, a success of in-ear measurement is a direct view of the eardrum by the sensor, which is not always possible, esp. with babies.
See another answer to the parent. Also, there are ways that large owners can claim vacancies as losses from a tax perspective.

This isn't really tax policy, though- yes, there are tax rules around this, but it's not like the IRS woke up one day and was like-

You know what's unfair? Large property owners feeling the pain from potential lessees not fully appreciating the value they're getting for the price. Merely setting a price is a legitimate business risk, and large owners deserve to be recognized for that risk and for their losses.

That isn't what happened.
Show HN: Problem Pad – Discover Problems That Need Solving
I'm Harbind, creator of Problem Pad, a community to discover, share and discuss problems being faced by creators, businesses or consumers and riff on ideas to try and solve them. (https://www.problempad.com)

It's an open blog-style platform where anyone can submit problems they're facing or have observed and build on ideas in the comments.

My main motivation for creating this was to force myself to find problems being faced by real people in order to come up with creative ideas that actually solve a problem.

As a developer I've been guilty of SISP (solution in search of a problem) where I build out an idea but it was never actually serving a real problem so it would just end up getting scrapped.

With this project I hope to prevent myself and others from falling into that trap by focusing on finding and solving problems that people are actually facing.

My hope is that Problem Pad gives some ideas and inspiration to others who are looking to create.

Please let me know what you think about the project and if you feel you could get value out of it please sign up or subscribe to the newsletter!

Thank you!

My Nexus 4 had wireless charging back in 2012; the Nexus 4 very much being a budget phone.

I am a bit disappointed about how wireless charging was ripped out of Android phones instead of simply being the standard. I thought the iPhone finally adopting it would bring it back to Android phones but it does not seem like the case.
Let's see, what's worse? Being rudely awakened, or being maimed/killed by a driver who literally cannot see?

I suppose in terms of net impact to society, there's no way of deciding without knowing in advance if the hypothetical victim is Mother Theresa or Hitler, so it's kind of a wash.

But for me (and feel free to disagree), I'm going to err on the side of preventing a devastating impact to a small number, over a minor annoyance to many.
I did a lot of tutorials on my YouTube channel on how to start making GUI applications with Godot. The visual scripting is really bad for now, so I would stick with GDScript (a Python like language) or C#. It is really a great piece of software to make something quick for non-technical people. I really recommend anyone to explore and play with it a bit and I'm sure you'll find a use for this amazing engine.
The problem with your line of thinking is you're failing to consider what would have happened if society did not shut down.

Even with a conservative 1.6% death rate, if only a million people in your county contracted COVID, you could still expect 16,000 people to die.

That kind of death rate would tank the economy far worse than a temporary shutdown.

> The crucial point is that the machine does not see a cat or dog, as we do, but a set of numbers.

This seems to miss the point - to follow that pattern, "Humans do not see a cat or a dog, they receive a set of neural impulses".

If a human "knows" those impulses represent a cat, you could also surely say an artificial neural net "knows" those numbers represent a cat - and if you ask "how" a human/NN knows this, I guess the answer is the same -- different levels of visual abstraction (numbers/impulses trigger neurons that recognize edges and shapes, which become eyes become faces become bodies become animals...) trigger different levels of the network that are familiar with those abstractions and turn them into the end result: "That is a cat."
> Moreover, looking at current numbers, covid is not on track to reach 2 million by any degree of imagination.

That is only the case because we shut down so much of the economy & society.
