Well, one could argue that they are just smarter than other people and manage to find market opportunities. Good for them I guess. But technically since it’s mostly a zero-sum game would it be wrong to consider that they use their smarts to deprive other people of value?

Wow, such convenient timing. I just gave up fiddling with the CLI interface on Linux in favour of 1Password X, which otherwise works great. Shoutout to @cohix, I'm sure you had something to do with it!
If I had to guess, I'd say it's actually clearly correlated. The same underlying ego could've driven both the ambition and rewards he got at Google (after lots of rule-bending) and the brazen theft.
If it's any consolation: the more money you have, the more painful a jail sentence, even a short one like this, is, because the opportunity cost is massive.
Another fun note about Yamato's explosion is that it appears to have been responsible for more plane losses than all of the AA fire during the battle. For a battleship with well over 100 AA guns, that's a pretty damning indictment of their quality.
If you want to think about causality here it would be more like:

Group a:
If(has(flammable_liquid))
Try to acquire it

Group b:
If(behaves morally)
Prevent group A from causing suffering

The group consisting of both a and b act like what you describe, but not because that's rational behavior.
If you were selling oil and had the option of either getting $45/barrel for all the oil you sell next month or somewhere in the $0-$100 range, which decision would you take?
> whereas the other two just wanted to actually trade goods.

They wanted to trade excess goods, in other words, unrealized profits, for something usable to them to realize the profits of their labor.

Everyone's intention is to profit, that is the reason you sell to the market.
Trade secrets are subject to certain protections, such as protections against IP theft.

This is the first I'm hearing of lit-html, but it looks great! Is it still an active project? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about lit-html in comparison to newer tools like svelte, solidjs, etc., which, like lit-html, abandon VDOM in favor of "surgical updates" to the DOM.

Also, have tried PureScript? e.g. [1]

We use Dashlane at work, and every day I want to switch to 1Password, which I use in my home life. Dashlane has weird permissions glitches, a really buggy and very non-intuitive desktop app, really terrible web browser extensions that makes me tear out my hair in frustration, and even the mobile app doesn’t feel like it has the features I want, like the ability to add more than one password field (useful for accounts that have PIN codes and such). Even performance-wise, Dashlane’s mobile app feels really sluggish doing things like adding 2FA via QR code’s, which 1Password seems to do instantly.
I think async is for infraestructure writers of a very small selection of libs and servers (web server, db server, etc).

For the rest of us, is parallel and batch that is more useful imho, with at most, the ability to do something in the "background".
Got any papers that go though this in terms of pros/cons and such?

While I agree with you I have to wonder given what a lot of people have in terms of search problems are easily solve-able though the use of tf/idf or bm25 because it improves where they are starting to a level thats often good enough.

making a profit and trading goods are the one and same goal. it's not asymmetrical at all. After all, isn't the point of trading goods to produce excess value after the trade (i.e., profit)?
>But the big difference I see in this case is that many legitimate businesses work with crude oil so not all of those people are gambling / willing to gamble.

But those aren't going to be the losers. Oil producers typically sell their future contracts immediately to lock in a good price. Likewise, oil consumers are typically going to be buying oil futures early, hold them until they expire, and take delivery. In either case they're not going to be affected by the price going negative on the day of expiry.

I should just pre-flag this comment, so feel free.

But Hezbollah use Ammonium Nitrate and could use the other small explosives stored near by.

I think under current rules being actioned if there was intel people were stealing from the factory it would be considered a legitimate target.

The question would be, would the analysis of intel be good enough to know exactly what was stored there and if it is clearly not an appropriate target. And I think their analysis would suck.

If you want a source, the President of the United States said it was an attack. So we either believe official statements or we should learn to think for ourselves.

I loved my macbook (failed to survive a rainstorm, alas) and wrote a ton of code on that supposedly non-pro machine while traveling all over the world. I hope it does reappear as an apple silicon machine.

However I suspect that if they can they’ll start with a “pro” machine that beats Intel specs as their first out of the gate, to demonstrate that it’s not a compromise option.

Yeah, thats an ath9k card (802.11n). 5Ghz was optional in the 802.11n days, so only higher end devices tended to support it.
Hi! Thank you for all the feedback.

The creative destruction lab looks really cool, and I may ask for an introduction, but, I worry that I'm am not really trying to build a business here. I don't see a product or customers in growing forests robotically. It's just a forest. And the robots are to handle the scale, they are doing nothing a low skilled worker couldn't do.

I don't see any real business opportunity outside of selling carbon credits, but there are vastly more profitable ways to use land.

But it's a reliable and feasible solution to climate change nonetheless, and something I could theoretically do with funding. So, hence Kickstarter, a place where businesses don't need to be businesses! :)

Oh, I built a rover named Henry, but I can't quite say that he is a forest planting prototype.

If one person knows the probable outcome and the other one does not, you can certainly frame it as theft.
Are there demonstrations of how much faster or scalable an RP algorithm is for solving an NP-complete problem compared to the best known algorithms?
That's a misconception. The role of the brain our biology is not to direct somatomotor behavior, but visceromotor behavior. That is, the brain regulates the inside of the body. Increased cognitive capacity is largely directed to improving metabolic efficiency, immunity, and other basic bodily functions -- manipulating the external world is a bonus.
Commodities trading like this isn't really zero-sum like, for instance, options trading or equity futures trading. Oil producers who had a giant backlog of oil and nobody to sell it to (and full storage) were paying people to take it off their hands that month. Some enterprising folks were able to find some storage, hold on to the oil until the next expiration date, and were rewarded to playing a role in the market.
Now that you've reached the point of calling everything theft, there is nowhere to go. Congratulations.

It's not the "wholesomeness" that's unique to China, but the commitment to maintain that wholesomeness systematically as an platform identity which is a trained requisite for surviving Chinese censorship. The issue with many western media platform is they start off wholesome like TikTok but inevitably reach Eternal September criticality with unconstrained growth. Western moderation philosophy is typically to let this run, eyeballs at all cost, until they're forced to respond incrementally to outside forces. This alienates the masses who don't care for the fringe drama. The Chinese model is preemptively tame the space because censorship board diktat is arbitrary so best to constrain space. This accommodates the masses and alienates fringe voices. The enforcement tools use to mean unsophisticated mass deletion, but now there are systems of shadowban, limiting promotion of material etc, i.e. tons of steps to curtail "problematic" content before banhammer. The latter is rarely exercised in west, because other strategies seem to work well enough. This isn't to say masses won't get tired of TikTok eventually like every other media platform, but that it's content philosophy does make it stand out from western counterparts which might explain it's popularity. People are hooked TikTok because it doesn't feel like it's heading towards Eternal September, but maybe it's only a matter time.
I don't think the problem is client rendering, especially when you consider latency. Sending views over a network, especially a high-latency, low-reliability one like a cell network, isn't going to beat the performance of doing UI rendering on-device.

Same goes with storage. What's faster: a readdir(3) call that hits an SSD to see how many mp3s you have downloaded, or traversing a morass of cell towers and backbone links in order to iterate over a list you fetch from a distributed data store running in AWS? It's the readdir(3) call.

Giant bundles of unnecessary JS are also bad for performance, but there's a reason why when we had more limited computing resources, we didn't try to make every screen an HTML document that needed a roundtrip to some distant server to do anything. Computing happened on your computer. That's also why native apps on smartphones exist: Apple tried to make everything websites with the first iPhone, it was unbearably slow, and so they pivoted to native apps.

Plain old documents are best as HTML and CSS. Highly-interactive UI isn't.
No, it's about dominance and winning. It isn't about the reward. It's about the game.

Yep, there is no way I am trusting a company with maintaining access to passwords on all my accounts and my clients accounts. Keep Pass uses a well documented XML file format that, if needed, I can manually decrypt and access if for some reason, every copy of KeePass is deleted.

Do you really need me to explain why fraud is wrong? Fraud is wrong because you're betraying someone's trust. It's bad for society because it adds friction to business dealings. When you can't trust your counterparty, you have to expend tons of money doing due diligence. This is true regardless if you're smart or not. Being the smartest person in the world isn't going to help you if you're being deceived (assuming you're not omnipresent).

I found that the notion of token is very English centric. What you really want to do is to convert each sentence to a set of features, be it words, n-grams or prefixes/suffixes, etc. When searching, the way I implemented was to use those features for only narrowing the candidates, and apply a post processing to filter out inexact results.

Yes and it can make certain use cases easier. There are pros and cons to both index-time and query-time stemming, synonyms, etc. I usually use index-time stemming and query-time synonyms.
I report every social media company that only offers SMS 2FA.

They obviously have enough engineers and awareness to do software based OTP, and clearly only want SMS for their phone number social graph and data brokering operation.

Nitpicking here maybe but this does not look like a 3 kiloton blast to me. Neither the size of the core explosion or the apparent shock wave damage correspond to that magnitude from a surface blast. Guessing here but I'd say closer to 2 kilotons at most.

Amazingly, the massive, hollow grain silo right next to the detonation itself remained standing afterwards.
If talking to a typical person I wouldn’t assume they would stick with a method like pass, or a synced keepass file (methods I like just fine personally.) UI affordances and multi-device convenience aren’t just fun, they make good security easier for people who are tired or in a hurry.
I remember back around 1999 reading about a guy who had hand-coded his own http server. It was extremely barebones, no server side processing, just fed out html pages. And it was fast, faster than anything you could pay money for. And secure; since it's functionality was so limited compared to all the other web servers, the attack surface was super small. Fast, safe, reliable.

And of course it was used to power porn sites.
This is the first time I've seen video of a starship test that didn't end in catastrophic explosion, so this is great news!

I'm still worried about the overall design, specifically when it comes to landing. The current procedure is for it to fall into the atmosphere flat on its side, then continue to fall for a long time, and then only when it's near the ground it must reorient 90 degrees to upright and then do a final suicide burn to land. It seems like it has too many chances to fail with no recovery, but I'm no rocket scientist.
I get the intention, and if it wasn't obvious in my previous post; I have dyslexia. Font sizing on computer screens is complex, fonts don't scale perfectly, they have sweet spots where line thickness spills over. When you configure ClearType on Windows it's quite evident where curtain parts of curtain words spill over (a similar fashion to Open Dyslexic actually). Looking at different sized text, it's the line thickness that aids readability rather than the size of the font.

I pretty sure this is the basis of why serif fonts aren't as readable on computer displays, the serifs add more noise rather than help.
Should he go to jail? Idk. But stealing food from a grocery store isn't perfectly analogous to stealing IP. Bringing his knowledge to uber doesn't mean google can't use it. The same is true for digital piracy. Maybe it should be illegal, but it's not exactly the same as stealing an object.
I don’t even mind subscriptions but they’ve still lost me as a customer for bundling the subscription pricing along with an extremely hard push into storing all my most sensitive data “in the cloud”.

Still rocking my 1Password 4 license on Windows and OSX from years ago with no plans on upgrading. When I’m finally forced to, I’ll simply switch to another product.
This is a very unbalanced idea of what happened. The Uber released video’s exposure was clearly adjusted to make it darker than reality. Also the sight of the “jaywalking” was shown clearly to be a place where people regularly crossed the road. There is a sidewalk that leads and ends right at that spot. So it is clearly a urban planning design issue.

This is not to say that Uber is criminally liable but that it isn’t as clear cut as you may want it to be.
> I'm not sure how much space it would take up to store a list of urls that have been submitted to HN

I recently was wondering how much space this would take up myself. After a lot of searching, I found this reddit post, which links to an archive of Hackernews. It contains data from HN from late 2006 until mid 2018 and totals just over 2 gigabytes. These dumps contain all comments, job postings, polls, poll options, and stories.

I did some super quick analysis of the 2018-05 archive (the latest provided by this source). I found that there were 237,646 total items, and only 32,473 of those are stories. That's only ~14%. Assuming the ratio of stories to non-stories has been constant for the entire dataset, that's only 280 megabytes for the entire 2006 to 2018 set.

That data can further be shrunk by removing extraneous information from each story in the data. Mirroring the HN api, it has the following pieces of data for each item: author username, id, date retrieved, score, time posted, title, type, url, and whether its dead, how many descendants it has, and what items are its kids. I didn't attempt to reduce the data to only contain links, but I imagine it would be significantly reduce the size.

Once you've reduced the data down to a list of urls, I imagine it can be reduced even more by removing duplicate links.

Depending on the average size of the urls, it's not unreasonable to think that taking a hash of each of the urls would result in a smaller set of data.

On top of that, there's wonderful text compression, but I don't have the numbers on how much that would reduce the size of data.

Interesting, a bit over my head. Haven't got into Go, into Typescript/Node but there's been some really cool Go project's I've came across. My idea was to just store an array of strings in JSON and generate a query by parsing the search query string, probably separating words out too could work do handle things like "required" or -required for boolean search and filtering out stop words.

I keep changing my mind on things and still super early on my project still, so far I'm thinking CockroachDB for storing more transactional stuff, inventory, accounts, etc and then use MongoDB for chat, social feeds, logging, etc.

I guess if I implemented my own search logic this way, could then give consistent search experience regardless if what they are searching is in the SQL or noSQL database too.

I guess store things in lowercase too, last I looked CockroachDB didn't have PG's CITEXT but for search lowercase makes sense anyways, but maybe you want to search someone's fist name in support probably enter it lowercase while preserving the original casing for display uses.
I think the difference maker is that new social media apps like TikTok are artificially promoting this content from day zero via algorithms as opposed to Facebook and instagram which started by showing that content only from within your own network or through your own intentional curation. Now the second they identify a male you get a discover page full of bikini pictures and women bending over in yoga pants whether you want it or not. And of course this brings all the teenagers to the yard, and older predatory males with deeper pockets... “we’d love to have you model for us!” comments all over the place the second a pretty girl puts her profile to public.
You make a fair point. I think, anyway.
