The Marriott Subject to Lawsuit After Data Breach – Industry Comment
Do you have any links for the cheaper wood from SEA. I am always facinated about how things are cheaper to buy and cheap halfway around the world versus buying locally.
It could be true actually, who knows...
But they don’t think it is theirs. They know it was a mistake and decided to “think” it is theirs. This is just basic loan sharking and being shitty.

The allure of investing in hedge funds is the lack of regulation. As courts decide these matters I wouldn’t surprised if that results in some regulation. It will be interesting to see. The banks tend to have deep lobby connections.

It also might be tough to run as a business because it's quite possible the first time you sign someone else's malware, Apple's going to revoke the notarization of all the apps you've signed (which would be for other paying customers).

Not to mention it undermines the purpose of notarization, so if it became popular enough they'd probably just squash it.

Why are hydrofoils inherently impractical?

The homepage claims superior ride and comfort in bad sea states.

Although hydrofoils are limited to about 400 tons, apparently, there have been several successful naval missile boats used by both sides in the Cold War.

Wings in ground effect is another thing that’s cool.
It does not, probably the new model that came out recently (called T14) will have that, I haven't researched.
So it's not worth the trouble then?
A Reply to Our Customers’ Open Letter on Autodesk Revit
Modern farming isn't suitable for Africa for two reasons. First, the poor people cannot afford expensive modern equipment (but there are a few rich farmers who can and in some cases the governments have stepped up to buy modern equipment to be shared, though only time will tell if this is real efforts or just a publicity stunt) , and many governments lack rule of the law such that you can invest in something better and get a return (if there is another revolution you lose the land and all your effort to make it better are lost).

Note that both of these are political problems at the core. The first will be solved (or not) as people decide living in a city is better leaving more land for the rest to get rich from. Education is a major factor here, and things have improved a lot in many countries. However political problems threaten to take this away.

Political problems are hard. I don't know how to get stable governments and rules so that farmers can trust some investment in better farming is worth making. Nobody else does either, but you will see lots of people proposing something.
What Is Stochastic Rounding?
If you ask me the relative rarity of computer assisted (brute force) proofs is because it is only useful in the unlikely scenario that the number of cases to check is too large for humans but small enough to be computationally tractable.

It's almost the contrapositive of the law of small numbers that any large numbers tend to be very large, placing most of them beyond the reach of ordinary computers.
Why doesn’t Revlon just pay Citibank over time the remaining balance that Citibank “paid” for them to Brigade Capital?
Show HN: VxIntel – Malware Feeds for Research and Product Development
I’m struggling a little on the details. Citi paid 900mm to lenders of which only 175mm went to Brigade.

Things I’d like to know:

-Who got the other amount and Did they return it?

-The 900mm mistake is actually several mistakes not just 1 simple typo? How is that possible.

As for wrapping my head around this. It’s a total debt of 1.5bn. Let’s drop some zeros and see how we think of it. Let’s say 15k credit card with AMEX. I owe 150 in interest but instead I send 1,500. Would they refund the mistake? Let’s go ahead and follow the headline and say I paid 9k of my 15k balance. Would they refund the mistake? (Honest question) This scenario is at the consumer level and zeros matter but I see sloppiness somewhere in Citi and their dealing with money when it’s specifically what they are trusted to do. As for the “loss”...

Let’s consider how this should likely play. The loss here of Citi isn’t materially that they lose the money. It would get rolled into a loan to Revlon at the same rates. Revlon still has to pay it, just Citi has to float the time. The material loss to Citi should be near zero - they could even sell the loan at a slight loss to get it off their plate. Oops we sent 900mm to you... Now we are the loan holder. They end up with money tied up and should Revlon go to bankruptcy then they will realize this loss.

Stats
-Citi has a 100bn market cap.

-They have currently 685bn in loans outstanding to borrowers.

-currently holding 26.4bn for credit losses for pandemic.

https://www.citigroup.com/citi/news/2020/second-quarter-2020...

The only news I really see here is how Citi ops let an unexpected amount get sent without proper authorizations.
There's a 1.8 billion loan outstanding, split between several lenders. Citi accidentally paid half of that loan back to some of the lenders, transferring 900 million. All the lenders but one returned the payment, leaving 176 million in dispute.

So, Citi did make a 900 million dollar blunder, as the headline says, but the subject of the story is that remaining 176 million. It's a misleading headline, not because it's not true, but because it doesn't describe the subject of the article.
True, everything is based on time & location of the camera. I manually curated the cameras and made sure there is around 50% sky in the image. Also if the camera is not pointed perfectly to the sunset/sunrise you will most of the time see it based on the colors. A next step I want to integrate is that it will select the camera based on the amount of orange/red.

Russia Opposition Leader in Intensive Care After ‘Poisoning’
The article seems written to to obscure this, but local income taxes on those earning more than $10 million a year contribute 5% of the city's tax base, not 25%. It's 25% of local income tax collections, but the city collects other forms of tax.

From the numbers on households earning $500k, it looks like local income taxes are around 20% of city tax collections.

I would assume that the city has sources of revenue other than taxes. If so the contribution of the 10M+ households to the city budget would be less than 5%.

Overall I don't think the overall thesis of the article - that NYC will be in crisis if all the ultra rich move away - is supported by the (few) facts contained in it.

Not to mention the absurd premise that 100% of the ultra rich would move out of NYC if the policy proposal being attacked in article comes to pass.
To be fair, wasn’t that right before the first big wave hit?

Ask HN: Overcoming Burnout / Imposter Syndrome
The past 2 years have been pretty rough for me professionally. At my previous job I was asked to lead a massive compliance effort that was doomed to fail, and then moved onto a team that had very little technical work and which was constantly blocked by internal politics. Instead of working on interesting technical projects I became bitter and cynical as it became increasingly clear it would be impossible to accomplish anything.

I found a new role with a small start-up where it seemed like I would be able to build meaningful things and collaborate with people again. I took some time off and tried to come at it with a clear head, but there have already been a few discouraging situations where I feel like my coworkers don't respect me. The work that I have done doesn't seem meaningful, it's kind of "leftovers" that nobody else on the team wants to do. On a few occasions I tried to make proposals but they were heavily criticized.

At this point I feel extremely isolated from the team, and like all I can do is stay out of the way and do what people ask. I'm constantly worried about being told I'm not good enough technically. I've basically given up on trying to have an opinion because it doesn't seem to matter.

Does anyone have advice? I feel like if I could take on one big project and be successful it might make everything click. But I've also read that working harder feeds into burnout and the best solution would be to disengage and take 3-6 months off.

This is plenty of range for day trips throughout the Spanish, US, and British Virgin Islands. You could do multi-day trips if you planned your overnights at the various marinas with power hookups (e.g. Scrub Island, Cooper, etc.)
The incentives are based on the very metrics that the GP commenter alleged are NOT used to value stocks (P/E, revenue, growth).

It’s one thing to argue that the stock market is purely driven by emotion and irrationality. It’s another thing entirely to argue that automation based on P/E, revenue, growth are tantamount to emotion and irrationality.
This looks like a lot of fun, but I'm wary of its safety. Foiling boats (at least the sailboats) have a tendency to come down hard off the foils if not sailed exactly right. That's why you'll see helmets worn by sailors both on big foiling AC72s and F50s as well as a the single-handed Wazsps, Moths, and UFOs.

The deep V profile the Candela's bow looks like it would handle dropping off the foil or hitting a big wave pretty well, and the 100 Hz foil control loop is reassuring, but my experience on little foiling sailboats would keep me cautious on one of these for a while. However, getting a boat to pop out above the waves is such an amazing feeling that I'd take a ride on one of these in a heartbeat (just maybe with a helmet!).

Startup mistakes: Lessons from failed startups

The idea, that everythinw we know just came into existence at some point is as shocking as trying to think of something that has no beginning and no end.

It's only an issue if you think about space and time as separate things. I find it makes (a little) more sense when you understand that time is a function of spacetime. Therefore if you're happy with space not existing prior to the big bang (which people do seem to be OK with) then automatically time didn't exist either, and hence 'before the big bang' ceases to be a problem.

Gravity is traveling at the speed of light.

Space is expanding.

Objects far apart are traveling away from each faster than the speed of light. Or more that the space between them is expanding faster then the speed of light. So those objects will never have any sort of interaction.

Only ways around this if space itself start contracting. (No known way for this to happen).

Or somehow the universe is a big circle, and going far enough brings you back to the starting point. Negative curvature.

We don’t have any good theories on this.
Some highly interesting ones that move the problem up a level.

For Example one theory is our entire universe is inside a black hole created from the remains of a four dimensional hyper star.

The math seems to work. Soo cool. But then where does the hyper star come from?

It’s “turtles all the way down”, is the thought to lot of the best theories.

Or everything is a simulation, again math kind of works. No direct evidence, but neat idea. But who’s hosting the sever that’s running the universe.

Something from nothing problem is a real trouble maker.
Reusable components != reusable styles. Many functionally or semantically different components can resemble and share the same styles. One solution I guess with inline is to have a few levels of nested containers and params? Like <RoomyBox withShadow roundedBorder><LayoutBox><>etc etc</><LayoutBox></RoomyBox> vs <div class="layout roomy-box">. Not sure if this is much better way of reusing common styles than using css classes.

I still really don't understand why people get SO ANGRY about Gatekeeper. It's an excellent idea! Enforcing signed binaries by default is the correction option on a consumer OS. It's saved many, many folks many, many hours of hassle in fixing Aunt Millie's computer at Thanksgiving.

It's not at all clear that Apple will remove the ability to run unsigned binaries. As of now, it's FUD. That's all.

As drawfloat pointed out, Apple doesn't have to explicitly guarantee no susceptibility to malware. The FTC Act considers anything from an Elon Musk tweet about flamethrowers to a casual joke at Apple's Keynote, and weighs whether a reasonable consumer would expect the product to reflect that claim. That doesn't mean implied guarantees are as easily prosecuted. But it does mean that when Tim Cook or Steve Jobs, or another named executive, is on stage and says something along the lines of, "We don't have the same problems as Windows," and a reasonable audience member understands he's referring to malware risk on macOS vs Windows, that's enough to say Apple has made a legal guarantee to the consumer. The law is open-ended like this because promises can look like anything, from outright printing FREE SAME-DAY SHIPPING to printing in an FAQ that most orders arrive within 7 days. If it wasn't cost prohibitive, you could actually file a small claim against, say, Amazon, for a two-day Prime delivery not arriving within two days.

The broader point though, is that Apple has established the belief that macOS is not susceptible to malware. That's why people don't "need" a virus scanner running in the background.

And this belief is widespread enough that it warrants questioning the basis of a use case for this check: Why does macOS need to send my data to a remote server upon initial load of each application to verify it with Apple's whitelist (approve-list? what's the right term these days?), if the operating system's existing protection has to date fulfilled the implied guarantee by CEO, Tim Cook, and former CEO, Steve Jobs, of zero or limited, but otherwise insignificant, exposure risk to malware?

I've never heard of zstd (thanks!), but it seems it's right under my nose.

"Arch Linux added support for zstd as a package compression method in October 2019 with the release of the pacman 5.2 package manager, and in January 2020 switched from xz to zstd for the packages in the official repository. Arch uses zstd -c -T0 --ultra -20 -, the size of all compressed packages combined increased by 0.8% (compared to xz), the decompression speed is 1300% faster, decompression memory increased by 50 MiB when using multiple threads, compression memory increases but scales with the number of threads used."

The Big Bang theory itself doesn't answer the question of where the Universe came from, but I don't think it's stilly to ask what happened 'before' the Big Bang, or when the size of the Universe was near or below the Planck Scale. Relativity by itself predicts a singularity at a finite time in the past, at the beginning of the Big Bang. We know from Quantum Mechanics that Relativity is not complete though so the origin of the Universe and the nature of time through that process is still up in the air.

Because the actual experts don't have experience in how to properly react to government tenders or the political connections to have tenders written so that only a specific company or two match it, and because public sector HR does not have any way of actually evaluating experts (as the historical knowledge of senior employees all got removed).

My first job out of college was working at a large financial services company in one of their departments that, among other things, handles corporate actions on behalf of its customers. Much of that corporate actions processing is done as part of a nightly batch cycle that runs on an IBM mainframe. The system itself was first deployed and continuously maintained for longer than I've been alive.

Long before I joined the company, that department tried to rewrite the system to be "modern", porting everything over to Java and having it run across a couple of servers. This was in the late 00's if I remember correctly. Apparently this rewritten system couldn't handle the volume of data that the mainframe can easily process during its batch cycle. However, were they to rewrite the system now (having the tools available to better facilitate real-time processing along with flexible resource scalability) I bet that a new system would be able to keep up with the demand and be just as expensive, if not a little more cost effective to run.

Does anyone else have any experience updating and rewriting old mainframe batch processes to newer systems and architectures?
> Why even wear a surgical mask?

To prevent others from getting covid from _you_ [0]

N95 masks are more expensive, take more effort (and training?) to use correctly and have limited reusability IIRC.

As a society, it's more efficient if everyone wears surgical masks, because that means every infected person is also wearing one, even those that don't know (yet) that they are covid positive. So in my opinion, it's a good thing if countries force everyone to wear them.

Good surgical masks are much nicer to breath in then fabric ones.

Maybe it's like that Hawaii mistake, the "pay installments" button was right next to the "repay full loan" button.

Also, that it now happened to 900M means it has probably happened before to smaller loans before, I bet there's some sort of law about that.
