Putting a cap high enough to allow people to reach financial independence would be something totally different, and I do agree that such measures would probably stem "innovation" or at least focus it on only solving immediate issues.

However putting the cap at a billion would probably have limited effect in this sense, it would probably stop quite a lot of billionaire vanity projects though.

Jira self-hosted is actually often a lot faster than Jira Cloud, if you have decent gear to run it on. You run the database too, so it's a matter of how much cash you want to throw at it. Jira and Postgres on decent storage can be pretty quick, though of course it's still 100x slower than any normal 1990s desktop app.
My daily newspaper costs 2€ at the newsstand, not cents. With a monthly subscription of 5€. Pretty much worth it.

Here in LA, Verizon's 5G Home Wireless plan is $50/month if you already have a Verizon mobile plan that is $30/month or more. It includes a year of Disney+, and the first three months free. That's very competitive in the LA market.

“Withstand” is a funny word. Forests need fire. Fire is destructive to the organs (flora and fauna) but beneficial to the organism (a forest).

I’m thinking of all of the sequoia seeds, now germinated from the fire[1], that will sprout next year into full sunlight that hasn’t touched the forest floor in hundreds of years.

It is sad though that it’s also destructive to the lives of so many people. May everyone find safety who is now in harm’s way.

Creating languages is fun but writing code in a half-assed language created by brilliant but not too experienced engineer with no real support for anything, is not! Then, when this engineer leaves your company, you are left with a mess to clean up...

IMO better strategy would be to reduce config files to absolute minimum and let the code that reads them handle all the complexity. Whatever is your main language, it is better supported than any of this.
It's not that clear. The sense I picked up from reading accounts of people who've met him in scientific contexts is that he would ask nonsensical questions, exhibiting an unwillingness to put in the effort to understand the basics of the fields he sponsored. It doesn't sound very passionate to me.

Undesirable weight gain has been hazardous for a long time, influencing a great many individuals out of which the dominant part are ladies. A larger number of times than not, weight gain is the aftereffect of resting or hindered digestion, and individuals wind up feeling demotivated when they can't shed unfortunate weight considerably after broad endeavors.

The key to shedding pounds normally and productively lies in focusing on the main driver of the weight gain. Individuals consequently expect that weight gain is the consequence of an unfortunate eating regimen or absence of activity, though it is for the most part the aftereffect of a hindered digestion.

If it bothers you, avoid larger companies. Only one of the companies I've ever worked at even had an IT department (it was two people), and even there I had admin permissions on my own MacBook because it was easier for everybody if I just set up my environment myself instead of filing a bunch of helpdesk tickets. Creepy surveillance-ware seems to be more prevalent at giant companies who a) have the money/man-hours to bother with it, and b) have enough distance between devs and management that they feel like it's necessary.

All of which are bad things, but are examples of how money can corrupt people's ethics not how the money corrupted research. Corrupting research in Epstein's case would be if Harvard started publishing studies showing pedophilia was just a lifestyle choice and shouldn't be criminalized.

Redwoods not only survive the fires, they tend to proliferate afterwards. After lesser trees have been cleared out by the fires, redwood seedlings take root.

Redwoods also thrive in low rain areas that are prone to fog because they benefit from the fog in a way that other trees do not.

I once suggested redwoods as an alternate or additional metaphor for giftedness re Stephanie Tolan's "Is it a cheetah?"

https://www.stephanietolan.com/is_it_a_cheetah.htm

My idea didn't get any traction, but I think we need more mental models than the "cheetah" one because that not only implicitly suggests that gifted kids are always fast, it also implicitly suggests that they are dangerous predators. While it is true that intelligence can make you a danger, I would like to see myriad metaphors proliferate and redwoods are at the top of my list as a metaphor I would like to see proliferate.

If you can read Danish you see what information the public have been given here https://www.tet.dk/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/PRESSEMEDDELEL...

Here are the points I think are highlights:

> That FE has on several occasions since the Authority's establishment in 2014 and until the summer of 2020 - in connection with, among other things, the Authority's specific inspections and meetings with the head of FE - has withheld key and crucial information for the Authority and given the Authority incorrect information about the service's collection and disclosure.

> That there is an inappropriate culture of legality in FE's management and parts of the service, where the service's possible unjustified activities or inappropriate circumstances are shelved, including by failing to inform the supervisory authority of matters relevant to its control.

> The submitted material indicates that FE, prior to the establishment of the Authority in 2014, has initiated operational activities in violation of Danish law, including by obtaining and passing on a significant amount of information about Danish citizens.

> That FE has unjustifiably processed information about an employee in the supervision. (TET)
I’ve made well into eight figures by taking almost the opposite approach. As a kid, all I wanted to do was get the fuck out of my unsafe neighborhood and never go back. When I was young I read a lot of biographies of successful people. What I got out of it was that they just worked a lot harder than most, and failed more than most.

Later I observed that there were people dumber than I was with better jobs than I had, and I took that as a positive sign. It meant that just by working hard, I could get those jobs too.

And one thing reading all those biographies told me was that many of these ultra-accomplished people paid a heavy price, usually in their personal lives. I decided I would rather be a happy millionaire with a family than an unhappy billionaire with two or three ex-wives.

I taught myself how to program, took some writing classes in a junior college, and taught myself business and investing by doing dry runs on paper. The kinds of programming I did were fairly challenging, because as a person without a degree I knew I would have to work harder than people who had one. I also stuck to programming that I liked, but that also had a likely long commercial future.

Eventually I was able to parlay all of this into what this website calls a “lifestyle business“, one that has let me stay home and raise children while still earning a great living over the last few decades. I have hit a fair number of singles and doubles, plus a triple or two. At my age now I’m not going to make a billion, But I own a couple of houses outright, have a retirement fund that can help support very high medical bills for medically fragile family members, and I can take care of my handicapped kid until I die.

All of this came from keeping my expectations lower than the author’s. I was thinking not in terms of what I “should“ be able to accomplish, but what I could accomplish if I worked hard and smart.

And as always no word and no link to costs. EBS is not perfectly cheap, so in real life you need tedious studies to understand whether you want or can afford the nice options available. And understanding things in advance is close to impossible. You need to test and wait for enough billing data becoming available.
Somebody know what is the architecture behind those volumes? How do they work?

I'm not arguing the measurement of 1 mile versus 1.5 miles with you. You are nitpicking to confuse the argument and it doesn't change the point in the least.

I have lived in LA long enough to see proposal after proposal made, the taxis protest, and the proposals get canned. You can talk about lack of influence all you want, but they have gotten their way every time they made a statement for the last several decades by threatening to shutdown airport traffic. They are nothing but thugs.
Now is an excellent time to do them. Travel is down and overall inconvenience to guests is minimized (because there are fewer overall guests).

Had they the logistics I was hoping they would do more road construction during March April May when traffic was almost non-existent.
>Your point that fisa courts, which are considered an unnecessary western luxury in the Chinese system and have restricted usage in the USA system somehow make the American system as bad as China?

Yup, restricted as in asking multiple companies to give away almost all of their data. A ton of restraint, limiting yourself to the very minimum of data, such as oh I don't know the entirety of phone call logs for every single user? That makes it functionally as bad as China.

As for PRISM, I think you missed the mark almost entirely. Glenn Greenwald, after contact with Snowden, gave a description that goes something like this :

"Also according to The Guardian's Glenn Greenwald even low-level NSA analysts are allowed to search and listen to the communications of Americans and other people without court approval and supervision. Greenwald said low level Analysts can, via systems like PRISM, "listen to whatever emails they want, whatever telephone calls, browsing histories, Microsoft Word documents.[30] And it's all done with no need to go to a court, with no need to even get supervisor approval on the part of the analyst"

Does that seem like a system that takes and stores photographs of passports? This is literally the #1 Google result for PRISM, by the way.

>No, you are just incorrect here. You can’t really compare a country that doesn’t even subscribe to the ideal of rule of law as being somehow equivalent to one that does and has actual enshrined rights and an independent judiciary to back them up. Yes, the USA could be a lot better, but it doesn’t have much in common with a characteristically illiberal system.

Something said very confidently for someone that doesn't know how FISA courts operate or anything about the PRISM program. I don't think "* low-level NSA analysts are allowed to search and listen to the communications of Americans and other people without court approval and supervision*" reflects "enshrined rights and an independent judiciary to back them up". But calling dragnet spying without a warrant characteristically liberal is an interesting take.

All in all, you seem very willing to defend the US Government without having the most basic knowledge of their abuse. It is impossible to evaluate the Chinese vs US practices in reality if you have a stereotypical view of one and an at best theoretical view of the other.

As for the source, you'll find it quite obvious : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)#E...

Was only a few weeks ago that an article written by GPT-3 managed to make it to the top of HN because the title fit the usual circlejerk. The few people who read the article and pointed this out were criticized.
I agree it should be changed, but to be fair, it is the title of the webpage. Sites often have different HTML titles from the article's "real" title that is shown on the page itself. I'm sure it's for click-baiting, as you indicated.
I was just at Big Basin Headquarters on August 17th for a hike and some trails were closed due to fire then.

It's hard to believe that's all gone but I am really happy the huge ancient trees survived. It's one of my favorite places in the world.

There were two purposes to the funding: to drive research, and to build Epstein's influence. There are two questions: which of those was the primary purpose? And, even if you reach the conclusion that building Epstein's influence was the secondary purpose, does that matter?

For those downvoting aidenn0's comments, I was surprised to find that "untyped" is indeed a common term that includes what many people (myself included) call dynamically typed. See the three top-voted answers to this Stack Overflow question, one of which includes a citation from TaPL, a standard text (emphasis added):

"A type system is a tractable syntactic method ... Terms like 'dynamically typed' are arguably misnomers."

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9154388/does-untyped-als...

I still prefer the term dynamically typed, because there are useful distinctions about value types to be made among such languages, such as those described in striking's link.
Yes they do that, however sometimes I feel like nobody will read your comment (opinion) if you post too late. And the competitive thing to do in that case is to try to be first to comment if possible, and when people who don't read the article are always first you are kind of forced to comment without reading the article too.
A hundred miles north of this fire, at the Armstrong Redwood State Park, there is another lightning-caused wildfire that is burning through an old growth grove.

That fire is burning through the forest floor only, and is significantly less dangerous. The 1400-year-old Armstrong tree, and park buildings, have been protected, while the fire is free to burn through the surrounding undergrowth. Everyone involved seems to suggest that the fire is a net positive for the forest, and an overdue ecological renewal.

While it's definitely sad to see historic buildings destroyed, not to mention hundreds of homes, I look forward to returning to Big Basin over the next few years to witness this renewal first-hand.
COVID is one of the most significant geopolitical crises of the last 100 years. It is naïve to imagine that the US Government is not engaging in top secret COVID research at the highest levels. Instead of burying our heads in the sand and claiming that a life-saving treatment is suspect because a spokesperson can't literally point to a statistic in a publicly available report, we should rejoice that our President is doing cutting-edge research into medical innovation to save the lives of American people.

right but if you’re looking for people who will succeed in college (or the corporate world)

wouldn’t you be looking for people who can achieve based on specified rules and fun to within a system, instead of undisciplined people who can’t do that but may naturally be intellectually curious?

the first makes a terrific employee, the second might not put in hard work for stuffthey don’t find interesting or may leave altogether
> It is sad though that it’s also destructive to the lives of so many people.

Eh, maybe it's just me but I've always felt worse for the animals than the people.
> This just isn't true. I'm quite sure that Epstein supported what he thought was good science. I'm also quite sure that Epstein had opinions about why his treatment of girls was justified. We do not have to accept that people who have violated our basic ideas about humanity should be allowed to do science. The most obvious example is the controversy around what to do with the results of the Nazi / Unit 731 human torture / experiments[1]. Both the idea that Epstein should be allowed to fund research and the idea that he should not are ethical positions. We should not pretend we don't have a choice.

To be crystal clear, i'm not arguing that he shouldn't be ostracized, or that Harvard should have let him donate. I'm just arguing against over-simplifying his identity because we don't want to share anything in common with him (liking science).
>If we provide the ability for people to select partners with some precision about what genes they carry and what might be passed to their offspring,

this is what's potentially wrong with eugenics, in the abstract there is nothing wrong with being able to choose genetic traits, but it will be left to the prejudices and ill-informed opinions of people not to mention fashion. Many traits that do not have anything to do with smarter, healthier and stronger humans would be selected for or selected against skewing the population unnaturally.

Would this have any deleterious effect - not sure. After all if it doesn't directly effect having smarter, healthier, or stronger humans what is the harm in - let's have an example - having red hair and freckles suddenly cut from the gene pool by 3/4ths? Probably no harm, maybe the redheads out there will be upset that there is sort of genetic vote to eliminate them, but they'll get over it or just get old and die so what's the harm?

on edit: to clarify - verged into sarcasm with my ending example as obviously I do think it would be harmful, although I can't really show with any certainty that I am correct, and just as obviously don't know that my scenario would happen - if it did I expect it would not be because most people chose against having redheaded children but rather for having other types of characteristics.
