Looking at the nine traits, one of these is not like the others:

> Egoism. The excessive concern with one's own pleasure or advantage at the expense of community well-being.

> Machiavellianism. Manipulativeness, callous affect and strategic-calculating orientation.

> Moral Disengagement. A generalized cognitive orientation to the world that differentiates individuals' thinking in a way that powerfully affects unethical behavior.

> Narcissism. An all-consuming motive for ego reinforcement.

> Psychological Entitlement. A stable and pervasive sense that one deserves more and is entitled to more than others.

> Psychopathy. Deficits in affect, callousness, self-control and impulsivity.

> Sadism. Intentionally inflicting physical, sexual or psychological pain or suffering on others in order to assert power and dominance or for pleasure and enjoyment.

> Self-Interest. The pursuit of gains in socially valued domains, including material goods, social status, recognition, academic or occupational achievement and happiness.

> Spitefulness. A preference that would harm another but that would also entail harm to oneself. This harm could be social, financial, physical or an inconvenience.

Eight seem to involve doing things at the expense of others, or feeling (inherently) superior to others, but not 'self-interest'. Wonder why that one was included.

indeed, I was thinking more nature vs nurture - are these traits baked into people when they are born? do events shape them etc. an age old question I suppose, though a measure perhaps makes it easier to trace things through someones life.

Edit: I suppose we could measure the value of D over generations and see if it's heritable.
Are you generating wealth though? For yourself and investors? MASSIVE returns.
The poor can be helped by transferring wealth from those that have it to those that need it rather than taking it from future generations’ environment.

Ok, I found the reference for this story [1]! It turns out I messed up some details, but the core of the story is true. (It was not a company but Alex Szalay [2] at JHU, and it was not an indexing but a layout issue.)

Jim asked about our "20 queries," his incisive way of learning about an application, as a deceptively simple way to jump-start a dialogue between him (a database expert) and me (an astronomer or any scientist). Jim said, "Give me your 20 most important questions you would like to ask of your data system and I will design the system for you. " It was amazing to watch how well this simple heuristic approach, combined with Jim's imagination, worked to produce quick results.

Jim then came to Baltimore to look over our computer room and within 30 seconds declared, with a grin, we had the wrong database layout. My colleagues and I were stunned. Jim explained later that he listened to the sounds the machines were making as they operated; the disks rattled too much, telling him there was too much random disk access. We began mapping SDSS database hardware requirements, projecting that in order to achieve acceptable performance with a 1TB data set we would need a GB/sec sequential read speed from the disks, translating to about 20 servers at the time. Jim was a firm believer in using "bricks," or the cheapest, simplest building blocks money could buy. We started experimenting with low-level disk IO on our inexpensive Dell servers, and our disks were soon much quieter and performing more efficiently.

I think that's just how progress gets made quickly. As Larry Page would say, "have a healthy disrespect for the impossible."
Of course Epic wants to keep more of their profit to themselves. Especially if they have to give a way tens of millions not just a few thousands. I think it is fair for Apple to cap their charges. If they need to take a percentage, they should take a percentage of profit rather than sales to be honest. Unity model is a good example in my opinion.
In fairness, that part of the article seems like it might be an invention of the author, who probably is not all that qualified to develop a psychological inventory. I'd expect an instrument based on the described paper to be considerably more extensive, and presumably able to control for distinctions like these.

That said, I realize this is psych research and, in light of the ongoing replication crisis, may deserve somewhat less benefit of the doubt than I am giving it in this comment.

Main downside I see of Apple allowing users to install alternate app stores is that it could probably rescue them from the now tiny and still shrinking global market share they have.

Surely better to just let them finish suiciding themselves?

Personally I'll be sad to see them go, but judging by the number of comments that are encouraging them to continue on their current path (now single digit market share) I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them are really thinking like this.
This ends up unreasonably expensive unless subsidised by loss-making VCs.
It would most certainly not. What does a fruit stall in Minnesota care about the NYSE’s opening hours?
Office management companies are worried. In the UK they, as well as commuting companies like Daily Mail Group, and overpriced sandwich shops like Pret, have realised their entire company is reliant on millions of sheep trudging 2 hours a day to an office block with no space to fight for a desk to have a day’s worth of meetings on skype.

A large anti WFH campaign run by the people behind brexit and linked to trumps campaign is set to start next month in the UK (the feelers you’re judge public mood have already gone out)
Nice but it would have been better to have the twist point out the value of peer programming and mentorship. If "the code writing itself" was in fact coming from Cody at the elbow of the narrator.
Quaternions have a couple of advantages over matricies for pure rotations:

1. They're smaller - 4 floats - whereas you've got a minimum of 9 floats for a 3x3 rotation matrix, or up to 16 floats (4x the size!) in some gamedev codebases with a single, general purpouse, 4x4 SSE optimized matrix.

2. They won't accumulate a skew or scale from floating point errors. At worst, you trivially renormalize a quaternion if it drifts too far out of scale, with only a few edge cases to worry about (0-length vectors, or nan/inf/denormal components.) While a matrix can be unskewed and unscaled with a few cross products and normalizations, there's more math and more edge cases to worry about.

You might transform those quaternions into temporary matricies to compose them with scale/translation/projection transformations for rendering, but you might not want to store your rotations as matricies.
Just because a something is stupid it doesn’t mean every solution to the problem isn’t equally stupid.

For example I’ve not even gotten into the financial cost of expecting everyone to change their documentation, advertisements, etc to reflect an earlier hour.

Sometimes the “worse is better” and in this case the “stupid” solution is actually the better one.
It sounds like Netflix might not be doing the horrible thing YouTube and Twitter do where they treat low-resolution (e.g. standard definition) content as being less deserving of bitrate with only higher resolutions allowed to climb the bitrate ladder? For those sites I have to upscale SD content to HD resolutions when uploading just for it to be allowed a less paltry bitrate.

I fear people who grow up in the age of streaming might not realise that DVDs had good video quality because streaming services seem to hate SD content.

> As a side note, we do have some additional points, not shown in the plots, that are used in resolution limited scenarios — such as a streaming session limited to 720p or 1080p highest encoding resolution. Such points lie under (or to the right of) the convex hull main ladder curve but allow quality to ramp up in resolution limited scenarios.
To get a track the trajectory has to be in the CCD plane? Doesn’t that mean abysmal efficiency?
I did think we had a few more years :/ thanks for letting me know though.
I recently noticed that there're a lot of free github icons repositories, check this out for example https://github.com/vkarampinis/awesome-icons
Maybe that is the point? We are all brainwashed to think we need to secure ourselves financially. Most of us (on HN at least) could probably do barely any work now, and not die. But you'd have to sacrifice a lot of stuff we think we need. Me included, it's a hard trap to escape when everyone is in it.
It's an efficient market. It's efficient at collecting money from customers who little or no choice, and at not providing those customers with a service - because providing a service costs money, which takes a cut out of profits.

This is what markets do. They amplify political and financial inequality.

Anyone who thinks that competition will somehow magically fix this isn't paying attention to how markets actually work.

Why wtf medium.com???
If we're going to assume that inertia is hard to fight, and that everyone is going to work 9-5 (not even a majority of people work these hours in the US): Set it up so that winter equinox has sunset at 7pm. This has the sun coming up at ~9am during winter at the 40th parallel. During the longest days of summer, daylight would be from about 6am to 10pm.

That timing is standard time + 1 all year round.

Nice! inspirational. What do you prefer using for micro startups for client side / serverside? I see you mention vue and nuxtjs for client side on other articles, what hosting providers do you recommend to keep costs low?
Why? Those are the places people do normal business. Extremely efficiently.

If the environment variable still works, it could be set by a distribution (esp scientific ones) or in your .bashrc: eg. `export VAR=5`.

If that fails, as OP implies, you can still override the function by creating a tiny library with it always returning true. On GNU/Linux systems, you do that using LD_PRELOAD. Perhaps someone's already done that so you just need to download, compile and set it.

Sorry for the lack of specifics, but I do not deal with these libraries, yet I was still hoping to point you in the right direction.
I'm not sure if I'm correctly parsing what you wrote, but at least where I live, COVID-19 managed in couple of days to revert years of effort to make the city car-sparse. The unfortunate truth is that public transport is the last thing you want to use in the middle of a pandemic.
It ends up like an Uber, but cheaper since you have no driver and are sharing the vehicle with other passengers.
> population and land-use patterns... are two of the most important variables in any TDM [Travel Demand Model]

All models are based on assumptions. Revisiting those assumptions should be a continuous process that forms a tight feedback loop, especially given the long timelines and large capital costs involved with civil infrastructure projects.

If population and land-use assumptions are the key factors then the important questions should be how these assumptions will be validated and how often. These questions seem to be missing from the article.

> If Stripe can claim Wells Fargo doesn't want to process porn payments, and that's legal, how can an American court rule for Epic?

Because Stripe, and Wells Fargo have competition.

Don't like Stripe? use Square.

Don't like Square? use one of the other dozens of competitors.

Don't like Wells Fargo? Use Bank of America, or one of the thousands of other banks and credit unions in the country.

Apple has no competition, it is in fact a monopoly, and this is monopoly abuse.
No we don’t. We change timezone, not the time within that timezone.

The former is government mandated and our clocks are changed. The latter is governed by ourselves and we have to change all schedules to reflect a new time 7am (etc) instead of 8am while the clocks remain the same.

The devil is in the detail.
Plus only 8 christmas but with 2 kids you'd have 16 birthdays, plus maybe 100 or so friends birhdays, 2 first days at school, etc. etc. lots of moments.
If Intel is using floating point math shortcuts you can replicate it with -Ofast when using gcc.

It goes without saying that you should use -O3 (or -O2 for some rare cases) otherwise. I am mentioning it just in case because 2.5x slower sounds so exotic to me that the first intuition is that you're omitting important optimization flags when using GCC. GCC was faster than Intel on everything I tried in the past.
You mean a lucky generation. They ll find better things to do than addicting people to scroll through pictures
The article author's suggestion to use 4x4 matrices suffers from all these same problems. Using a pair of quaternions would have all the same advantages.

As for me, I don't like that Gab and Voat are blocked from every iOS device in existence.

If I want to read that content, I should have the right to.

and don't even start with that huR dUr corporations don't have to have free speech legal argument.

Free speech is an idea, that companies violate to push their opinions onto society.

You think George Washington and Thomas Jefferson thought the idea of censoring speech by companies would ever happen beyond the right of the corporation to associate with who it pleases?

Absolutely not, they could not and didn't imagine society becoming so dominated by just a few companies and nobody doing a damn thing to stop it.

My suggestion is to keep a notebook with you at all times, and keep track of the following 3 things:

# 1. Every time you need to do something, but you don't don't know how to do it.

Chances are you aren't the only one who doesn't know how to do it.

So once you learn how to do it, write a tutorial and then publish it on the web.
The advantage of writing something soon after you learnt it yourself, is you remember which bits were tricky.
(If you leave it too long, everything becomes obvious in hindsight and so you think what you write is obvious and thus maybe not worth explaining, writing or sharing.)

Get some feedback and then sell a premium version of it.

# 2. Every time you want to do something but you don't want to do it.

Chances are that you aren't the only one who doesn't want to do it, either.

It is said, the only things people either pay for are fun, knowledge, time, or safety.

So if you have an engineering mindset, you might be inclined to figure out how to automate or outsource this task. Once you have streamlined this for yourself, consider offering this same service to others.

#3. Every time a product or service that you already have, frustrates you.

Chances are that you aren't the only one with the same frustration.

What is the smallest modification you could make to the existing product that would eliminate this frustration.

Cloning / reverse-engineering a product for MVP is almost always faster than building a new product out of thin air.
So then build this product and then share it on the web. Get some feedback and if positive, sell an improved version of it.
Thanks !!! That's what i meant :-)

PS Michael Munger not Munfer
I would and do pay a premium for all of those things too, but that doesn’t mean I’m ok with not being able to buy books directly in the Kindle app, or genuine (sandboxed) terminal emulators not being allowed on iOS for arbitrary reasons. Several of Apple’s policies around the App Store are user hostile and prevent innovation, and have nothing to do with security or privacy.

I mean I certainly aren’t smart enough to complete a bounty half as big a deal as this, and I could certainly use a month’s rent in cash.

My point was about the wider security economy. It feels like Slack are low balling for work which they have a moral duty (er, moral in the sense that spectres haunt Europe) to pay something more like a living / minimum wage for hackers.
A complete tangent, but when I read "you might already eat most the car" I mentally put a full stop here and realized that this is true to an extent: if you live close to a place with large traffic, you're quite literally eating (or at least breathing in) cars, in the form of tire and brake dust. So that's another, non-monetary, cost of living you have to pay.
Singapore school kids switched effortlessly between google meets and Zoom. Give kids some credit, they are naturally curious and adapt to changes quite effortlessly. Same with masks in school.
Routines.

Routines speed up your life. Time will blow by quicker if you are covered in routines. What is worse, your days will become blurred - each day - too similar to the next - for you brain to hold on to distinct memories. Example: if you drive to work the same way each day - you will often not even remember the drive by 10am. That hour will be gone forever. However, if you were to take BART instead for the first time, that one particular day will last a lifetime. Try moving. Move to a different town, force yourself to get new friends, take three saxophone lessons. Your days will last.

alternative: Alarm beeps, Wake up, drive your kid to school the same way, drive your commute the same way, work with the same people, tell the same jokes, work on similar problems all day, watch netflix all weekend. You will wake up at 45 when someone in your family passes.

Change things up.
Walter Jon Williams, author of the cyberpunk classic Hardwired, also wrote two books in a setting that fuses cyberpunk and fantasy: Metropolitan and City on Fire.

An interesting note on The Economist is that their digital and print verions are priced the same, despite the higher cost of printing and delivering the printed version. The ads in the print version is simply worth more compared to the digital version.

I’m still not convinced that online ad tech adds nearly as much value as the tracking industry wants us to think. Sure, it’s useful to know if you reader can afford the product wish to promote, but The Economist actually knows roughly what you income is, based on your shipping adress alone, while geo-location online still consistantly place me in the most expensive city in Denmark, but I live in an area where income is average at best.

Also he doesn't explain why most universities lose funding. Unlike private companies (especially managed by Elon) most research teams are either incredibly inefficient or have to deal with an incredibly inefficient bureaucracy machine. Companies like Neuralink or SpaceX bring brilliant, efficient teams together with an efficient "machine" (the company), which is a winning combination.
Always write an implementation first - and make it a good one. Then derive a standard from it.

"Oh, but the implementation details will leak through!"

So what? This is an ivory-tower concern. When you are designing a standard, you must have your mind on possible implementations, which is far more difficult without having created an actual implementation. You can't design in a total vacuum, otherwise your standard can't be implemented properly at all.
You mean Apple? Facebook want this to be publicised.
I’d already answered why. Because the “stupid” solution is achievable whereas the “smart” solution is not.

As mentioned elsewhere, we drifted into this over decades of laziness so it’s unreasonable to expect a swift (or even any) change if it’s left to those same people to rollback that lost hour.
I can imagine you'd want to split it e.g. into 250 4-lane tracks, with the leftmost track being reserved for people going all the way to the end of the highway, rightmost track for people who're about to exit the highway, and the middle tracks for people traveling to various points along the highway path, sorted left-to-right by distance, descending.

Otherwise it would be just one huge mess.
This is from the folks that make changelog nightly/weekly, a newsletter you can subscribe to to see what GitHub repositories were the most started in the last day/week. Nice work!
You can’t just substitute different transgressions and use the same reasoning. There are plenty of crimes where it’s reasonable to be more lenient to a first-time offender, but murder is not one of them.
That makes no sense, unless the money has been taken out of the target account in physical form.
It wouldn't really affect Apple at all if they allow the sideloading of free apps that are already in the store.
Is VS a great IDE. It's laggy, it's too 'helpful' eg. it's going to add a close bracket if you type an open bracket unless you tell it not to, in which case it's a bitch to customise (took me 20 mins to find that option) and no luck so far if I want to adjust eg. menu & tab font to make them larger.

It can do refactoring etc. and has context-sensitive help/completions but honestly I work in emacs because it offers so much more - except the high-level refactoring etc. Omnisharp works, sort of... VS just isn't as good as emacs in many, many basic ways.

Anyway, I'll look at SSDs and stop nattering about editors.
Automattic isn't just wordpress. But even if wordpress is more successful, the fact that medium had any success at all, even though wordpress already existed proves that medium did something right.
