OpenSignals is the right kind of Domain-Oriented Observability
Tests with random inputs can be much easier to write. For example here's a test for a single hard-coded example:

public bool canSetEmail() {
User u = new User(
"John",
"Smith",
new Date(2000, Date.JANUARY, 1),
new Email("john@example.com"),
Password.hash("password123", new Password.Salt("abc"))
);
String newEmail = new Email("smith@example.com");
u.setEmail(newEmail);
return u.getEmail().equals(newEmail);
}

Phew! Here's a randomised alternative:

public bool canSetEmail(User u, Email newEmail) {
u.setEmail(newEmail);
return u.getEmail().equals(newEmail);
}

Not only is the test logic simpler and clearer, it's much more general. As an added bonus, when we write the data generators for User, Email, etc. we can include a whole load of nasty edge cases and they'll be used by all of our tests. I've not used Java for a while, but in Scalacheck I'd do something like this:

def genEmail = {
val genStr = arbitrary[String]
.map(_.replace("@", ""))
.retryUntil(_.nonEmpty)

for {
user <- genStr
domain <- genStr
tlds <- Gen.listOf(genStr)
} yield (user + "@" + (domain :: tlds).mkString("."))
}

Even using the default String generators, this still gives pretty good examples, e.g.

scala> genEmail.sample
res1: Option[String] = Some(뀩貲㳱誷Ⓣ壟獝鈂ᗘ䮕鹍尛斿績線孞왁궽偔ቫ﯃쥑瞴䒨䏵艥꿊狿냩쩈簋㷡泪伺鑬鮘䦚벛妹乘饡㙧ꐤ큫ᯕ肳铬呢ூ靪୒틯鏱滄㧄Ｐ莶寕상䐀鹭ᚿ㌤ᇹ䶂攔ꅥ㶓⽌ꅂ뀏뛶盏⍸㇗ɧ⇽줓嵛@퇐䎁鱎馉琿䏍㔰蘿⠶㘮큵휕炠᭑㯠ꇷ氕瑤镦碋䓯鄓헛㥝籆찷舊⸦䁜⯞௵籋㟨㨴鯅鿸刡㽴ﮈ耾刏碓辁亁ᦨ氦ব꧓ꌝ飖䒱찮刍ฤ﯉⯛ஃ颰溯쨚ই媐䄇延醴熜䢐필㉕徫澬폁횱坠줊埬າ⟂.὆蹵箅䀈떥喹뭡㘺ꐟ⯉쉂㯻牏䢺梘쭸칹总⻎恵꣥ﴈ宎嶲ꎮ쌊䯧挤ꓯ⻯ꢠ鏿㰔操駚樅졇੩풻殜ᶝ팱.瘽៣뿔뱡䞿愝滠蛊妏뷩먰⦹挸긖᩿㣽ﮀ嫶ꚸ㗃鈴䇡⋥梏ڝ晡烡.줼欺ࠞ娫)

The other advantage is that automated shrinking does a pretty good job of homing in on bugs. For example, if our test breaks when there's no top-level domain (e.g. 'root@localhost') then (a) that will be found pretty quickly, since 'tlds' will begin with a high probability of being empty and (b) the other components will be shrunk as far as possible, e.g. 'user' and 'domain' will shrink down to a single null byte (the "smallest" String which satisfies out 'nonEmpty' test); hence we'll be told that this test fails for \0@\0 (the simplest counterexample). We'll also be given the random seeds used by the generators.
Worse, it isn't that we stuck with it, but the public have lost control to WHATWG (el Goog & the Gang)

yes timing right now would be terrible. if those alliances would be solid however then maybe there would be less reason to escalate things (because soft power and sanctions would be more effective?).
> If they had, you might have doubted their claim that this is the reason that college costs $50+k/yr.

I think of this more as a capacity problem. Let's say every student has the capacity to pay for ~15k in schooling. If you have ~15k in spending power you can almost always find someone who will lend to you at around 2x your spending power. Because of this you can probably find someone to give you 30k on top. After that the government gives you an extra 5K of deferred loans.

Suppose people couldn't get that last $5k from the government. No one in the country could come up with the money. Would colleges close down?

If they wouldn't close down, and they would instead make adjustments to their pricing, then you can reasonably say that the government involvement here is making SOME change to the market effects.

We might argue here about numbers and percents but it's pretty evident: if your consumer base has a higher purchasing power you can extract more money from them. There's a load of MacOS devs that make a living selling $10 utils that can attest to this.
> other global illumination improvements

RTX cards don't render everything with ray tracing. They use it for light calculations, for example it can be used exactly for global illumination.

> why this is something we need.

The answer is simple. Because there is a limit to how realistic we can make the lighting and shadowing using the old models. We are almost at that limit. Using ray tracing removes that limit.

> challenging to do in a game with consistent frame rates

Try Quake II RTX. It is very consistent right off the bat, and if you turn on the resolution scaling, you can get completely consistent framerates (within 2-3 fps continuously). While it might not be a game with the most advanced graphics, it does have variety of scenes, and there is no issue with the framerates being "inconsistent".

What you're talking about is redistribution. And I'm in favour of that. But who are you going to redistribute from? Me? No thanks, I'm already supporting a crowd of boomers and farmers and a bloated military sector and billionaire bailouts etc. So you'll have to cut some of those. But good luck doing that under the current politically system.

This is why it's so hard at the bottom of the labour market: we spent all our money on corn subsidiaries and free shit for people over 65. There's nothing left for working people. And that includes me. I had to struggle through a shitty under funded school, take poorly paid jobs, pay off a huge student loan and now I'm facing higher income taxes and bloated artificial house prices and a national debt built to record levels giving other people tax cuts for nothing.

We can't solve issues like this in isolation because the real issue is that there are no resources left. You have to solve resource distribution. And that's gonna be very very hard. Until then, all any of us can do is try to avoid being in a group that isn't politically important.

There are many. A lot of Pyramid/MLM schemes are legal but basically all unethical.

The hologram bracelet and other similar 'products' are unethical.

As for this article and OnlyFans. I don't see a problem with selling nudes (although some people might), but what I gives me pause is the analysis that the 'fans' think they're buying intimacy and friendship. If that is the case, this is highly unethical unless you actually provide some sort of a real human relationship (which of course would not scale very well).
Thanks for the kind words.
Github repos is unfortunately not possible right now but it should be easy to add further down the road. I'll make a issue and add it to the roadmap.

Foreign Aid Kills
Because it's extra work for them. The card company has charged the user, and then sent the money onward to the provider, when the user requests a chargeback, the card company gives the money back to the user, and attempts to take the money back from the provider. This requires human interaction in some cases, and therefore money ... so credit card companies don't want this.
Unpopular opinion: I never understood this drive to save or revitalize dying languages.

People create languages to communicate on an as-needed basis. And languages that aren't needed anymore or that are supplanted by other forces fall away.

Language is not a finite resource. Language is not equivalent to culture, and even if it were, culture is not a finite resource.

I'll be thrilled if every language in the world disappears except for one, and we all communicate in it. I don't care which one, although ideally it'll be a simple or logical one, like Indonesian/Malay, with a writing system like Hangul.

I wouldn't even be bothered if it's my own culture disappearing if the upshot is the global efficiency gain of everybody speaking, reading, and writing in ways that everybody else instantly understands, without the need for multi-lingual versions or translation software or human translators.

People who want to still do learn latin or Ancient Greek or Sanskrit. And even if they couldn't, the trade-off is still worth it times a thousand.

What about the mental exercise and developmental benefits of being bilingual? As a multi-lingual person myself, I recognize this. But there's no reason your other languages have to be from a particular culture or can't be constructed languages.

I'm guessing bilingual English/Korean kids or bilingual Spanish/Toki-Pona kids get all the same benefits, regardless of the particular language pair.

Also - what about the agency of students (and their parents) when deciding which school to attend and whether or not they can afford the loan? This article makes it sound as if it's purely the amount the lender is will to loan that determines the market price, but I would imagine the amount the student is willing to borrow must also play a pretty significant part.
With the gradual replacement scenario it might be easier to detect any fundamental differences between start and end states. Like if the end state is actually a p-zombie. But I haven't really thought this through.
> What's more, a government body certainly can and surely would limit total loan amounts for affordability reasons.

Interesting in this regard - the macro picture shows that the majority of the USA’s assets are these loans. Let’s hope they can all pay us back!

Finally, I think it is unfortunate that they are presenting their work in this way, rather than publishing peer-reviewed papers that would allow their claims to be scrutinised, but I guess this is something that we will have to get used to as neural interfaces move from the academic to the commercial sector.”

Well, and this is exactly what needs to be done to further this area as it is the part that's not completely addressed by academia. Any kind of academic research obviously focusses on generating one-time results for publication.

Although the term parasocial relationship originally refered to people viewing mass media, this does not strictly seem to be the case for onlyfans. So we're stretching the definition in any case. Although onlyfans is a little bit more of a one way street. What I meant is internet forums fill a similar need for illusory interaction. My relationship to HN is definitely of the illusory personal connection type. I can fool myself into believing that my words actually matter. Yet the hivemind does not even register what I write. Your experience might be entirely different. But if you don't have any type of emotional investment into this, why do you write?

They announced 130bn initially, then revised that down by 60 due to an accounting error. I think there was need for an additional 15bn with Victoria going back into lockdown and some other extensions.

Probably well spent as any money you give directly to workers quickly circulates back into the economy. There's no trickle down, but it definitely floats to the top.

How static/deterministic are the CGNAT translations though? It is conceivable that when client A connects to a Facebook service with IP X and port P that the source IP and port observed by Facebook is always the same.

In any case your ISP is probably logging all your DNS queries and all their dynamic NAT translations to a database, so couple REMOTE_ADDR with REMOTE_PORT and a timestamp and you can almost certainly be identified.
Underlying this discussion seems to be the free market/free will idea that refuses to judge decisions in a free market, because how could it? If someone spends money, they must get this objective, intangible benefit from it and who are we to judge. "You are not my mom".

Yet there is an objective difference in everything we do. You've listed a few nuances yourself; somethings are better than others. The underlying psychological circumstances are also true: There is a better, healthier way to live, feel and interact and there are many pathological, harmful ways too.

I would approach it like this and ask: "Would you rather play a game with a group of awesome friends (as hard as it may seem to find such a group, and even if that requires some effort and personality development to make such friends), or watch that streamer?"

"Would you rather have a real relationship with another person (as discouraged by the idea you might be right now) than hang out in that chatroom and pay money to a stranger?"

Surprised how much Amazon music pays artists.
This seems more like a dumb conspiracy, the kind of pseudoscience BS you’d feed to QANON’s.

Let’s go through it piece by piece:

1. Doesn’t define how IQ was measured in each country
2. Doesn’t state when for each country
3. Doesn’t define how the average was calculated
4. Doesn’t provide any data on rate of change of IQ - this is important, for those not aware IQ tests are reframed every few years to keep most people on the 85-115 range. The revision trend is always upwards so far - it’s arguable that we’re getting smarter because of flaws in IQ as a concept but we’re certainly becoming more capable in the modern world which is not controversial

Enough about IQ we could bang on more about statistical significance and anything between 85 - 115 is average but lets move on to the real meat to be refuted.

6. China’s one-child policy formally ended 5 years ago after many years of gradual reductions in restrictions
7. China is actively trying to walk back the damage of its 1 child policies and is incentivising married couples to have more than 1 child (and somewhat confusingly, has actually been doing this since before the end of the 1 child policy)

Now the real BS part

8. No country anywhere is pursuing dysgenic strategy
9. Welfare - help given to people who need it. I am intrigued what you actually mean here, are you suggesting we should let people die who can Otherwise be saved by provision of assistance?
10. Intake of migrants from “lower iq” countries - are these doctors and engineers on Visas or asylum seekers and refugees from areas rendered uninhabitable by war, climate or lawlessness?
