It seems pretty straightforward: we are capable of great benevolence to people we view as our "tribe", and great cruelty to "others". It makes sense biologically and has played itself out that way in history and among our closest animal relatives.

That being said you only get one life, and most of your views will go unchallenged throughout it. Why spend that brief time always assuming and preparing for the worst?
What's interesting is how strong the selection pressure seems to be to have melanin content adjusted to match the local conditions for sunlight. In the western hemisphere, where humans have only lived for ~20,000 years, there was already notable variations in pigmentation developing prior to 1500AD. That would make sense if vitamin D production is very important to health.

I know several very active founders on LinkedIn as well, but it’s clear that they’re all using LI for the intended purpose: Building their personal brand and business network. They may not be actively looking for jobs or desperate for clients, but they are working the system to elevate their own status.

It’s possible to find halfway decent content on LI, but it takes a lot of work to filter out the fluff. Even then, you have to be honest about why people are doing it in the first place: Networking and brand building. No busy founder is going to frequently take time away from their growing business to write LI content without expectation of personal or business gain.

That’s not to say you can’t find diamonds in the rough, but you need to be realistic about the context to separate it from the brand building.
I think you're missing the point of TFA. This is a show trial, not a legitimate extradition of a criminal. The fact that he's been charged with crimes doesn't make him guilty of them, and he, like everyone, deserves a fair hearing in court to determine that.

The original charges against him would have resulted in a failed extradition (as the prosecution admit). So the US government changed the charges during the trial to "better" ones that were more likely to succeed. Without giving the defence any time to prepare a case defending against those new charges.

This isn't justice. I'm ashamed as a UK citizen that we're not able to stand up to the USA and conduct an extradition hearing that is actually just. Especially since the USA refuses to extradite one of its citizens to the UK when charged with murder.

I'm furious as an Australian citizen (I'm dual-national) that we're not fighting to prevent such gross injustice to one of our own citizens. The Aussie government has done nothing, said nothing, about any of it. It's pathetic and infuriating.

> That would surely imply a _lower_ valuation? You wouldn't expect lasting high margins in that business, whereas it is at least _possible_ (if not common) in the auto industry.

I think that's one difference here. I do expect lasting high margins (car sales and services). I mentioned this in another comment, but being able to sell passes for autopilot trips for $100 or something are going to be very lucrative.

Think about something like the Tesla supercharger network. Ok now that Tesla is also an energy supplier and uses software to find good rates, stores energy in batteries, etc, they'll better be able to get the best price on energy. You can sell excess energy back into the grid via Tesla software with your solar roof, for example, or charge your Tesla even cheaper than competitors might using a traditional energy grid.

These are just possibilities, but I see the end result being an extremely profitable business with great margins. My only area of concern right now is that their auto service is abysmal. They charge a premium price for a car, but boy it's nowhere near the service you get with Mercedes or BMW. Lots of "well that's in-spec" types of comments from service teams. Lack of loaner cars at times, just all around not great service (though there are exceptions) that I've seen first-hand and anecdotally. Even the r/Tesla subreddit will tell you it's bad.
It's a pretty succinct description of the two sides of tribalism.
Traditional manufacturer. Saying "we're a tech company over and over" isn't going to make the global ASP for cars double, and they would ultimately need both that, and grabbing an unrealistically large part of the market, to justify their current price.

(The solar business is even worse; that's basically a generic product and should be expected to have extremely low margins in the long term)
Exactly. Logic is universal and self-evident, so the point of any argument is to dig into which fundamental assumptions you disagree about. And once you've reached this point, the argument is over.

Though, it's possible to keep arguing after by challenging the internal consistency of the other person's assumptions. You can often win arguments by demonstrating that their set of assumptions leads to a illogical and contradictory result, or you can show how their assumptions prove something that they don't agree with.

A couple years ago my blood tests showed low Vit D and so I've been taking it twice a week since. I don't know about health but on the two days I take it I seem to have a lot more motivation to get things done and instead of thinking "I should go do X" I find myself just doing it.
Are you asking from a career or technical perspective?

This report isn't particularly technically complex, a majority of this sort of leaked data is widely available on clearweb forums. The minority requires building relationships and/or paying and/or developing a reputation that gets you access to more exclusive forums or circles. You then have to regularly crawl those forums, and avoid identification of your crawlers (as the more exclusive forums/site watch out for that sort of activity pattern). Then you just index the data and can perform searches or analysis.

https://scylla.sh/ is a free example covering just breach data.

From a career perspective, this is a subset of threat intelligence. The more interesting companies in this space often are leveraging military-style HumInt to gain access to these marketplaces and data, and often have leadership from that sort of military or government background. Most folks I'd assume are just standard engineers however, as a majority of the work is probably not specific to "dark web monitoring for intelligence."
Well yes, this is for JVM, so maven ecosystem, sorry.

I have been contemplating also doing a clone on node.js (titanoboa is written in clojure so it would just be a move from clojure to clojurescript), but I did hear that the npm ecosystem is a bit uninviting too...

What dependencies tools would you like to see?
No, they are not.

They might claim though - as in the link below - that this is because their products are too niche to support quality input from open source. Make of that what you will.

Some people tend to forget that most neural models are an oversimplified approximation of biological nervous systems.
When I first started compiling code, there were often pages and pages of compiler errors. I felt that I had to read all the errors every time, and then somehow the most important information would magically emerge from taking in the big picture.

I learned to focus in on just the first compiler error, and ignore all the rest.

Read the first error. Resolve the first error. Recompile. Repeat.

This is just one example of breaking big problems into smaller problems.
The biggest problem that I have with crypto is it's insane power usage. As soon as we have a commonly available crypto currency that's secure, doesn't use 'proof of work', is efficient and stable, I'm in. Until then I can't take it seriously. Crypto is the digital equivalent of driving a hummer.

It will. I'll stake my life-savings on it too.

>Thinking about this further - have bad trips been observed in clinical studies where the the LSD was created in a controlled, ideal lab setting?

Yes, actually, the results here are the ones usually criticized by psychonauts for causing bad trips due to "bad settings" or "poor preparation". There's a bit of truth to that, but the bad trips are always going to happen.
What is the currently accepted best practice to write scripts? Is it to use Perl or Python?
I clicked on some of them, and most have fewer than 20 recorded instances in over 100 years. I guess it happens sometimes, but it's really not comparable to the prevalence of names like Ed, Jo, Bo etc (which aren't always contractions). The most common two letter name in France is probably something like Li or Ng.

Edit: Funny observation - when you use the system that's linked to try and look up the public records, it won't even let you search for names with less than two letters.
These systems are produced by people who believe in claptrap like this, that human beings are innately good but merely corrupted by institutions. How many million have died, from "Kulak" farmers to Chinese peasants, as a result of this kind of thinking which blinds us to thinking we can do no wrong?

> Using rdi, rsi, rdx, rcx, r8, r9 and then the stack is the calling convention used on x64 linux

It's more complicated than that - floats/doubles and structs of them are put in SSE registers instead. Mixed structs are packed into integer registers (!) if they are small enough.

And with C++ classes with non-trivial destructor/etc. are always passed on the stack.

Everything I've ever observed about human behavior leads me to believe it's more complicated than this dichotomy. I'd hope that the book is less naive than the review makes it seem to be.
> This is a departure from the discussion of supplementing vitamin D though, isn't it?

I don't think so, no. If my hypothesis is correct, the problem is not that they didn't go outside and play sports. The problem is that they are sick, and sick people don't go outside as much.

Forget Vitamin D for a moment. Imagine that every time you were outside for an hour, the Outside Fairy granted you one Outside Token. Over the course of a month, it's reasonable to assume that healthy people would have more Outside Tokens than sick people. But these Outside Tokens obviously would have no causal effect on whether or not people are sick. Giving sick people Outside Tokens would obviously not help them - their problem is that they are sick. They have less Outside Tokens because being sick makes it more difficult to be outside for an hour.

In other words, the arrow of causation is being sick -> less Outside Tokens, and not being sick -> more Outside Tokens. If that's the case, then Outside Tokens are irrelevant to treating the sick people. If, say, they have cancer, you should ignore the Outside Tokens and treat the cancer with all of the standard means we have of treating cancer.

They hypothesis is that "low levels of Vitamin D" are just those Outside Tokens.

(Yes, when Vitamin D levels are low enough, that can cause other kinds of health problems. But this hypothesis is that what we're measuring as "low" is still within the healthy range. How do we know when it's not in the healthy range? When it tends to cause the kinds of problems we are more confident are directly linked to low levels of Vitamin D.)
> Toyota may sell 10x the cars, but if Toyota must rely on Tesla battery factories, then Tesla can just eat their margin: Toyota sales feed Tesla's bottom line.

That would assume that Tesla somehow had a lasting monopoly on lithium ion batteries, which are ultimately a pretty generic product. In practice, you'd expect margins on batteries to be very, very low in the long term.

>If you look at every trip as a learning experience, even a bad trip doesn't have to be all bad.

For some, maybe even most, but it would be irresponsible to assume that it would be the case for everyone, and this is exactly the sort of blaming the victim of the bad trip for "doing it wrong" that I was talking about. Somehow it's their fault for having a bad trip, or for looking at it wrong and failing to "correctly" integrate it into their worldview.

Humans are a diverse group. That line of thinking just doesn't work from a clinical perspective.

Rockstar developers can duct tape a bunch of bullshit together and make a good demo, and after 6 months when they get poached by another company you'll just have to hire actually competent people. They'll have to untangle the your geniuses opus of bullshit and rebuild it into something that works. It will take time and it will be expensive.

I'm not too bothered by people wanting to hire rockstars though because there will always be a market for people like me to come in and clean up the mess.
nobody on the US end seems to give a shit that local companies are facilitating dictators

Slightly fewer than half the electorate in the US is excited to vote for an authoritarian president in their own country who has repeatedly talked about not giving up power due to term limits [0] or election results [1], a guy who praised Xi for just naming himself president for life and said he'd like to give it a shot [2].

It follows that a lot are indifferent to dictators abroad.

The British did not create the tensions between Muslims and Hindus in the Indian subcontinent. They papered over them for a long time but the big question of who’s going to be in charge once they left was not one they were in a position to dictate the answer to.

https://www.gnxp.com/WordPress/2019/03/01/the-blood-on-brown...

> Since I am not Pakistani I did not know what the “Two-Nation Theory” (TNT) was before I ran the Brown Pundits weblog. Basically, this is the idea that the Indian subcontinent has within it two religious nations, the Hindu and Muslim. This is not a theological assertion as much as an ethno-sectarian one. The founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was not a devout Muslim. His personal mores were more that of an upper-class Brit (he enjoyed his whiskey). But, his ethnocultural identity was clearly that of an upper-class Muslim. As a lawyer, he defended a man who killed a Hindu who the man believed had blasphemed against Islam. Jinnah’s defense was motivated by his communal loyalty. Even if he himself was not pious, the offense was against the Muslim nation, and he stood with the Muslim nation.

...

> If you had asked me at a younger age my unconsidered opinion would have been that India should have stayed united to avert the bloodiness of the partition, whose death toll is estimated from the hundreds of thousands to millions. But upon further reflection and thought, I think the TNT captures the essential fact that the Muslim upper-class of Northern India would never be able to reconcile itself well with secondary status within the state, and, with ~25% of the population being Muslim, would always have a huge vote bank so that they could not be ignored. Perhaps a confessional state with a divided balance of power such as Lebanon could have been attempted, but I doubt the Lebanese solution would scale to a polity which covered the whole Indian subcontinent. A more feasible scenario might be a confederation.

Thanks, I saw this but still wasn't sure I was missing something. Evidently there's a project that kicks in when you have 10mil probes lost in combat. I've been at this stage for probably 2 hours now and have only lost 250k probes in combat. Given that people have completed this game in 5-6 hours I feel like I must be doing something wrong
It's possible, but we have no positive evidence for it. Absent that evidence, I don't think we should assume that possibility is reality.

Remember driving home from work one day (SA when Linux was first making a noise in the Novell world) and wanting nothing more grand than to learn to properly code in (gnu) awk and expect (tcl). After 23 years I don't even enjoy coding anymore. It's about getting the task out of the inbox and
into the outbox.
I've held the shares short for short enough time that I haven't gotten tagged with any charges yet to give you actuals. The interest is super-low in any case, so when you're shorting shares that have moved parabolically, you're probably not worried about whether the borrow is 1% or 4% per year (or at least I'm not).
Holy cow, I really like this. Super simple.

I think you need to adjust pricing to differentiate between big corporate users and small developers. I'd pay $199 once (not per year) for my own use. But if I were running an IT shop at a larger corp, I'd pay a lot more. See if there is a way to expand your pricing both at the high and the low end.

Like all simple apps, I expect I'd run into roadblocks quickly without some customizability. The trick for you is to figure out how to add some of that without losing your main value prop, which is simplicity.

In particular, I'm sure I would want to customize screens. I didn't download the app and try it so I don't know if that's there, but I didn't see it in the video.

Fuck the frequency domain, here-

"Convolution with a kernel K" describes a system whose impulse response is K. In discrete time, suppose you have K=[1,2] and convolve [0,1,2,0] with it- you wind up with [0,1,3,2,0], if I'm awake enough for arithmetic.

Correlation with a kernel K is convolution with K time-reversed (i.e. [2,1])- you'd get [0,2,5,2,0] (again if I'm awake). Note that 5- right there, the input signal "lines up just right" with the kernel- 2x2 + 1x1. That's why it's called correlation- its output is big when the input looks like the kernel.
