Decoding the Election: Algorithms, AI, and Your Vote
I'm making a lovecraftian typing game right now (see my progress here... https://twitter.com/LeapJosh ) and this was a planned feature, now I wonder if I should nix it so as not to be derivative, since you beat me to it!

Maybe I'll mix it up somehow.
Unfortunately, cops have to take precautions at traffic stops, specifically because cops have been killed at traffic stops.

Some traffic stops happen because the cop sees something suspicious and decides to investigate/explore the situation. I'm grateful they do. It helps keep trouble at bay, to an extent.

> the victim is scrutinized for eg not preemptively putting their hands on the steering wheel.

A cop would be an idiot to not make judgements, and change his behavior based on the situation.
Brilliant! I love it.
Turning them nocturnal probably makes them less efficient food consumers/breeders right? Otherwise it seems like they would turn nocturnal without the presence of hunters.

So it still seems like an improvement, unless there are frequent night attacks on humans or something that don't happen in the day (if being driven nocturnal to avoid humans I wouldn't think so).

Running 100 miles away, if there is food heir they would eventually breed themselves over to their anyway without hunting anyway wouldn't they?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but AWS doesn't allow you to do hard limits.

I was creating a public S3 bucket today and wanted there to be a hard limit, so I couldn't get slapped with a huge AWS bill. Looking at the docs, it appears I can get alerts but not set a hard limit on my billing.
There isn't a 1:1 mapping and Rust types can be more subtle (for example, string handling), but a rough mapping for the common types can be found here: https://gist.github.com/savarin/9059f091209c3d6e5fdba211c85c....

I also added a bit more context to the README, hope this is helpful.
I actually make the argument that you should pay me more if I work from home.

If you aren't going to be paying for a workspace, a lab environment, electricity, etc. for me to do my job, I'll be the one paying for those things, so give me more money to pay for it.

If you're not going to pay for an office for me to use, pay me enough to afford a larger home with a dedicated office space.

Scrolled to the article, finished reading, looked at the URL and wondered if insurers had gotten a lot more serious with their tech writing :)

Honestly though, thanks for this. I had wandered into Firebase a number of times, and always found hydrant not ball. After reading through and using it for a bit, the same problems you mentioned (why is 1MB the limit? Why isn't that abstracted away with gracefully degrading performance?) ran fast and ran far.

Did not know there was a better one. Would you say it's worth building on, still? Or is it at risk of cancellation by the Cube?
Saving 30% of a 200k salary is a lot better than saving 30% of a 90k salary.
I consider this essential:
The ability to decouple the task from your ego.

Specifically:

- Never say "Got it" or "OK" when someone is explaining a problem or solution and you don't follow. It feels awkward to say "Sorry, I'm still not following. Do you mean that when..." five times in the same conversation but it is worth your time and embarrassment to come away with a correctly framed and well understood situation. Otherwise you will figure out what they meant after wasting hours/days/months solving the wrong thing.

- You'll be faced with situations where your colleagues/organization expect you to implement solutions you think are not the best. Understand that "the best way" for the team or business is not necessarily the same as "the best way" for you personally or "the best way" overall. You are likely missing some context about the choice. Be mindful of reputation risks, time costs and maintenance costs involved in changing the approach.

When you're asked to code something you don't agree with (including ethical issues) your options include: silently accept their approach, refuse to do their approach, propose an approach (with conversation or code) and gracefully accept the result, or find another job. Be aware that different organizations will react differently to those approaches. Under no circumstances should you fall into the trap of spending a week to convince the team to adopt a change that would save a week of costs.
The MySQL documentation suggests using it to store a time interval:

"The hours part may be so large because the TIME type can be used not only to represent a time of day (which must be less than 24 hours), but also elapsed time or a time interval between two events (which may be much greater than 24 hours, or even negative)." [1]

How is the author's usage incorrect? Sure there's a documented allowed range, but it seems to me that the complaint is about the poor size of the range relative to other SQL technologies.

Honestly we see the hate because any opinion to the contrary is punching down. Downvote me all you like, but if a New Yorker says "Milwaukee/St Louis/Cleveland is worse than New York for these reasons" they get seen as elitist, coastal snobs. If the reverse happens and someone says "New York sucks for these reasons", nobody blinks an eye. When really, both options have their pros and cons. I'm not going to claim New York is always better, but I don't think we should assume Cleveland is the best either.
We should go back to spending 100% of our non-sleeping time wandering around trying to eat whatever we find on the ground. The good old days.
That is not what the article is about. The article is about that the hedge funds "could" have made the profit by using Vectorspace AI's services.

Hedge funds definitely made profit off of it and without Vectorspace AI's services.
Exactly. I think Pittsburgh has more in common with non-NYC New York than with Ohio. It feels much more like a non-Boston/NYC Northeastern city than like e.g. Columbus or Indianapolis.
The job of PR is to align the press with the company. The "R" in PR stands for "relations." It's not just sending out press releases.

The press tends to be antagonistic toward any big company. Good PR counteracts that, in part by finding and helping the members of the press who like the company.

No company was better at PR than Apple under Steve Jobs. They carefully groomed key reviewers and helped build up a pro-Apple ecosystem of media properties.

Edit: I should add that Apple's PR under Steve Jobs was led by Katie Cotton, and her dept. was famous for rarely responding to direct requests for comment on the news of the day.
It really depends on how you define "harm" and who is harmed. Classifying "not paid as much as some theoretical model claims a person should be paid" as "harm" without examining the theoretical model in detail is naive.

For example, let's assume we care about improving people's lives. It's probably a short walk to assume that more independent software companies (both big players and smaller startups) satisfy that goal better than only a few players, or one player.

A collusion-free labor market encourages players at the top to spend on labor until they bleed. Eventually, if nothing checks that cycle, they bleed out competing for a small pool of top talent, with the winner being the one with the deepest pockets who can afford to bleed longest. Then, the winner gobbles up the talent and resources of the bankrupting companies, and there are fewer players in the market (and the remaining players get to dictate labor prices on the grounds of being the only players).

Ironically, a soft salary cap can benefit the ecosystem in the long-term; employees aren't paid as much as they could be, hypothetically, short-term, but there's more job security because a price spiral is unlikely to disrupt their employer. And there's a more diverse set of independent companies in operation, likely leading to a more diverse set of software solutions and more improvement in people's lives than if salary spirals meant that only big players could afford to play.

It's one scenario among many possible, but it's interesting to observe how maybe not paying software engineers much as they could be in a completely laissez-faire market creates long-term benefits for the engineers, their employers, and consumers.
I’ve heard that CC0 is better for content than code (though I can’t remember exactly why). Either way, I wish the Unlicense and WTFPL people would get over themselves and just go with MIT: a license that I think they would use if it was called the “Do-What-You-Want-Just-Don’t-Sue-Me” License.
Follows it in time only. MS today is not because of the stagnated Microsoft, but in spite of it. Nadella saved MS.

You are committing fallacies of conflating cause and effect and surviorship bias.
People like different things is about what it boils down to.

I could give a care less about an authentic ramen shop, or really restaurants in general. Pre-pandemic, I ate out maybe once a month.

Coffee shops are another matter, but coffee is doing just fine around here.
Thanks for the clarification. We do plan to implement hard limits in the autoscaling feature.
I think I've fixed (well, worked around) a bug that may have been part of the problem. It's working for me now.

Thanks for the interest, everyone. It never occurred to me this would end up on Hacker News.
This is so easy to forget. I think when we're in the trenches it's quite hard to pull back and view what you're doing as means to an end and the means (libraries, frameworks) change constantly.

I think it's also difficult in practice because it feels good to master things in general. It's a nice feeling to know that you know a system inside and out, so detaching from that is going to be hard no matter what especially if you've invested quite a bit of your life into it

I'm white, live in the midwest, and get asked all the time where I'm from. It's a form of small talk around here, where everyone knows everyone, or you might have grown up near someone they knew. Not too different from talking about the weather (though we do that more often, as well).
To be clear, you're accusing me of tarring an entire region for relaying an experience I had in it. I didn't even make any claim that the South is more discriminatory against LGBT people than elsewhere, though if you're going to project that onto me anyway...

I guarantee you apply this kind of radical stance against all generalization in a very selective way. Do you get upset if someone says that Russia is a repressive country? Or that California is expensive?

Even if I were to give my entire life story, you can always feign offense, claiming "city A 20 miles away from city B is totally different, you can't generalize an entire county!" At some point I'd have to be listing all the individuals I had negative experiences with, and even then, isn't it unfair for me to represent the entirety of their person with a single selective moment of their life?
It would be much easier to just start enforcing our existing pro-competition laws, break up the interlocking parts, the huge chain stores and end price discrimination altogether. The same paradigm works for distributors of both digital and physical goods.

I don't think your questions are that hard to figure out if we just enforce the rules on the books, as they are supposed to be enforced.

> Does that mean that game publishers can no longer own game studios?

Yes

> Are game engines a platform, or only virtual stores?

Is the engine distributing physical or digital goods? If not, it is probably not an issue.

> Can GameStop no longer make an inhouse game?

Yes.
This isn't a study, it's a case report in a letter to the editor. What on earth are you talking about?

>I mean yes, I get that it's expensive. I'm just surprised that SO may people have been seemingly staying in this place that they hate, driving up rent prices for everyone who wants to be in the city, just so they could keep whatever job they have. I mean if you really hated the city wouldn't you have looked elsewhere by now? It's not like it's competitive to get a job in one of these midwestern cities, so surely that great job you had in NYC that tied you there would guarantee you a way out of the city.

The level of divergence of economic growth opportunities between some economic regions over others can make it rational for people to stay in a place they hate. Even if you can get a job in any other city, maybe it might not last for the next 10 years. The real risks in your life start coming around age 50 when your health starts faltering, and your healthcare costs go up and at the same time your employability might go down.

Also, quality of life as you get older in VHCOL like SF and NYC is definitely not as nice if you're not very high income. You spend all your time commuting to work, and I found that people were basically unavailable Mon to Fri. Whatever life they had was all on weekends, and even then it's allocated scheduled events. Whereas in less competitive areas, you can go have dinner at a friend or family's house after work on a weekday, and you can go to the gym, and be there for your kids because you're not spending 90 min + on the subway or train or having to allocate extra time due to public transportation service outages.

It seems like poor design to me, but more so on the .NET side than MySQL side. MySQL retaining backwards compatibility is sensible, though seems a bit awkward that they don't introduce a TIME_LONG type or similar that can hold more useful ranges. .NET just mapping a time span with a wider range down to MySQL's fairly limited range seems destined to cause problems.
Not a single person here was confused between the Midwest and the South, and you're obfuscating to generate noise.
Thanks, that's much more helpful, although still pretty mind-bending.
That's not my experience.
I'm no longer using Chrome as a daily driver, but when I first installed Chrome it was because IE was extremely unusable buggy and fell be hind a lot at the time and FF was great and all but a bit slow and and eating a lot of RAM. Chrome was fast and light

You claim MS "should have been replanted" in the '90s, but that claim makes the assumption that the end-result would be better than what we have now, does it not?

I don't think that's a safe assumption.
it seems like we both agree that "hunting" is not quite the right word for what is going on. to be clear, I'm not saying extermination is morally wrong in this case; it's clearly necessary to protect the local ecosystem. what's tragic is that we created this problem in the first place, and it seems the only solution left is to kill as many of them as we can as efficiently as possible.

What I learnt launching my startup
There's at least one person who shifted the discussion from the former to the latter (you). If you did so intentionally, knowing fully well the regions are completely distinct, perhaps you should consider your own role in generating noise before you accuse others of that. I do not believe it was unreasonable or obfuscating or noisy for me to point out that the discussion abruptly shifted to a totally different area of the country and that it was unclear whether this shift was intentional or an innocent mistake.
I have been wondering if there is a way to satisfy law enforcement without breaking encryption or adding backdoors. An idea: what if platforms allowed law enforcement (with a warrant) to conduct rainbow table attacks against encrypted content of a specific user? In other words, what if platforms allowed law enforcement to determine whether a specific known object (e.g. a known photo or video) was sent / stored by a user rather than decrypting all sent or stored objects?

This would allow law enforcement to track the spread of a known piece of content while avoiding breaking encryption. Perhaps it could be a compromise.
>Yes, covid is terrible but it's a different strain of a coronavirus (of which 20% of common colds are too), it's not something mystical. There's a strong chance we have substantial cross immunity to it though T-Cells defence. The literature is saying that if you're under 48 the flu has a higher mortality rate. We've mostly passed through the gompertz curve of the virus mortality as described by initial research by Hope Simpson regarding the seasonality of influenza viruses.

Sure. But COVID-19 is currently in pandemic mode, having now infected at least 10% of the worlds population with zero signs of slowing down. This is not an endemic virus with a known cap on seasonal infections like the flu or colds. The area under the curve is going to be massive in comparison. That's the issue. Yes, it may have many similarities to the long term effects of other viruses. But now we will have hundreds of millions of people dealing with this, rather than hundreds of thousands. Quantity has a quality all of its' own.
Agreed. I also suspect it's better to retype the whole word after a mistake - better to learn typing the word correctly rather than correcting the mistyped word. Absolute speed probably suffer in the short term though.
Unless there is a monopoly (or agreements between telcos to raise prices without competing) then why? How will breaking up Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon do anything to help US consumers? It might help their competitors, many of whom are very large (Alibaba).

Without a single doubt, a net positive. Important context to add is that I also had my tonsils removed at 23 when my PCP let me know that if I didn't have them removed I might suffocate in my sleep. Years of what was likely tonsilitis and the latent sleep apnea is likely what lead to my ADHD (strong scientific evidence to support this).

What still scares me to this day is how much more calm and witty I am when taking stimulants. Otherwise, I have a fog that seems to distract me or nag me away from doing anything that I'm otherwise interested in or makes me happy. Fortunately, I no longer have to drink 3-4 cups of coffee to get "in the mood" for work.
Its a win-by-default stance. Democrats embrace science, Republicans are anti-science; science is the truth, ergo dems good, repubs bad. QED.

Fwiw I did the math on that for goals of saving ~$300k for a mortgage and similar stuff.

It usually pays to sit in the big city for a few years with that salary, and then decamp to the smaller tech orbits, if your goal is to end up in one of the smaller cities.
