While this information may be useful, it does not fully address an investor's concerns about risk. The field of behavioral finance has contributed to an important component of the risk equation, demonstrating the asymmetry between how people perceive gains and losses. In the language of probability theory, the field of behavioral finance introduced by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman in 1979, investors are showing a loss aversion. Both Tversky and Kahneman document that investors have placed nearly twice the weight on pain associated with loss compared to the feeling of goodness associated with gain.

Beta helps us understand the concepts of negative and positive risk. The chart below shows a time series of returns (each data point named "+") for a given portfolio R (p) versus the market return R (m). Returns are adjusted in cash, so the point at which the x and y axes intersect is the equivalent cash return. Plotting a line of best fit through the data points allows us to identify passive (beta) and active (alpha) risks.

Alpha and Active Risk Management

If market level or systemic risk is the only influencing factor, then portfolio return will always be equal to the beta adjusted market return. Of course, this is not the case: returns vary due to a number of factors unrelated to market risk. Investment managers who follow an active strategy bear other risks of generating returns in excess of market performance. Active strategies include tactics that enhance stock selection, sector or country, fundamental analysis, position sizing, and technical analysis.

Agree on this one - authoritative bodies can be wrong / misled as well, and shouldn't be the only arbiters of truth.

Ex: The WHO made many mistakes during COVID, including faulty recommendations and (alleged) influence by a governing body to limit bad press. [1]

(Before the ad hominem attacks come in, I'm obviously very pro vaccine...but against censorship and generally distrust authoritative bodies of most kinds.)

Not only more unreadable code, but probably even more correctness problems since you don’t have a type checker validating the expansions (writing correct macros is even harder than writing correct code).
The right way to handle an engineering problem with ethical implications is to handle it carefully, internally and via the appropriate channels. It is wholly inappropriate to make something public that very likely can be handled appropriately without the public fallout. I would call it unethical to your coworkers to create unnecessary damage to your team or your company by ignoring the appropriate process for handling sensitive internal issues.

If things are being shoved under the rug by management, that is an entirely different issue.

I don't think it usually is. It's not like earrings are sold exclusively at jewellery stores. You can find them at drug stores, grocery stores, gas stations, random street vendors, and all sorts of other places. You can easily buy earrings for less than $10, and less than $5, too.

That's also true with lots of other fashion accessories.

It's definitely true with headphones as well. Aesthetics were an enormous part of the Beats brand, and a bunch of other headphone companies. If aesthetics weren't important, you'd see more people walking around with monoprice headphones.

Ask HN: Are We F*cked?
I haven't seen much discussion on this topic, and I'm hoping the discussion follows from this post will result in actionable insight. Or it may be that I am being overly pessimistic.

Over the past couple of years there has been an amalgam of factors resulting in people living in their own bubbles of truth. I suspect this trend has been fuelled by a concerted effort by skilled state actors to divide people in the US, and the west in general. These groups have been given near free rein by Facebook, YouTube et al. to run highly sophisticated campaigns to maximize chaos and destroy civil discourse. I understand that Facebook et al. are trying to prevent this, but as someone who has a PhD in Deep Learning, I am high skeptical of the ability of ML/DL/AI/Whatever to combat such actors. I feel like we are at a stage where someone's idea of truth has been so tightly strangled by their social media intake that if you were to send a flat-earther to space on a rocket, they would declare the experience as fake and fabricated. Today, watching the supreme court judge nominee say that climate change was debatable, when in fact it, man made or not, it is an irrefutable fact, really made me feel pessimistic about this whole situation. If we continue on this path, and I struggle to see a way out, it seems almost inevitable that we are heading into a situation where the damage done will be too great to remedy.

People watch over 114 THOUSAND YEARS of youtube per a day, some of that might be educational, but the majority of that is thanks to the algorithm playing with their limbic system, sending them down yet another rabbit hole, and people in general are complete slaves to their limbic system. How do we stop this? How do we prevent the probable unravelling of civil discourse as a result of everyone having their own version of truth?

VPN clients traditionally virtualizes your network interface entirely. Everything acts as if your are actually physically present because it's virtualized nicely. It's great because it "just works".

These "non-VPN" solution seem to use a client on your machine that change any DNS lookup through the OS layer by hooking into gethostaddr() and returning the same IP for all domains if they are in the list of hosts that should be virtualized. Then only the traffic to domains that are needed is virtualized, anything else is untouched. YouTube and Netflix won't get piped over your company network, as an example.

Disclaimer: I don't really know that this is how it works but this is how other providers do it.
You cannot do cloud recording, which is usually preferable for companies.

If you look at 100 Webex customers, who have access to a high quality E2E capability, you’ll find 3-5 (outside the military) who have ever used it.

You cannot do service-side POTS integration unless you integrate with an on premises PBX and restrict external calls.

I’ve been on teams designing high security collaboration environments. E2E is a need for specific use cases only — the user endpoint is usually a bigger risk. Nobody with that need is considering Zoom!

But there's no shame in tapping out of an MMA elbow lock because fighters (rightly) want to retain the use of both arms. I have never seen a boxer tap out. Refs will sometimes end a match when they want to save a boxer from getting beaten to death in the ring, but the boxers are usually reluctant to leave the fight.
I suppose it is, still it's an abuse of the subsidy. They should have found some other way to give Microsoft 500 million. This way it's literally stealing from a fund that's meant to save the environment.
A rush could just as likely be a realization that a story like this, whether true or not, can sow massive doubt. Just look at what happened with Comey and Clinton in 2016. Rushing to get ahead of a story doesn't only happen when the story is true, but when you expect a sizable subset of the population to believe the story is true.
This is a fun list, but insomnia, and poor sleep quality are a serious problem.

I've been an insomniac all my life, and when I got an Oura, started to understand that even when I do sleep, I'm not getting good quality sleep. I'd done sleep tests a few times as a kid, so knew about my central apnea, but didn't know about the lack of REM I was getting.

That's why we're creating https://soundmind.co, it's a headband that monitors your sleep state, and uses different audio tones to adjust your sleep state.

Pretty much. I think "just" is oversimplifying a bit of how powerful they can be, but yes all the reporter blocks are shape generic, and we're exploring whether other tools can be as well. Could we build a really intuitive version of np.vectorize? Maybe. :)
Are you just speculating, or is there actual proof that the article is fake? Twitter seems to think it contains at least some authentic material that was obtained illicitly.

The FBI has confirmed the authenticity of subpoenas in the past and I'm confident that they'd be able to do so before November. Determining if the pictures are photoshopped is trickier but could probably also be done relatively quickly

“Deprecate” is the most misused technical word I’ve seen in the last 10 years. A whole generation of engineers seem to believe deprecate means to “remove support” or to remove entirely. Like “I just deprecated that function and deleted 100 lines of code.“

It actually means to “discourage use”. It’s the first step for a feature to be removed. You deprecate something and let the users know that they shouldn’t use it if possible and in the future it will be removed.

If you used a deprecated API, it means the API is no longer encouraged to be used, but it doesn’t mean the API is removed or that support is withdrawn.

The problem is that the cables have a weakness that causes them to eventually break. Getting a new brick and cable to go with the phone solves that issue at least for a few years. With the new cable being USB-C, you can’t use the old brick with the new cable. The brick was also useful when traveling to places without USB-C ports or even other USB ports.

The irony is, the point of my comments in this thread were to move from Zhenya's bagging on both politicians and homeless people without offering any constructive solutions, to having a productive discussion about how to make things better.

I'm happy with my contribution involving keeping my own severely mentally-ill relatives off the streets. If our family hadn't gotten lucky with some county programs, a couple of people close to me would now be living on the street due to no fault of their own. They're sick, and it's a full-time job split between various family members to keep them above water.

Thanks for your input. I apologize if I come across as overly argumentative. I'm just bored and interested in the subject. If we were in person, I'd buy you a beer.
Tax returns would be harder to verify I think. Email is super simple and cryptographic (virtually tamper proof). Just publish the full, raw email with all the headers.

And it’s not a lack of easy confirmation. It’s trivial to say conclusively whether or not that email was processed by Gmail. If it wasn’t it’s 100% guaranteed to be a really poor quality fake.

If it went through Gmail and has the proper signatures, then it’s not as easy to confirm or refute because you’d need a lot more info from the mail providers.

Good comment. The opposite of pridewashing is either a form of neutrality or hostility. Neither which are good.

Yes it's "trendy", but there is REAL value in LGBTQ+ representation in media, goods, and more.
It's like pedagogical fantasy, or like, narrative programming instead of literate programming.

In Neal Stephenson's Anathem there are monks that turn mathematical proofs into songs and other art, and it reminds me of that.
"Typical" is doing a lot of work there. How do I know what you think is typical? What if it's only 1TB?

And if you say "99.999% of client storage needs", that's probably a bigger number than you think and it's hard for me to figure out what the number is.
I was also wondering about that! “No neutral answers” is an interesting theory, although I’ve used 1-5 preference plus “no opinion” (for an even total of six) before.

An alternative theory might be just that this simply forces people to pay attention when building surveys - nothing magic about even or odd, just forcing that final check-over to make sure everything adds up.
One of the design features that we wanted to include in our main embodiment was: OPEN-EAR audio. Having something sitting inside the ear all day did not appeal to us; which is why we went with this design. There are a number of ways to disguise an in-canal hearable, but the "in-canal" option was something we wanted to avoid for all-day wear.

Couldn't the pinch effect be used to crush two superconducting filaments into each other? My rough calculation is something like 5 MA(in each conductor, spaced by 1mm) would do the trick, assuming that much current and B don't interfere with superconductivity (I have no idea).

Looks like the highest current ever achieved is 100 kA. A mere 100 fold increase and we should be good to go.
> Would Google be happy if one of their employee made a statement...

Would the worker be happy if their boss tells them how to speak, what to speak, and what they can't speak about?

Honestly, Googlers work very hard. This isn't as big of an issue as people are making it out to be.

How do you want foster freedom and lessen control/restrictions? Seriously.

The idea that we should limit speech...is a very dangerous path to even think about. All thoughtful points are moot compared to how those policies can be abused and destroy an entire civilization. Nazi Germany wasn't too long ago. China restricted a doctor's speech about sounding the alarm on Covid19 (so it's more recent too).

If society (a collection of individuals) continue to think that it's "okay" to restrict someone's opinions (for any justification), they make society weaker. Truth wins out. Not authoritarianism.

But...back to my main point of responding to you. Googler (and other tech companies) aren't a DC think tank. They're building and shipping things. They work hard. And those that are highly skilled, want the autonomy in work. If you restrict that autonomy, you restrict your talent pool of workers. Maybe you think that's a good choice (Coinbase would agree) but...in the long-term, IMHO, freedom is more powerful than control.
Crux of the issue is that everyone knows there’s a double standard. Why do they co-ordinate to block this story and not the countless other “unverified” scoops? Because it threatens a protected politician.
Did you watch the presentation? The new cables (if you buy an iPhone today) are Lightning at one end, and USB-C at the other. So you can't use them with your old adapter. This means a new iPhone buyer is getting a phone with no charger, and any of the old chargers they have won't be usable with this cable.

And cheap USB-A Lightning cables are crap. Even expensive ones from Anker are crap. Apple made ones are okay, but have poor strain relief, so eventually they crap out too.

He used company resources and an internal forum so that doesn't fit under OP's description of being "a private citizen representing the opinions of yourself."

And he was fired for creating a hostile work environment for his colleagues. Not for his private views.
It's a matter of freedom.

The standard argument is that freedom of speech only applies to governments, but that's based on an outdated assumption. In human history, we've never before had individual companies like Facebook and Twitter that are so enormous and have so much control over our public speech. (2.7 billion and 330 million monthly active users, respectively.) They have become "the town square of the world", so to speak. Facebook and Twitter are not literally governments, but they're actually larger than many governments, with a larger population and more wealth than many nations. There's nothing special about governments with regard to freedom of speech except that it has always been assumed governments are the only entities with enough individual power to significantly restrict free speech. That assumption is no longer true. Indeed, the whole motivation behind this particular act of censorship is the idea that these platforms are so powerful that they can change the outcome of the election of one of the largest nations on Earth. I'm not sure I believe that, but it's clear in any case that Facebook and Twitter are not just normal "private companies". They're not little moderated discussion forums. They have effectively (unfortunately) become the public sphere.

Twitter once locked me out of my account because I made a joke about bitcoin. Their stupid "algorithms" got me. And the only reason I was able to get my account unlocked was that I personally knew a Twitter engineer. I don't trust Jack or Zuck even one tiny bit to exercise the vast power they have to silence millions of people. It's not even a question of whether I agree with the NY Post article: the story is probably bullshit. But so were the news stories about Iraq having WMD. How about suspending the NY Times account too? How about suspending every news outlet that has published a debunked story? "Anonymous sources tell us that yadda yadda."

By design, Facebook and Twitter allow everyone in the world to post anything they want. That includes lies. If they can't accept the consequences of the platform they created, then they should shut down. But as long as they exist, with the size of their user base, they are simply too big and too powerful to be allowed to restrict our freedom of speech.
