If course everything is tradeoffs. Thinking in a binary known/unknown is not helpful. I prefer probabilities wherever possible.

Choosing your bias depends on your field. In a safety critical field, you rather want to be safe than sorry. In web development, move fast and break things. This isn't hard though. You usually know which side you prefer when in doubt.
Or, maybe, it's an edge (ha!) case with little practical relevance because – as but one possibility – absolute numbers are low and dominated by network latency or rendering.

It could be that Mozilla's role in the whole scheme of things is to act as 'Plausible Deniability' defense for big G.

Which is, probably, what that Mozilla's current CEO lawyer is there for.

Google needed to get rid of Brendan Eich (Mozilla's CEO that was to browsers, like Bill Gates to Windows) - for the plausible deniability defense to work [1]

> Yes, it would appear there is an anti-pattern of programmers that feel like going lower level for certain things matters. It doesn’t always. Programming computers has multiple levels of abstraction for solving different problems.

The thing is, sometimes you need to know how those lower layers work in order to make that judgement. If you’re writing networking code in JavaScript and don’t know what sockets are, you’re going to have a bad time sooner or later.

So this is why we need multiple browser implementations. Competition fosters excellence. Imagine if Chromium had 100% market capture. Would they be incentivised to fix this?
How do you remove them?? I have a Pax where I nailed the backplane inside out (the veneered side faces the wall, the raw face is what you see when opening the door)

I tried removing the nails and it’s impossible. They’re very very very snug. Even punching the backplane out just breaks it and leaves the nails in place with a little piece of board around them. There isn’t enough space between the nail head and the board to slide a kitchen knife and when there is, is breaks the knive’s edge rather than moving the nail.

Very curious indeed to know what your method is.

I was responding to the idea that it's somehow patently absurd for someone to have their text messages be present on their laptop, when it's obviously not.

> Ratcliffe says this, not the ODNI.

Ratcliffe is the head of the ODNI, speaking on behalf of the ODNI.

The FBI and DoJ have also said as much now. So you're in the position of maintaining a conspiracy theory without evidence vs. all of the US intelligence agencies. Moreover, they're not making a positive claim, they're making a negative one: that there is no evidence of Russian involvement.

It's one thing to say "don't trust this until all the facts come out"--that I would agree with--but the Russian conspiracy is a positive claim and those require evidence.

I have yet to see anyone present anything other than bare speculation for that, which only proves them correct in their statements. This is rebuttable: all you have to do is give some actual, verifiable evidence of Russian involvement.

You know, like Hunter's signature on the paperwork, or the EXIF data on the photos. Why do no problems show up under ELA or similar things? Why does this match what we know from public sources about Bursima paying him a ton of money? Why can we find his picture on their website in archives?

Where is there anything like that for the Russia conspiracy? The "best" I saw was a bunch of former agents speculating in a Politico story where they admitted therein that they had no evidence whatsoever...

Well given that this assumes rational actors and humans aren't really rational, it's probably not very important in practice.
I Built the Uber for Photos SnapMob
Hello,
I built an app that enables photographers to reach customers looking to get quick and easy photos. The app is fully functioning with the ability to check into a location like Facebook or foursquare. Users can communicate with active photographers and schedule right there on the spot for photography. The new price unlock feature enables photographers to assign prices. Lastly, the sharing function gives customers the ability to think about the purchase you dont have to make the sale right away. Prospects can walk away with a link to the photos and decide to buy or decline. All images are protected with a watermark, and all sales are final! The app is powered by PayPal Braintree. If you know a photographer or are a photographer yourself, please test the app. The spooky season is a good opportunity to get photos while you are in costume.
Junk mail is responsible for a good chunk of USPS revenue
It's slightly different here in the United States. We already have medicaid if you make less than about $1400/mo it is free. I have purchased health insurance coverage through the state exchange and that is where the real fun begins.

Here you basically have to ask your insurer if they will pay for damn near everything and record the interaction ID otherwise you're getting a supprise bill which are supposedly banned.

Had to deal with this in the last week it is infuriating wasting so much time on hold or navigating through a phone tree.

We should really be making a yellow vest style movement against this just and burn the whole healthcare system down. Unless you work for a select few companies or have the medicaid it's a nightmare to deal with.

Also the problem is we don't give a damn about preventative care and nutrition so you end up with a majority overweight/obese population that you could have prevented with a fraction of the cost in preventative care.
Yes but why do you consider that bad?

It’s the same behaviour in many other languages.

Why would rebinding variables ever be a good thing?
No, and this has been covered ad nauseam here and other forums.

Facebook topics aren't privy to a shared reality, this isn’t a mystery.
You're barking up the wrong tree. I offer no solutions, I only spot plenty of problems with what lesswrong tries to sell as one.

U-3 will still be useful for answering many questions even if it becomes a lesser-used stat among politicians, because it's been tracked for much longer and because it's tracked by almost every nation. You're not going to magically squeeze U-6 numbers out of Ireland in 1952.

Examples:

"How bad is our current recession compared to the great depression for the workforce?"

"How might raising the top marginal income tax bracket to 70% affect the labor market?"

"How does relaxing strict immigration policies contribute to job loss in a nation (if at all)?"
Ask HN: How to spend tech learning budget
I'm fortunate to work for a company that grants $1500 per year on professional development budget.

Some noteworthy recommendations: Educative, O'Reilly annual subscription.
That seems to be for archive.is rather than archive.org.
I can confirm. I do that with every screw ever and I have yet to strip a thread. It’s also very satisfying for me to know I’m in the same groove and it’s usually much easier to screw the screw back in.
It’s kind of amazing in retrospect that “the markets are efficient” was a position leading up to 2008 that didn’t get you laughed out of the room.

Nowadays we know that markets aren’t perfectly efficient, 2008 was quite the instruction, and we can now have a serious discussion about degrees of efficiency and inefficiency that the markets achieve.
Which MongoDB browser or admin tool are you referring to?

I haven't seen this design in practice using MongoDB Atlas or Compass, but would hope for an "Are you really sure?" confirmation in an admin UI.
There's only like an extra 25 dB of path loss to the moon than Earth since GPS satellites are at orbits of 20,000 km. Of course the GPS antennas are probably oriented facing the Earth, but you'd still see GPS satellies on the far side (with a bit more path loss). Since GPS has a 43 dB processing gain from the modulation scheme, and thermal noise levels on the moon are similar to Earth (I think?), that means you need -150 dBm or so at the receiver. I believe newer GPS satellites have an EIRP of 50 dBm or so, so receiving GPS signals on the moon might work without even using a high gain antenna. Use of a high gain antenna would probably completely compensate for the increased path loss to the moon.
Digitalization the Future of M&A
Because then your "static" site is supported by dynamic components and now suddenly we reach the obvious conclusion of "wait, why the hell did we re-engineer everything?"

Generating static content and saving to a CDN is just a really inefficient way of caching dynamic content.
Is there a precise difference between how openjdk works where it needs a warmup to begin running performantly and how a tracing jit works?

If there a precise difference between how Ignition and Turbofan interact that is not a tracing jit? I really thought both Java and JS implementations were tracing jits. Because if I'm going to whinge about technology I don't like I want to whinge about the precise problem. :)

Yes, the original pitch was you can use components, declarative code and one way data flow and it is not slow becuase we use virtualdom.
Indeed, that is exactly what I mean. Uber is the best example of this.

"Do you think I should lose my job over the way I drove you here? If no, please rate me 5 stars."

This also now transfers to NPS surveys. I used to work at an ISP and I often take the time out to rate customer service providers as I know how important metrics can be to individual workers. A lot of companies doing NPS are now "stuffing" the rating system by telling people "Please rate us on a scale of 1 - 10 where 9 or 10 means you're happy". Yes, 9 - 10 means happy, not ecstatic, not over the moon, just happy. If you rate an 8? Well you must not be happy, what did we do wrong to deserve an 8/10?

When you know you have a job for the next n years at least, you also tend to put more effort into efficient processes. When you have to wonder every other month if you will still be there a lot will be just quick and dirty ad hoc solutions.

It is still not easy to find good people, but the truth is: HR are not the best people to decide who is. If you have good people already and they don't try to build an empire, they will select good people. The danger there is only that they will select people that are too much like themselves or they will select the worse candidate because they fear about their own standing etc.
Work results are only sensible measure for the work performance. Easy hire and fire is one solution. Also a short trial period at the start of the work agreement should show if results happen or not (fg. 4-6 months).
Right, Global Protect is great in regulated environments. You can turn on its always on functionality and devices can then be used while connected to VPN or not at all. If that setting is configured in an environment where users are connecting their personal devices, it's misconfigured, pure and simple.
Careful. The newer features of JS are generally added because they are less complicated than the features they're succeeding.

For instance, "var" may seem easier, but "const" is definitely less complicated. "var" has unintuitive edge cases with closures that "const" does not. `var` is also scoped to the nearest function rather than the nearest block, a "feature" that has tripped up many a new JS developer. `const` has none of these surprises.
Am I misreading this pricing information? They charge $250 per terabyte per month? I know I didn’t specify cost effectiveness in my list but I did at least expect everything to be within the same order of magnitude in cost.
I solved a task involving transitive closures in last year's Advent of Code using SQLite:

That would ensure also diversity of staff. Very good idea.
Your #1 and #2 links simply indicate a general assessment of several foreign entities including China, Russia, Iran and their general attitudes towards the candidates (it also indicates China, our number one threat strategically, militarily, technologically, democratically, medically, prefers Biden). No doubt they are all trying to influence the U.S. election. None of that has anything to do with the damning evidence of Hunter Biden selling access to his father for millions of dollars.

I linked to professional staffers on Twitter from Politico and Fox. They're not random contributors, they're journalists and they're quoting specific government officials.

At any rate, I know, neither journalists nor government officials have a very good reputation these days, but you asked for evidence, and I provided that, along with photo evidence of Hunter's signature on the laptop repair ticket, which matches the Paternity suit signature filed by Hunter's baby mama in Arkansas last year. It's the same RHB (Robert Hunter Biden) signature. I don't know what to tell you. Look again.

The laptop had incriminating photos of Hunter smoking crack. Those photos were published. Where else would they have come from? Also, the dates on the emails match up with Secret Service travel logs from 2014: https://www.theepochtimes.com/secret-service-travel-logs-mat...

I'm convinced Biden is corrupt, because power corrupts. That's an almost universal law of human nature. And Biden had power for 47 years. You cannot be a part of that scene for that long without corruption rubbing off on you. After a while, you start to think you're invincible. Especially if the media covers for you. Conservatives don't have that benefit. They're always under far more scrutiny than liberals, because over 90% of journalists are liberal and they don't cover Democrats the same way. They spent 3 years on a fake Russian scandal against Trump. Spent $50 million+ and wasted the nation's time based on some DNC paid for propaganda hit piece by a washed up ex-MI6 agent. And the media spent 3 years breathlessly covering every "bombshell" report only to come up with nothing.

Again, there is signatures, emails, photos, and witnesses on the Biden story and you had a made up tabloid story that dominated news coverage on Trump for THREE YEARS.
This conflating of purchasing with trusting is harmful. It's an ongoing trend I've seen with large tech companies, with arguments of the form "You accept a tiny X, therefore your rejection of the giant Y is invalid."

We buy things from companies we don't implicitly trust all the time, because we can isolate and verify those things.

I don't always trust the supermarket to sell me non-moldy produce, but I can look at the produce and see whether it's moldy.

I don't trust oil companies not to destroy the environment, but if they sell me bad fuel it will be very clear.

I don't trust OS makers, but I can run firewalls and network sniffers to verify that the OS is behaving reasonably, and isolate it when it isn't. Until I can't.
They suck at escaping local minima, for one.

Your "if" is doing a ton of work there, and this paper is quite abstract market theory. The "practical use" is to better contextualize the efficient market hypothesis.
It is an interesting question if being good at your current job helps you to advance to the next level. Should it?

I wonder how much of this is a FAANG problem only due to how much they pay entry-level jobs, and invite people trying to, effectively, win the lottery.
I see, I hadn't really looked at the CSV features. You're definitely addressing a slightly broader/different problem set. The mapipedia name, and the UI design choices, both make more sense to me with that in mind.
You should focus less on constraining yourself to arbitrary ideologies and focus more on writing good code that’s easier to maintain and understand.
Hi there! Thanks for the comments, and thank you for using Retool!

We have a product in beta that (I think) does what you're looking for: the Query Library (https://docs.retool.com/docs/query-library). This lets you run queries, save them, and share them across your company. LMK if that's what you're looking for?

(In the future, we will be adding more permissions, etc. to it. We are actively developing this right now and would love to get some feedback from you on it if you'd be open to it? I will have our engineer email you!)
Yeah. A problem Safari's developers should address. Apple is not a wee baby company that lacks the resources to keep up with Chrome in any dimension.
I'm curious now if electricfence could be configured to detect mmap faults, since it's described as using the virtual memory hardware for malloc debugging. I haven't used -lefence since well before I learned about Valgrind though.
React and web components are different tools trying to solve different problems.

Web components are primarily about trying to add new virtual HTML tags to "extend the platform".

React and other frameworks are about trying to build interactive applications that require larger-scale UI management, efficiently, on top of the DOM, by defining pieces of that UI as a tree of reusable components (and using techniques that web components don't have available to them).

If I want to add a color picker to an otherwise static HTML page, I might use a color picker web component.

If I want to build a meaningful-sized app, I'd reach for React.
What is taught in school is generally a simplification of the truth. However just because that is the case doesn't mean that the "answers still aren't clear now" -- it's just the reality of the limits of the education system (if you tried to explain every topic correctly from first principles you would never get past Newtonian mechanics).

The reason why AC is taught as being "more efficient" is that if you use AC you can easily use a transformer to increase the voltage (decrease the current) of the electricity being transported. That makes the transport more efficient because of I²R power losses. The reason why AC is "easier" to transform is because the classical transformer (two coils of wire and a laminated iron core -- no moving parts and incredibly efficient) requires AC input. Most power grids do use AC because this makes the grid much simpler to produce and

However the part that is missing from high-school education is that AC travelling down power lines at the same voltage as DC is less efficient and more expensive per kilometre. There are many reasons for this -- but the main ones are that the skin effect means AC current only travels on the outer parts of a wire causing higher current density and thus higher losses, the generation of RF interference, and the fact that AC lines have to transport reactive power (AC current reverses direction every half-cycle which essentially means more power loss).

So the most efficient transport mechanism for long distances is to generate AC, transform it up to a high voltage, and then rectify it to DC for the actual transport (and reverse the procedure on the other side). However the rectification procedure requires expensive equipment, which is why HVDC transport is only used for long-distance power transportation.

Google uses a ton of AI because they have a ton of data that’s easily categorized and has clear success criteria. Without those things, it’s doubtful that AI would’ve done Jack squat for google.
I don't think this is quite fair. Of course a machine learning model doesn't work on things it wasn't trained for. Computer vision is not more accurate than human vision in every possible field. And are you really sure humans have no trouble identifying people wearing masks? Lots of people look pretty similar, especially if all you can see is their face.

I am a little confused by this article. Since real 3d objects are used why not use ray tracing (ray surface intersection)?

As far as I know raymarching shines for scenes without real 3d objects. Rays are marched because a function determines if something should be rendered at some point along the way.

But still a useful article with a lot of good info.
The report, while a fun thought exercise for any aspiring academic, is not a novel insight, and is obviously untrue for most definitions of market efficiency.

If we are going to play the academic one-upmanship game, a more general result that "best" or "multiple" N-player Nash Equilibria for N > 2 is already NP-hard. The implication of an efficient market would be if every player had a polynomial-time algorithm to solve the NP-hard problem, ergo P=NP.

This problem doesn't exist at all in a world where chromium is the only browser, because there is no other party to get it wrong. Note that this is a problem with safari mishandling something, not chrome. That doesn't mean a single browser world is better. Just this particular instance if anything is a point in the pro column for browser monoculture.
