Poonia’s videos take on various claims that WhiteHat Jr has made. For instance, WHJ advertises a certain child called ‘Wolf Gupta’, who, after learning to code with the firm, got a job at Google that pays in crores. Poonia points out in his video that Wolf Gupta’s age keeps changing across advertisements, from nine to 14, as does his salary package—from Rs1.2 crore to Rs20 crore to Rs150 crore.

They're A/B testing any numbers/variables they can find?? Give someone a hammer and everything looks like a nail I guess.

Thanks! A few sites that I've found really helpful in building this include:

- Hacking With Swift (https://www.hackingwithswift.com/)

- Swift by Sundell (https://www.swiftbysundell.com/)

- Swift with Majid (https://swiftwithmajid.com/)

- The SwiftUI Lab (https://swiftui-lab.com/)

- The Lost Moa blog (https://lostmoa.com/blog)

The community has been great, too — there are countless other little blog posts, tweets, and conversations that have helped me get this off the ground. :)
The interesting thing about electronics is that the Dutch ASML company is basically have monopoly on producing the machines that silicon fabs use to produce chips. So everyone indirectly depends on the EU for hardware production.
Well aware, but no one tool should have multiple responsibilities.

Chef is primarily a configuration management tool and I keep that separate from a distinctly provisioning tool like Terraform. Terraform is declarative rather than procedural like Chef and that's far preferred when trying to define what you have. Terraform & Ansible don't require me to run a master server or have agents on every machine either.

Use tools where they're strongest.

We used to use Chef years ago and replaced it with Ansible and Terraform and have zero regrets at 10^4 nodes. We also use Terraform for managing CloudFlare and all sorts of other providers. It has been a dream.

Ansible does less and less work as time goes on for us and as we've moved to semi-immutable infrastructure. If we need to change something about a system, we'd rather replace it.

Tech is nice because it's tedious and can be difficult and for rich high status people, an easier quicker way to more guaranteed status is Medicine or Law.

Your summary is both a good point and a little chilling.

I've always wondered in Capitalism how this concept of a JOB for people to have a living wage is sustainable in modern times. Much less for people to innovate and thrive.
I doubt if anything made changed since the era of gold, just sizes of economies went up dramatically, more common people are banked, and there are more option to do bank run against.

Gold [https://goldprice.org/charts/history/gold_6_month_o_usd_x.pn...] is of course one of them, but costs of many other liquid commodities have shot up counterintuitively this time as well.

There is nothing "magical" that has happened to banks when they switched to fiat money.
This is probably one of the few communities where you could actually have a somewhat objective discussion of this.
I responded on topic to the OP with a single data point supporting their position. I expressed my willingness to toil away as a low status person (perpetual motion chaser) that has zero expectation of success amongst rational people.

I don’t understand why you decided that needed to be followed up with a personal attack.

Basically: making charged particles change direction causes them to emit radiation, and the more they turn the more they radiate. This gets worse and worse at higher energies, so increasing the magnets but keeping the same angle means you waste more energy and your magnets get destroyed by the intense radiation.

I think the way he said it is a bit weird (and definitely nobody would think of e^x and exp(x) ss being two different things). But I would agree that it's probably best to define e^x through its power series, especially because it directly generalises to complex arguments. (Another good definition is as the function f whose derivative equals itself, and which satisfies f(0)=1, but that's not very constructive.)

Of course, you can also go another route: you can define the number e (e.g. as the limit of (1+1/n)^n), then you can straightforwardly define natural number powers of e by repeated multiplication, then integer and rational powers through reciprocals and roots (you have to prove n-th roots exist, but that's doable), and then you can define real number exponents via limits (maybe this is what you mean by "interpolating recursively"). Now, when we come to complex numbers, you can use Euler's formula as a definition instead of a theorem, and define exp(a+bi):=e^a * (cos b + i sin b). Of course, at the end of this whole exercise you can prove that this definition is exactly equal to the power series definition.

Another benefit of the power series definition is that it also generalises e.g. to the matrix exponential (exp(A), when A is a matrix).
That's trying to elevate a task to significance. That seems more an unwillingness to let the insignificant remain insignificant.
FTL alone is already at “one big lie” stage, it’s got plenty of other issues with established physics and arguably worse with consistency. Personally I would argue for rank 1, but I am somewhat of a curmudgeon about this stuff.
A few points.

It's not just benefits that employees receive, it's also taxes paid on employees. Moving benefits out of employment is a good idea, but if that happened, the taxes to fund these services would come from employers again. So Uber would still be more or less leeching off of society by not paying its share of social funds

Secondly, the discussion of hours, while potentially having some philosophical merit, isn't especially material in the scheme of things. Uber can't survive with everyone driving fewer than x hours. A lot of their comp structure tries to incentive people to drive as much as possible, with nonlinear increasing rewards for those who drive the most. Their business is built on network effects. If there's fewer drivers, then it costs more, so fewer people ride, so fewer people want to drive, and the more expensive it is the keep the driver population thriving. The idea behind surge pricing is that you create flash incentives to get drivers out there when demand is high. If there's a cap on hours, you've now got a competing interest which says there's an incentive to NOT work while the market isn't surging- because you might cost yourself greater earnings down the line.

It's a lot easier to get a driver doing 5 hours to do 8 hours instead, than it is to get two drivers to do 4 hours. Labor has switching costs for the drivers.
Hi all, this is my turbine build process, based on Ed Lenz's design. Thanks for the attention and input.

Indeed. My dynamically allocated public IPv4 address, given to me by my cable company, has been the same for as long as I've lived here, over four years now.

Ironically, my IPv6 prefix can change several times a day...
I’m afraid no one would define any of my attempts so far as pretty except to call them pretty bad! That’s actually a great idea though, I could probably reduce the money sink a bit by trying to them some of my projects into art work. Thanks for sharing that idea!
It's striking just how few billionaires come from genuinely low-status backgrounds. Gates, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, Buffet, and so on were not born dirt poor.

And those that do invariably either had a scene they could grow into - like Steve Jobs orbiting around HP and landing at Atari in his earliest days, which wouldn't have happened if he'd been living in (say) Idaho.

Or they have some questionable connections and history - Russian oligarchs being the ideal examples, although there are others.
> You forgot one benefit of masks. They act as a persistent, physical reminder to socially distance.

Forcing people to remind everyone around them to socially isolate, even if they disagree with that, is not a benefit.

> The presence of Covid is an infringement on my freedom of movement.

Are you particularly at risk or just a coward?

> I'm happy to try something that might work, if it may help me get that freedom back, particularly if there are no major downsides.

You are willing to force everyone else to wear masks and socially isolate to get your own freedom back. No wonder you don't see any major downsides.
Yes, browsers other than Chrome can generate keys, submit the public key to a site you're logged into and install the certificate you get in response (usually after a second factor verification). I am not aware of any site that still does this, so I can't show it to you. Skandiabanken in Norway used to do it before Chrome.

You won't be able to see this in Firefox in any way other than visiting such a site.
These companies might be able to continue operations running on fumes, but I'm not sure how new teams can be formed and new staff onboarded with zero human contact or office interaction.

What would make more sense is simply to move the office to the Midwest, and interact with other branches or businesses remotely.

This would seem to give the best of both worlds - cheaper cost of living, and physical interaction.
In 2016, Hossenfelder offered to act as a physics consultant on her blog—US$50 for twenty minutes of discussion—and had to recruit five extra physicists to deal with the demand.[30][31
My two cents, Using OpenAPI enables in going API first. The stakeholders agreeing on an API is perhaps one of the most important things in lifecycle of the product and rest of the things really just snowballs from there. Also, an API that changes frequently is perhaps not a good sign, it will hurt the clients, new version of the API is different thing though.
Zamindar (landlord): British era
Seems like a writeup of some digital nomad living there right now, desiring to feel good about helping local economy. Not saying it isn't completely the case but you have some serious pink glasses on.

The money from tourism goes to elite few locals who own most of it, and it eventually slightly trickles down the rest of folks living there, the income disparity is on a level we simply don't see in the west. You won't see those folks since they still live in their tiny hut far from busy tourist centres of the south.

The idea of good western tourist money lifting equally everybody out of poverty is seriously naive, in any undeveloped country. Plus OP mentioned additional load on underfunded medical services.

> Honestly I would expect it to remain at more than 34%. Who would want to go back to daily commutes of >1h?

I think it's quite a personal thing. I can't wait to be back in an office; I really need to be around people. The last eight months has been a miserable experience.

Mind you, my commute in the before-times was a 15 minute walk.
> full-scale invasion of the U.S.

I don't think that's realistic nor has it been the goal of Soviet military doctrine, more likely targets for the Ekranoplan would have been Western Europe and Scandinavia (via the Baltic Sea), Turkey (Black Sea) and Iran (Caspian Sea).
The reason MS didn't have to do this stuff in the last decade or 2 is because it has already killed all its opponents.

Name another big desktop app vendor will hundreds of millions of seats. Name another industry-leading groupware system.

The last big dominant rival MS took down was Nokia's phones operation, but it mainly succeeded there because Google and Apple accidentally helped: Evidence: MS doesn't make phones any more. It derailed the #1 smartphone vendor's own OS efforts and planted an MS exec in charge so that vendor used exclusively MS phone OSes, but it wasn't good enough. The OS failed and the vendor left the market.

Apple is in a different market. Apple sells hardware. Its OSes are free. It also makes a cut on content for those devices.

Character attacks? Have you bothered to read any of the links I have supplied to support my argument?
Also: I had Russian keyboard layout when I opened the link, and nothing at all worked. Switching to English fixed it. You should be using key codes, not characters, unless you're accepting text input. Key codes correspond to physical keys on the keyboard, but characters they type don't necessarily.

It is a quite sad situation when the skill required to write a smallest publishable unit for the publication mill compares favorably to other writing skills. Wasting the time of the competition in the publishing rat race is actually incentivized now...
But you do not develop a new weapons system just to run a speculative planning exercise. If this was not just a military-industrial complex boondoggle - which I suspect it was - I imagine there were some somewhat realistic plans around what it might actually be useful for.
Shutting down schools but keeping airlines open shows an even more warped sense of priority.
I would be surprised if it did violate GDPR. Which bit of your personal information was acquired, traded, or otherwise disclosed improperly?
If I'm not mistaken the NZ killer was on 8chan?

It's the same argument with serial killer movies (at the risk of showing my age there was a strong controversy with "Natural Born Killers" at the time): you don't kill people because you chatted on the internet or watched a movie.

You kill people because you had it in you. The things you were exposed before might color your act but that's it.
FWIW we have onboarded several people since March without any in person contact. There haven't been any major problems.

> This isn’t to say that startup disparities are caused by personal anxiety (I personally believe the structural narrative more in that case).

I would say, it is not one or the other. If almost everyone of the same gender has the same fear, is it then a personal one? Isn't it reasonable to assume it to be the result of structural/cultural causes? Isn't that a problem by itself which is worthwhile to address regardless if the fear is founded or not.

Sure, we should try to overcome our fears if they limit us, but I would claim, as a society we would be better of, if there wouldn't be a need in the first place.

And yes, that applies to both genders, it just happens to be if we talk about career topics, it is usually one gender, that gets the short stick.

If we look at emotional problems (suicide, crimes) it is the other.
I suspect the answer is completely obvious to religious people and batshit insane to everyone else.
>Gosh, I'm conflicted. I upvoted the submission for the interesting HN comments that are likely to appear based on it but also so, so, soooo didn't want to upvote a Krebs article and give him the Ads revenue from the page views.

In that case, you'll be glad to know that I use ad/tracking blockers, so even when I read the article, he won't get any ad revenue from me.

And I imagine that many folks around here do the same.

In my case, it's isn't because I have a problem with Brian Krebs, rather it's because I despise advertising and go to great lengths (sometimes at my own expense) to avoid it.
The problem is, the industry favors overcomplicating developers, because there's more of them, over those who actually have a clue what their code is doing.
I'm low-status. I work on stuff that may never payoff. I will never be successful, and that's ok. I was even told by a manager in my 1-on-1 that not everyone has the potential to be more than a midlevel dev.

Also, this low-staus thing is not a great predictor. The hard work that is mentioned is prevalent in many of the studies looking at success. Of course this is part of a matrix of qualities.
Yet, it's fast. Browsers will always be optimised for the most common JS functions, which even today are nothing else, but showing very basic jQuery based interactive pages.
I feel the bitterness as well (31 here). A few observations/tips (that I gave myself):

* I've noticed many don't appreciate the bitterness as the bitterness needs to align with their beliefs and people their beliefs are different. If it doesn't align, then all they feel are unpleasant emotions.

* Being/feeling bitter is destroying my soul. Don't give into it, I know you have your justifications. I have mine, but ultimately it's a one way ticket to depression land and it's not a fun place.

* Get rich on aspects that people don't pay attention to (aka how I also happen to win resource-based boardgames). Some examples are here [1].

* Keep networking

* Keep improving

* While showing bitterness is a risky thing, showing that you're looking for work is a good thing. Showing side projects is a good thing. Anything that looks constructive and positive in the area of where your needs aren't being met is a good thing. So focus on applying, focus on building stuff.

* I know it's tiring, but what I'm experiencing is that now that I'm working at a company that the job is easy, because web dev is relatively easy compared to what I did at uni.

Good luck, I hope that one day you'll be happy again.

[1] Examples of getting rich on aspects that people don't pay attention to (e.g. when going for a job that has bad pay):

- Flexible working hours

- Ability to work 4 days per week

- Amazing opportunity to learn

- Flexibility to work from wherever

- The flexibility to not always work at 100%

Examples for if you aren't working (and can't find a job):

- Freedom to work on whatever

- Freedom to network with whomever

- The freedom to work at a nice pace
This doesn't seem quite right to me. $35k seems like a big overestimate, outside of very high CoL areas or the richer private institutions. Top-ranked public institutions will offer more like $20-25k because they can get away with it due to prestige. Lower ranked schools seemingly have to offer more to try to attract students.
The UK Government can't decide directly how the law is applied - that is up to the courts. Getting a decision like this is a way for laws to be clarified since it sets a precedent around how the law should be interpreted.

The "third party" here is a not-for-profit seeking to challenge injustice for the sake of the public good. HMRC failing to apply the law fairly is definitely an issue that affects the public and if it takes a third party like this to represent the people where the state has failed, more power to them!

For VAT there are time-limits for corrections. I believe it's 4 years for a mistake and 20 years where there are "deliberate inaccuracies". Both seem like very sensible timelines in relation to business risk. If you're at the edge of the law, you're going to carry a lot more risk so it might be worth following the spirit, not just the letter, of the law.

It is fair to say that this is a complex case though. It's unclear whether Uber truly is a platform or a service just as it's unclear whether its "staff" are contractors or employees. I think it's right that these definitions are grappled with by civil society. Where else should disagreements about these definitions take place if not in open court?
Your comment is misleading: Telegram is open source (Desktop, iOS, Android), but the server isn't. It would certainly be nice to run your own Telegram server, sure.

IMHO the only good argument against Telegram is that direct messages don't use end-to-end encryption by default.
Who are the notable GCP tenants? Just curious.

Tbh, the only reason I use GCP is Firebase, and the only reason I use Firebase is because it's usable for my (limited) purposes in a neat format. I'm currently in the process of migrating some functions to AWS, but it's so clunky, almost 2005-esque.
The best antidote for bad ideas and conspiracy theories is transparency and public debate.

This move will serve to push these movements underground to Tor or other uncensorable networks where they're even harder to monitor. It also sends a message to them that they're on to something (because if the QAnon conspiracy was real, the "deep state" would indeed try to snuff it out).

I feel like this is such a bad precedent and will not end well. It will embolden the crazies. It's also not clear where this is supposed to end?

Flat earthers? 9/11 truthers? Who's next?

> but according to anecdotes I've heard, it's due partly to even longer working hours at home.

Yeah, personally I'm definitely working longer hours, though I'm pretty sure I'm less productive per hour, due to the psychological effects (I pretty much constantly feel awful).
Her main point is that from physics perspective there are better ways to use money. Whatever success and failures in projects, we should keep throwing money into places that are more likely solve important physical questions.

Any argument that sidesteps that is nonsense. If goal of investing in fundamental physics is not R&D it's just a side effect as I assume.

If I read your argument correctly it's "We can't give argument that this is the best way spend money if you want to solve these problems, but it will generate other side benefits that may help indirectly". It's honest argument if put that way.
Two questions: 1 - how are you converting the energy into electricity? The materials don't seem to mention that piece.

2 - How do you convert variable energy like wind into something stable and usable? IE: how do I hook this input into a household power system?

Edit: Ah, there are some answers to these questions at the bottom- I missed that part.,
My understanding is that is true of Electrons, but not Protons, which is why SLAC is a straight line, the only way to get electrons up to high energies.
