If you only think in bits, each extra bit you allow doubles the number of represetable combinations. Eg one bit allows for two values to be represented: on/off, true/false, yes/no, light/dark...

Now if you have more than two states you want to encode you need at least one additional bit. Eg two bits allow for four different states (00,01,10,11). But that way (adding a bit, or highler level a field in a struct/tuple) your numbr of possible states grow exponentially.

What if you have exactly 3 states you want to represent (eg small/medium/largem, up/down/mute or x/y/z) or 6 (not a power of two) states? The way you encode the states by combining bits you allow for more states to be encoded than are actually valid. So you allow invalid states. Eg for ["00"~small, "01"~medium, "10"~large] you can not decode "11".

The way combining bits works can be though of as product data types. The number of possible combinations get multiplied when composing data types.

Now sum types enable you to define number of states which are not-power-of-two by summing the possible combinations when composing.

Algebraic data types combine product and sum types so you can define set of encodable states as the exact number of actual valid sates you want your system to have.

This is so true. Similar is the case with professional social networking platforms like Linkedin. Back when I was in school, I could be content with being the topper of my class. But now, seeing all these people with similar background, doing better than me makes me so envious. Sometimes, I think to leave these platforms, but then these platoforms have been useful to me in keeping up to date with my field and in job hunting.
Not everyone. Give me WPF/WinUI/Android Views and I am good to go.
Even a properly designed digital system will have flaws and if it is on a network it can be hacked at scale. Hacking paper ballots cannot be achieved at the scale necessary to sway a national election.

Its similar to a story I read a while ago about flooding a lottery system with enough combinations of numbers to near guarantee some level of profit. The scale needed to fill out, submit, track, etc. 10's of thousands of tickets was ridiculous.

There is no need to speed up the election process. If any human effort is to be spent, it should go towards rolling back the perceived need for constant updates. Its unhealthy.

Not only is it textbook fair use, this is exactly why copyright law has a fair use exemption. It does not exist for you to selectively manipulate the public commons by removing only negative reviews that happened to use small snippets of the original material. This is why reviews are protected.

The DMCA is a bit broken this way; in theory it's balanced by the ability for these people to counternotice but in practice that's taking on an absurd amount of liability on a consumer to do so, so only a very foolhardy consumer would ever do it and it may as well not exist.
How much iron is wasted in the process? I’m pretty sure they are not able to recycle 100% of the oxide and there must be some material losses.

> Owing debt with property as collateral will be financially ruining for most of the middle class.

What's the mechanism you're thinking will cause this? Based on what you've said, I can imagine you're thinking either a crash in property values that leaves people underwater on their debt or widespread property damage by people that have 'stopped respecting property law'.

Regarding theft/violence/vandalism, it can happen just as easily to a home you rent as to a home you "own". Regarding property value declines, any decline that's financially ruinous is going to ruin _someone_, and the debate then becomes who's left holding the bag when it happens and how that negative impact propagates outward through the broader economy.

(But I'd be interested to hear more of your point of view.)
Old Reddit only 8 points better: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=...

That would be a question for the Edge and .NET team, but unfortunately that does not seem to be an option. The IL Linker (tree shaking) is removing unused parts of the binaries for the purpose of removing very large portions of code in the final binary. If binaries were to be bundled, or CDN hosted, we'd end up downloading extremely large unnecessary portions of code.

Yet, this simple fact that a WebAssembly app needs to download everything its needing to run puts it at disadvantage with Javascript (you download a browser with all the base libraries only once, and that's not lightweight).

For now, WebAssembly apps (in general and not just .NET ones) are more similar to mobile apps than websites, just because of this significant difference.

One of the first things I made in python, over a decade ago, was a web scraper hooked up with an OCR-software suite to harvest a lot of data on the web. I imagine that's sort of a proto-version of some of the kinds of machine vision tasks that are done with it today.
I am saying that mammalian research models have predictive power, and that shifting to a fully corn based diet without any of the livestock based foods we'd raise on corn could have unintended side effects. Not everything happens as a first order outcome.

Every creature in the logistical food chain is performing different nutrient accumulations for the next one in the chain. If you think about bioaccumulation as a mechanism, that research should have you realizimg that "You are what you eat" has a terrifyingly poignant meaning, in the sense that if we end up seeing a smaller creature fed on a single having potential in the wild population management problems, the same thing could happen to us. By the time we realized what was going on, the damage to the ecosystem could realistically already be done.

My bet is guerilla mail was pursued for fraud/terrorism/drug charges, it's not a stretch to guess how an anonymous email service is used by some users.

Looking at guerilla mail, there is no way to contact them and no information about who runs the service. It's a shady company with no legal information as far as anyone can tell. (nothing in the about us or the terms or service pages).

If the police wanted to investigate some users/mails, they would have to get a warrant to OVH to figure out who to contact in the first place (who runs that thing?). It's a fair guess that OVH receiving anything of that sort would shutdown the account immediately.

It's also possible that the police would purposefully shutdown the service and/or seize the servers but rather unlikely. Either way, all the roads lead to the site being dead.
Encrypt it!

If that's difficult just put your sensitive family business in a PFD, password it and then attach it. The password doesn't have to be tight (you're not planning to the keep the NSA out) so you can even send clues in the email that the recipient already knows, such as your cat's name + mother's middle name, etc.

Yahoo et al haven't got the time to bother trying to decrypt millions of messages in this format.

I've used this method for years on these crappy services (and I've even used it on Yahoo in the past).

In the meantime do everything you can to avoid so-called free services such as Yahoo.

> a significant number of Americans lie on polls because they're ashamed of voting for Donald Trump

That has been addressed before, and it had seemed unlikely—there are races where more "normal" Republicans on the ballot (for house or senate races) were polling worse than Trump. So it might be that they're ashamed to vote for Trump, but why would they be ashamed—let alone even more ashamed—to vote for a normal Republican?
Very true. If these idiots wanted to actually compete, they could do some real racing. The only problem would be that they would quickly see that doing well in racing is much harder than doing Cannonball where the only skill you need is to be more reckless than others.

There are plenty of options for racing for very taste , be it Rallye, open wheelers, karting, 24 hours races.

This feels to me like guys thinking they are tough because they beat up people on the streets. Only to find out that when they go a real MMA or boxing that they get destroyed easily by fighters who actually have skills.
Was going to say the same thing. Considering total amount of running code, yeah C might be #1 but there's no way it's the most "popular".
I'm actually surprised by this sentiment whenever I see it. Node still hasn't caught up in coverage. It feels like the Node community is really proud of their number of packages, which, given the likely median size of each package, is a poor proxy for actual stability and completeness.
"Mom emergencies" aren't always first responder type emergencies. They could be family emergencies she needs to communicate with you about, or (if my mom is any indication) her being in a time-sensitive situation where she needs to rely on your expertise for something.

Or many, many "mom emergencies" that are not emergencies at all, but that she feels are.

If you're using an iPhone, you can change the Ringtone and Vibration settings for individual contacts. The setting is called Emergency Bypass[1], and it's at the very top when you enter the ringtone/vibration selection screens when editing a contact. It'll bypass both Do Not Disturb mode as well as Silent Mode. I wouldn't recommend using it for the ringtone because then literally every text/call will always ring, but turning it on for vibration may reassure your mom that she can reach you when she's in need.

I'm notorious for putting my phone on silent temporarily and accidentally leaving it like that for days at a time, and I ended up doing that for my mother. She knows how much my phone drives me crazy, and when I let her know I did that for her, her reaction told me it was more meaningful to her than pretty much any bday or Mother's Day gift I've ever given her.

I very quickly turned it off for the ringtone, because the novelty of it made initially overwhelm me with a constant stream of random messages and calls (which subsided after a while). But left it on for vibrate. Although I haven't mentioned that update to her...

> I really don't want to turn this into a flamewar,

Totally agree, so let me clarify my position here.

I'm not defending the idiotic things Trump and certain Trump supporters say.

I didn't want Trump either and I think I started soon after last election (on another account) to say that I was afraid we would get more of this if the rest of the politicians didn't wake up for how massively unpopular they are in certain circles.

Yet here we are.

Yes, a lot of people love Trump. But very many hold their noses and vote for him despite thinking of him as a constant embarrassment.

Why?

My theories:

- BLM has been campaigning relentlessly for Trump - despite their intentions. Just think straight through this example: Your local shop get looted or someone you know loses their job or their house because of this. Will this increase the chance that you vote for the party who doesn't condemn these guys? Or the other party?

- Mainstream media, who doesn't care at all about you, even ridicule you as rednecks, will you vote for or against the candidate that they try to push.

- Will you want to support the party who has still not apologized for their "basket of deplorables" comment?

- They band up with none other than Lady Gaga, produces a video perfect for angering these people at release it a day or so before election day!

- Even a huge number of black people went to Trump this year. Guess why? No respect for them either!

So no, I don't like Trump. I don't defend his more idiotic ideas.

But I do think Democrats and many HNers have a lot to learn before they understand why Trump is so popular despite his truckload of flaws.

And no, it is not that everyone who voted for Trump is dumb racists.

How to Deliver Digital Customer Experiences on Black Friday

Wow, I just went ahead and read the exchange from the links you just posted. It really did seem like they were trying to force the repo into compliance knowing they couldn't file a proper DMCA takedown to GitHub, under the guise of collaboration. I understand the need for open source funding, I really do. But getting in cahoots with the music industry, which is well known for how corrupt and draconian in its enforcement is and basically arguing (or rather dodging the issue again and again) that no other licensing models on the same platform can coexist, may not be the right way, even if they claim that the people who take issue with such approach are "less than 50" because in the end, they can simply change the terms at any moment and leave you in the dust.

Choosing the right analytics destination to work with your CDP
>A September 2017 study by the Federal Reserve reported that the top 1% owned 38.5% of the country's wealth in 2016. According to a June 2017 report by the Boston Consulting Group, around 70% of the nation's wealth will be in the hands of millionaires and billionaires by 2021.

If we hit over 50% as predicted (and the last 12 months have been very beneficial to the upper classes), no, the middle class doesn't have the majority of the money.

>CBO Chart, U.S. Holdings of Family Wealth 1989 to 2013. The top 10% of families held 76% of the wealth in 2013, while the bottom 50% of families held 1%. Inequality worsened from 1989 to 2013.[1]

> "But if you are trying to heat your house to a livable temperature while it’s -20 outside, your efficiency is terrible."

Heat pumps are designed so that their "efficiency" (performance) is never less than 100% (COP >= 1). In very cold conditions, they may not be more efficient than resistive electric heating, but they will never be worse.

> "places up north where you do spend quite a bit on heating cannot really take advantage of heat pumps due to winters being too cold."

You're talking about air-source heat pumps here. In colder regions, it's better to use ground source/geothermal heat pumps. Ground temperature is consistent year-round even in very cold climates.

I have tried these hacks and they simply do not work. They might for a few days, but afterwards you get used to them. For me greatest realisation was, if I do not want to work or do not have something to work, I will waste time. I can throw out my mobile, but then I will find new ways to wasting time -- surfing random websites on laptop, watching TV, talking to random people, etc. The only solution for this is to assign some work to yourself everyday and have some sort of negative consequences if you are not able to complete that work.

> And of course... the forecast modelers know this. Which is what Gelman discusses in his post. Given that they now have 2016, and 2020 as examples of presidential polling errors, modelers need to shift their priors in a number of ways to account for what looks like a persistent undersampling of GOP voters.

In the article, he mentions the simplest and probably most correct way to do this: reduce the confidence these models have in the accuracy of the polling. The top line number he threw out as feeling "good" about was 75% for a Biden win.

As it is, it's becoming difficult to find any value in these models because the events they represent as outliers seem to be consistently occurring. On the other hand, if they adjust to more accurately reflect the uncertainty in the the polls, eventually everything starts looking close to a coin toss - in which case they have no practical value, either.

The changes between the French and American posters for 'Cuties' [1] seem like a pretty obvious attempt to manufacture controversy under the "no such thing as bad publicity" approach to marketing. And it's worked, in a sense: It wouldn't be on the front page of HN otherwise.

If Netflix have got more controversy than they intended to, this seems like a pretty clear case of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Quillette is absolutely socially conservative. Just looking today -- their posts are all about disparaging Black Lives Matter, social justice, "gender ideology," and "cancel culture." Flipping through Archive old front pages, it's all more of the same -- "cancel culture" again and again, sneering at the notion of systemic racism, at pronouns, etc.

The term "intellectual dark web" merely means "disagreeing with liberals." I'm not sure how else you'd describe this beyond "socially conservative" -- it's the exact same stuff that Fox talking heads rail against day in and day out.
Oh man, I fell down that rabbithole the other day and they are fantastic.

Any service of any importance should be run on hardware you own.

There should be nothing even slightly surprising about this. OVH is a shitty company that will let anyone do anything they want until enough complaints are made. They don't communicate.

Guerrilla Mail should colocate some servers and/or find a company that is small enough to have humans with whom they can actually communicate.

IIRC Silver got the same criticisms just before the 2016 election, too—that the only reason 538 didn't have Clinton's odds in the upper 90s, and had Clinton losing Florida, were to drum up interest and attention at the end of the race.
