You don't.

My gut agrees with this statement.

Technically, if a SAR was filed, even the engineer he spoke to would not have known. Every training I've ever taken in that field basically says you don't tell anyone but your company's team that you filed such a report. Not a coworker, not even a Manager.
And that's why GitHub isn't open source! :)
Millets. And lentils. Calorie and nutrient dense.
It's perhaps worth noting that this substantially misrepresents the Prop 19 to make it's case:

Prop 19 is not a simple “property tax reduction”; it increases the scope of allowed basis value transfers for the elderly and disabled for principal residences but terminates inheritance of basis value (forcing full value assessment) where an inherited property isn't used as a primary residence and also increases the assessed value of inherited properties otherwise subject to basis value transfer (i.e., used as primary residence) when the actual market value is over $1,000,000 more than the basis value. It is overall a property tax increase, not a decrease, and was promoted as a revenue source.

Also, he misrepresents the opposition to Prop 21 as opposition to rent control, even though the argument against Prop 21 included (and this was Gov. newsome’s position) that the new local rent control powers it created were unnecessary because the state had just adopted statewide rent control and the i itiaitve undermined the statewide policy.

> The election seems to be heading to a never-Trumper Republican's dream: Biden wins by about 1 electoral vote. Trump rides into the sunset. (Starts a new show on Fox?) The Senate stays Republican

Never-Trumper Republicans have mostly been arguing that in this election, Democrats should be preferred for federal office generally, not advocating ticket-splitting, so I don't think that's true.
> Since Florida went incredibly strongly Trump, we can say with certainty he was completely wrong on the 10% chance.

The model generated 40k scenarios, and the scenario you're describing is one of them. The most extreme scenarios have Trump winning all swing states by a few %, which doesn't look likely. So what's playing out is not wildly outside the predictions by any means.

In other words, if a 10% chance happens, it doesn't mean the 10% prediction was wrong.

The only way to prove a prediction was wrong is to bet against it over time with your own predictions. As Silver has shown there's a huge appetite for election / sports predictions. Anyone able to beat him over time would have enormous income potential.

For example, if you thought Trump had at least a 40% chance to win, you'd have a great betting opportunity in the market that had Trump in the 25-33% range. You could have bought in then and sold when Trump's chance peaked at about 50-60%. If you arbitrage those mistakes you've identified in the market, overtime you could become very wealthy.

Until then, it's just pundits pontificating after the results are known without putting any money or reputation on the line beforehand, similar to a casual sports fan late in the 4th quarter: "of course the 49ers were going to blow their lead -- I just knew it!"
As to how they get the numbers, this is TIOBE's methodology: [1]

Since there are many questions about the way the TIOBE index
is assembled, a special page is devoted to its
definition. Basically the calculation comes down to counting
hits for the search query

+"<language> programming"

In the next few sections it is explained what search engines
qualify, what programming languages qualify and how the
ratings are exactly calculated.

Search Engines

There are 25 search engines that are used to calculate the
TIOBE index. The selected search engines are the 25 highest
ranked websites of Alexa that meet the following conditions:

The entry page of the site contains a search facility
The result of querying the site contains an indication of the number of page hits
The results should be available in HTML with clear tags
Search engines in languages with special characters should be encoded properly
The search engine should at least return 1 hit for 1 query
The results of querying the site shouldn't contain too many outliers
Porn sites are excluded

Too many here suggest fighting back which is completely irresponsible. Bullying is mostly done by groups and you can't effectively fight more than 2 opponents even with proper training. Also, bullies always escalate, so for every punch you throw you'll receive it back with a bonus kick. Going guerilla will lead to assymmetrical retaliation.

Not even mentioning potential problems with school authorities or the law (if you're effective).

There's a persistent image of 'bad neighbourhoods' in the US. Will you suggest fighting back there too? Schools are like that but you can't move away.

Agreed that selling is the hardest part. But it is hard to do 1 without the others.
> I get what you're saying, and I agree—but then, what is to be done? 538 doesn't do polls themselves, they just aggregate them. If the polls are incorrect, what do you replace them with? And how do you make that scientific?

The most straightforward way to adjust these models, that Gelman mentions himself, is to just assume more uncertainty in the polls and assign wider uncertainty intervals to the models' final projections. It doesn't "fix" the polls but it acknowledges that they aren't as predictive as previously assumed.

One of the comments suggests integrating betting market data in some way, which seems to make some intuitive sense based on how well they have performed relative to polls.
Technology creeps up; Internet, smartphones, digital banking, cheap plane tickets, refrigerated transport trucks, GPS, drone photography, glass top stoves, electric bicycles, cheap DSLR cameras, LEDs, heated car seats, stretch denim, programmable home thermostats, carbon fiber bicycles, cheap programmable gardening water systems, better indoor hydroponics, electric cars, cordless power drill, etc...

The 10nm delay is of course legendary at this point, but 14nm was itself also about a year behind schedule. In early 2013 Intel stated Broadwell 14nm would be out that year. It didn't come out until Q4 2014. And Intel's Fab 42, which was originally scheduled to open in 2013 as their first 14nm fab, only just opened this year. Intel ended up needing to re-fit existing fabs to be 14nm instead.

So before they faceplanted with 10nm Intel first stumbled with 14nm. 2 generations in a row of issues.

Why? I was just trying to get something done that I've done in a variety of different languages already so there's a perfect comparison.

I don't know how you manage to come to Hacker News often enough to find exactly my post to answer to but at the same time managed to have never heard about Phoenix/Elixir. What's the point of coming here if you're not interested in staying current in your field?
A Nod to the 90s Web
I was a total raving Python evangelist for the first 12 years of my coding career, and then got a job as the CTO for a Python based startup that had been running absent a technical leader for 5 years, with relatively junior coders making all the decisions. I still love Python, but I now have a completely different attitude to hyper-dynamic languages (like Python, Ruby, Clojure, Elixir, etc). In my new opinion, they are great for anyone making small projects, and good for disciplined, experienced teams making larger projects, but are really double-edged swords in large projects. If your team really knows what they're doing and can take advantage of the flexibility without creating a mess, they can let you move really fast and make elegant DSLs and so on. But if you let a team of juniors do whatever seems like a good idea, with nobody calling the shots who understands tech debt and the large-scale architecture problems, the mess that can be made is staggering. I never thought I'd say this before, but I would have been happier stepping into C++. :-/

Sure, this is a problem of people, not language. But there is something to the argument that absent discipline and experience, these can be dangerous. One can detangle a dog's breakfast in Java Spring a lot more easily.

Apple also helped a lot indirectly. They have been spending billions on R&D for their SoC's and outsourced the production of the waffers to TSMC which used Apples R&D money to contribute to their 7nm and 5nm node (though Zen 3 is "still" on 7nm).

Although AMDs and Dr. Lisa Su's achievement are not to be underestimated, I doubt the 7nm processes would be as mature as it is right now without Apple.

Meanwhile my ASUS router’s ipv6 support is broken as well for dns configuration.

So, yeh it is still early days for consumer ipv6 adoption.

Admin of Guerrilla Mail here.

I've been hosting the site on OVH since 2016. The site hasn't changed much during this time, and I've been quite happy with their services until now.

A little bit about Guerrilla Mail: It its' first and foremost, an anti-spam solution. Nowhere on the website it says that's an "anonymous email" provider. In fact, the email sending feature prominently warned the user that their IP address would be included in the headers of the email sent. (The sending feature was not for anonymous email, but for the rare chance that a user needed to send an email from there or reply. Guerrilla Mail is mostly used for receiving)

The timeline for the suspension went like this:

On October 12th, I received what seemed like a canned message from the OVHCloud Abuse team, saying that my server was (quote) "used for a fraudulent activity" and threatening termination within 48 hours.

There was no further details about the nature of the "fraudulent activity". I've replied to the message asking to give more details.

On October 16, I've received a reply, but still no details about the specific case. They mentioned that, their quote: "the problem here is clearly, that your service is too easy to use for fraudulent and illegal activities. ", further threatening to shut down the service within 7 days "if the situation does not improve". They also suggested a list of measures that the site should take.

I've replied informing that most of measures that they suggested were already taken, plus some other measures including an anti-abuse policy that has worked well over the years.

On October 19, I received a reply, this time hinting that I should pay them for an additional service, their quote "Maybe you see an option in using a service which lets you customize the Whois-Record, so your contact details can be mentioned for abuse instead of ours.".

I've started to deeply consider such a service, but before I would take it up, I wanted to get more info about the alleged law enforcement requests they receive, that are never forwarded, so I've asked them for more information about these once again.

On November 2nd, I received a reply, but still no details about the specific case, or the rate of such requests, questions that I've asked previously were ignored. Again, they were offering the additional service, their quote "change of infra to have your own abuse contact in registry info".

At this stage I was ready to buy whatever they were offering. I've replied to the email with only two sentences "Is there someone I can speak with directly on your team?
Let's do a 30 minute call and reach an understanding."

On November 4th, I received a reply notifying that the server has been suspended.

Btw, if there's anyone at OVH that wants to look at the issue, it is WTLXFRCVSG.85a1

The dead may not be dropped from the voter rolls. List hygiene is a problem not just with governments: a professional association still sends its journal to the former owner of my house, dead more than a dozen years.

I really doubt the claim about 80% efficiency of converting iron oxide back to iron. Industrial processes widely used today are based on fossil fuel (natural gas or coal). There is some research on electrolysis, but this process is not an easy one either: you have to heat oxides up to 1600 C, apply electricity, extract resulting iron, cool it down, powder it. Each step takes energy, so I guess the 80% are only for the electricity part, without accounting for other required steps.

And how do they get the 40% round-trip efficiency? Even if we assume the 80%, modern gas turbines have efficiency of up to 38%. In complicated combined cycle mode plants efficiency can be boosted up to 60%. And it is natural gas, a very convenient fuel to work with.
Which is a different problem than "who pollsters should be interviewing", which is what I was responding to.

I certainly have thoughts about the narrative around collapse and the built in value judgements that it implies, but the last few days made this stick out to me:

There have been dystopian stories written about such schemes. The ID card essentially becomes a 'voting voucher'. You have to possess it to vote. Employers then demand your ID card as a term of employment. The voting system becomes a corporate power grab, and the resulting disenfranchising of everybody becomes a new form of society.
I listened to a podcast with Joseph Tainter, and at the time Tainter was pointing to societal collapse occurring when the cost of administration was too high (too many elites and not enough incoming resources and energy to pay for a bloated administration). He argued that the breaking point was something like 2:1 and could be thought of as energy return on investment (EROI). At the time it gave me reason to believe that we could be hopeful for the future as the EROI of renewables was already above 8:1 on PV [1] and even higher for Wind. So hopefully we can build a sustainable society on renewables.

Guest: Joseph Tainter Host: Markus Voelter

> Joseph Tainter, our guest in this episode, is an anthropologist and historian. In 1988 he wrote a book called The Collapse of Complex Societies in which he argues that societies inevitably increase their inherent complexity, and, if and when the complexity becomes too “expensive” (diminishing returns), a society will collapse. In this episode, Joe explains his rationale and provides historic examples for collapse. We then discuss his theory relative today’s world, concluding with a not alltogether positive outlook.

If you're thinking "No one would pay for that" without asking customers then you're doing it wrong. Let the customer decide what they're happy to pay for. Some of them will give you money even after you've made very little progress.

Native Macedonian speaker here, born and lived in the country the 1st XX years of my life, living in an English speaking country for the last YY years now. Two data points.

Episode 1. Growing up I picked up Serbian/Croatian without knowing, from comic books, movies (never synchronized, foreign movies subtitled only), songs and books. Got the surprise of my life 1st time I went to Belgrade (while in high school). I could understand everything spoken, I could read too. They could not understand a word I was speaking in Macedonian. And I spoke their language really badly, laghably so. ;-) It was funny.

When I visit my old home, I have the impression that the youth nowdays don't understand Serbian/Croatian as much as we did.

Episode 2. Sometime in the 90-s, I went to Sofia to see the city for the 1st time. I bought bunch of Computer Science books, the likes of The Art of Computer Programming and similar. Some bits I could understand, but all of the computer related words were translated in Bulgarian (from their English forms) and I had hard time following. Some works I could guess (remember the term for computer keyboard was similar to what we use for a piano keyboard), but looking up and translating sapped my enthusiasm for CS. :-)

These days sometimes when I hear "Macedonian is a dialect of Bulgarian", I give a news site like https://www.dw.com/bg/ a try, to see what I can understand. I recognize lots of words, the meaning of simpler sentences, news on current events news that I already am familiar with. Longer more complicated sentences, or themes I am not familiar with, I do struggle, to get the meaning of what is written.
Let me make is simple, the US isn't even remote close to falling part regardless of how many articles are written bemoaning the wealth held by a few hundred and even thousands of people.

The simple fact is there is so much wealth spread around the population as a whole that it provides an incredible buffer from it all coming apart.

Better yet, the poor we have to today are far better off than just a few generations ago. The difference is now we can easily find them and we also see just how government at all levels fails them. It isn't because we have billionaires it is because politician serve themselves first and only bring up the poor when they need more in their own coffers which magically still never fixes the issue with the poor.

Look at it from this standpoint, what nations around this planet have unraveled? Even Venezuela somehow fell off the RADAR of many but that may because their social experiment showed the folly of too much government intervention. It also showed the world that the one percent of any country is truly their politicians.

Has anyone tried these for audio work? Sounds like they would be amazing. Just curious, as I'd like to build a new audio workstation soon. For those who don't know, the norm in high performance audio work is to have one thread per core do your heavy processing (the DSP), and sharing across cores is actually still really tricky and sub-optimal.
