When I placed my bets, it was over the phone. I asked for "Donald Trump to Win" and the response was pretty much something like "Bet placed for Next president @ the odds"

The fine print will fuck you, but I expect a total shit-storm over this. IMHO I dont beleive the bets they are currently taking are in good faith, because I can't see any path for Trump to win, even if he wins the states still in play.

Maybe... we should tax the people that can afford millions on a house more so that we can build housing for everyone and eliminate homelessness.
How did apple do this? And what does it mean for linux users?
Exactly.

How do we forget every time there are these conversations that most abuses happen in families? How do we forget about the victims of parental harassment, shaming, disinterest and violence?

I don't know whether being a parent makes someone better or worse; but there are many parents who should have done something different that lazy Sunday afternoon.

Ask HN: Multi-Machine Development Workflows?
I frequently switch between a laptop or a desktop while working on code - mostly just because I enjoy changing the scenery from my desk occasionally. My current cobbled-together approach is to have a git repo inside a Dropbox folder and try to keep virtual environments up to date between both machines, but it feels sub optimal.

Does anyone have any tips on how they manage maintaining development state across multiple machines?

gcc has more front ends? really? https://gcc.gnu.org/frontends.html lists seven bundled frontends and eight third-party frontends, some of which "are very much works in progress", and none of which I have ever heard of anyone using. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM lists about twenty-five, most of which I have heard of.
> Not in the USA, they don't. Not as long as the cops in question don't know for a FACT that their behavior violates established law - even if it DOES violate established law, they aren't held accountable unless a previous court case established precedent under almost the EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.

This only applies to civil liability; criminal prosecution of unreasonable use of force is not affected by QI, though there are other problems with that.
> The "teapot" in this case is QAnon or any specific conspiracy theory, not that any government has ever had any conspiracy. Prove or argue for a specific conspiracy and don't hide behind that "people have kept stuff secret before".

Am I "hiding" behind that?

Alleged conspiracies happen, or they do not happen. I make no specific, strong assertion either way. Many others cannot say the same though.

> Isn't that exactly what we should do? If someone (the conspiracy theorists) has a theory they should also put forward evidence for that, right?

Most definitely.

How do you feel about those who assert things like:

- "<X> did not happen - that idea (<X>) is just a conspiracy theory" (implicitly) [and therefore it can be accurately dismissed as false]

- "<X> did not happen, (implicitly)[we know this to be true because] there is no evidence" (which ignores the largely unappreciated facts that human beings are not omniscient, and all that occurs in physical reality is not known)

Personally, I see such assertions being problematic in a number of ways, mainly: in excess quantities, describing reality in this fashion can highly distort the public's perception of reality.
This isn't mean to replace LLVM for production build but rather help all the large project with 10+ minute debug builds.

It's incorrect to say that premiums are only prepaying for coming expenses, but not risk sharing. They cover both. That's the whole point, health insurance today is a bundle of all of those things.

While FICA taxes (partially) pay for senior citizens' healthcare, your health insurance premiums both pay for your annual physical (especially on Platinum PPO plans) as well as care for sicker people that are not eligible for Medicare/Medicaid. I assure you that there are plenty of sick people that are under the age of 65, and actuaries price them in when computing premiums for private health insurance.

And as a minor point of order, even Medicare isn't "free" for seniors — the FICA taxes only cover Part A benefits, and seniors still need to pay monthly premiums to Medicare to cover Part B benefits. And even those benefits aren't 100% covered — Medicare only covers 80% of outpatient care.

If it has pressure sensitivity, it seems to be a random number generator. It does some stroke thickness tweaks depending on speed and maybe the angle the pen touches the screen with, but my experiments of drawing a straight line at constant speed with variable pressure have yielded a line of constant thickness every time.

Of course they beat polls. Polls are overwhelmingly operated by partisans in big media that are trying to act as an influence on the vote, not trying to figure out which way it's going to go. That's the very obvious reason the polls keep missing in such a humiliatingly outsized way. They don't care that they miss - otherwise they'd do the easy thing and adjust properly for factors like intimidated / scared / threatened voters - when their purpose is to try to manipulate the vote through propaganda.
I had band handwriting and spent some time with Write Now! which is a book teaching the Getty-Dubay italics method to adults. It helped quite a bit, but I’ve been meaning to revisit it and I think it would be great to pull PDFs into something like ReMarkable for practice.

https://handwritingsuccess.com/

Edit: looks like they have released an iPad app since I last tried it! I’ll also add that when I first did it I found doing the worksheets pretty relaxing as a wind down exercise, in the same way that mindlessly playing puzzle games on a phone would be, but with much more benefit.
The actual way people go to battle is by ensuring maximum societal resources go towards their own kids. Moving to suburbs poorer people can’t afford, wealthier people keeping their kids from mingling with poorer kids, etc.
When I built this site I really didn't think much of it and used Firebase just because it was really quick to build and I was getting only a few hundred visits a day. But since last Friday it has received over 35K visits hence the really expensive bill, which by the way is not so much for the storage, but for reading the Firestore database. I simply haven't had the time to re-build the site in a more efficient way it since then, hopefully tomorrow I'll get working on it and find a better alternative solution.

Good question, gugagore!

We have treated Z3 and CVC4 exactly equal, i.e. every formula on which Z3 was tested, CVC4 got also tested. It is thus striking that we found almost twice as many bugs in Z3 as compared to CVC4. The solvers have different development models. Whereas Z3 relies on a single main developer and a couple of assisting developers, CVC4 is more of a community effort. CVC4 requires code reviews, Z3 usually not. On the other hand, issues in Z3 get usually fixed faster and Z3 has the larger codebase (Z3: ~400k LoC vs CVC4: ~200k LoC). The fuzzing practices of CVC4 did not play a role, though. As soon as they were in place (since August 2020), we applied their rules to both solvers. Our earlier work "Validating SMT Solvers via Semantic Fusion" published at PLDI 2020 (bug hunting from July 2019 - November 2019) showed the same trend. To the best of our knowledge, all SMT solver bug hunting campaigns prior to ours, found no bugs in CVC4 at all. CVC4 simply seems to be harder to crack.
If anyone followed the betting odds on election night at one point the prediction markets went from heavy Biden favorite to heavy Trump favorite as he won Florida and it looked like he was ahead in a lot of the swing states, but for weeks pundits had been saying it might look like Trump would be ahead in these states early on due to propensity for conservatives to vote in person on election day and for democrats to vote by mail, which turned out to be true.

if these markets were actually good predictors I don’t think the wild swings we saw overnight would have happened.
I'm carious what happened with the Cliqz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliqz search engine source code. Quality of their search was OK.
:-)

That does not help of course. To be honest it did have a website (he has written a lisp implementation which comes with the editor as well ABCL - [Armed Bear Common Lisp]). I'm pretty sure the build instructions don't work either, and all sorts of other problems. But if you just download the binary distribution from sourceforge, and start it up (java -jar j.jar), you will hopefully see what I mean. It looks nothing like a Java desktop app. He has an excellent icon set, and he overrides the rendering of all sorts of components (scrollbars etc.) making it look superb.

Apple has built many second-source partners for cost-reduction for a long time. But most of their CPUs are made by TSMC right now.

I'm wondering will Apple find another semiconductor factory partner (they tried to build A9 by both Samsung and TSMC, but Samsung one seems like has heat issues)or stick with TSMC?
+1 to this.

Some time ago a friend of mine from high school asked me how it feels to have a child and what do I feel for them - my answer was: "do you remember the time when you most powerfully fell in love to someone? Multiply that then by 100 and you'll get the answer" :)

This is my very most fav life quote I've ever came up with :)

That cost is predicated on rapid relaunch, with multiple launches /per-day/. It wouldn't be ten years, more like two to four :)

Merely producing biological offspring doesn't make then your kid in any meaningful social sense; ask anyone with a parent who bailed real early. Being a child's parent makes them your child, whether they're biologically related to you or not.

The biological relationship we have with our children is probably the least significant part of our relationship with them.
In consumer search there is a really long tail of questions (in 2017 15% of Google's daily queries have never been seen before[1]) and performance on this is very important.

I just searched for "lockdown rules for SA" (I'm in South Australia and we just had a new 20 person cluster, so we are going back into lockdown).

On DDG the first results was a Guardian article which was good, but then the rest were a mix of South African articles and blog spam. There were no SA Gov pages on the first page of results.

On Google the first result was the South Australian gov site with the rules, the second was the Guardian article, then more SA Gov pages and at result 8 I got a South African result.

Interesting summary. Since fathers make unique contributions to the development of their children (eg language development [0] and social skills[1]), it makes sense that the children would also affect the fathers, if they're connected/"there" enough.

Since I'm guessing there will be a bunch of parents in this thread, let me make a humble book recommendation:

Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn

The Myth of the Spoiled Child by Alfie Kohn

Kohn is an education researcher who's kind of an iconoclast. His research has focused heavily on what _helps_ children gain the knowledge, academic wherewithal, and social-emotional skills to be successful in life. His results have been pretty surprising: Homework doesn't do much for children. "Time outs" are harmful. And the list goes on.

I'm simultaneously reading Unconditional Parenting and The Myth of the Spoiled Child, which I'd recommend. The latter looks at American accepted wisdom about children (every generation thinks that their kids are dumber, lazier, and more mollycoddled than _they_ were) and makes some pretty interesting juxtapositions between what we say we want for our kids and how we treat them.

There is a distinction between banning books and just not having them as required reading in the school curriculum. There are many thousands of books they could potentially teach; are all the ones they didn’t pick therefore banned? Let’s not swerve into hyperbole here.
Yes but you can't purchase that contract. PredictIt is not a free market betting platform with a bunch of restrictions (e.g. $850 limit per contract per person, 5000 bettor limit per contract, 10% vig on winnings, 5% vig on all cash withdrawn).

That being said, I've told friends to make free 5% after all those fees (before tax) and a bunch have made some beer money by betting on PA and a few other states.
If California is the only market powered by batteries, that's a huge reduction in battery-scope. Washington has a lot of hydro, etc.
It's not that GNU is incompetent or overly bureaucratic or anything. It's that they really didn't want to infringe on Unix, and they presumed that Unix's yes would have been implemented in the most obvious, dead-simple way. And, as a plus, GNU yes can stream y's at like 10 GB/s, if you need that.
In 2012 the polls missed in favor of Romney... how do you fit that in?

And in 2020 the polls were more accurate in most areas than in 2016, but had misses in particular areas (e.g. south Florida) that led to an early "deja vu" narrative that didn't pan out. So maybe some of these "easy things" were done... and what's left (like missing more on the congressional races than the presidential one) are not actually the same thing after all.
lawyer-up. you don't win arguments with retards.
I only used Firebase because when I built the site it was only a small scale solution, but now that is has blown I'm looking at alternatives because this is just a waste of everyone's money. And by the way, I only graduated from my master's last month, and I'm not even a computer scientist, I went to design school and have a degree in industrial design, hence my messy code practices. I'm working on them though, so if anyone is willing to give me a hand or some guidance, feel free to do so.
> The US Pharma market is full of "found $20 bills" that just shouldn't exist if markets were as efficient as people wishcast they would be

This presupposes that the US pharma market (and healthcare writ large) constitute an actual market. It's really not, by just about any measure. The only thing remotely resembling a "market" is the fact that insurance is predominately provided by the private sector for profit. Outside of that, the industry is ridden with the worst combination of distortionary incentives and regulations. The fact that healthcare is tied to employment didn't happen by accident, it's the net result of WW2-era wage ceilings, followed by 1970's tax deductibility for employer group plans, followed by the ACA employer mandate. I'd describe the US as combining the worst of public healthcare systems with the worst of privatized systems. PBMs and every other horrible inefficiency of US healthcare aren't some accident of a functioning market.
My workflow is pretty much write some code, build, see the result, repeat. So for me, debug build times are a big deal.

Nope. Any PillPack developer can look up any customer in seconds. Other employees have more limited access, but generally quite a bit of access. Access is logged in production, but developers can also get a clone of the entire production database pretty easily.

That's not necessarily a problem or a HIPAA violation, depending on how it's used, although the opportunity for abuse exists. They cover their ass with annual HIPAA training.
I’m not sure if there’s really any reason to trust betting markets. The sizes are so small compared to the import of the race that it seems like a donor could toss $1MM in the pool, say “look, my guy’s actually ahead!” thereby increasing the value of the pool and (if he or she wishes) subsequently exit at a profit once more people buy in. Just generally: the pools
seem to be overly emotional, less analytically focused, and trivial to manipulate, which makes me wonder why we discuss them?
But again, everything you've written can be checked, as it was in this case.

>It doesn’t need to be in millions. A few thousand can be enough, yet you can still say it’s a tiny problem

No, I say it's a problem that doesn't exist without evidence. Apparently there is massive, widespread fraud that is obviously everywhere yet even in the current environment where every vote is being contested and gone over with a fine-toothed comb those yelling "voter fraud" can't produce a shred of evidence of it happening. That is, evidence admissible in court, not chum to launch a frenzy on social media.

If people making these claims have evidence of fraud or a problem in voting, then bring it to court and let justice be done. Otherwise, this needs to stop. It's unbelievably harmful to democracy to baselessly undermine the legitimacy of elections.
It's ok, I'm not really convinced the poster above you actually understands how distributed systems work.

They seem entirely stuck in the assumption that there's a more powerful entity in the relationship that can arbitrate interactions between individuals.

Sorry for the very late reply. Contrary to the other response which I find baffling, it’s not a WebGL2 vs WebGL1 issue. Safari 14 on Catalina was able to render 4 out of the 6 shader demos on the Shadertoy homepage on a MacBook Pro 16 2020 with AMD Radeon 5600. Chrome was able to render all. Obviously, if it was a case of WebGL version support either all would run or none would run depending on the supported version. That comment really made no sense.

Anyway, I had to return the MBP 16 as I wasn’t happy with it’s performance when the browser has to deal with multiple GPU contexts. I’m waiting for an M1 laptop and it won’t arrive till next month.

My old MBP 15 does not have Catalina so it doesn’t have the latest Safari.

Hope that helps.
In your opinion, has COVID-19 had any effect on interstate commerce? Or is interstate commerce the same as it was this time last year?
OTOH I was not able to stop Chromium from leaking DNS requests when using socks5. Only in FF I could make it happen.
Fascinating. Is this a separate thing that would be integrated into an IDE or would it make more sense as part of the compiler? Are there any plans to productize this for any language? Any plans to provide a semantic feedback mechanism so that language-specific semantics can be fed back to make the suggestions even better (beyond just the structure of code)?
If I had done something like that so publicly in the past, and hadn't reached out to the people I hurt to reconcile. I would want people to publicly shame me for it. That way I can attempt to resolve it so everyone can have proper closure.

That said, message heard. I will refrain from this in the future here.
