Thanks, this is very close to what I was thinking and with the below quote from the article, I now have a lot of reading to do.

The fact that dating and matching patterns actually did change indicates that this isn't about attraction but UX choices that encourage thoughtless biases. Yes, of course Asian men would still have worse outcomes, but those outcomes would be those determined by actual patterns of attraction and not exacerbated by app design. And if someone has to swipe left an extra 10% of the time because they absolutely can't stand Asian guys... I mean, so be it. No one's entitled access to a particular filter.

For point of comparison, most heterosexual dating apps steadfastly refuse to add weight filters, despite them being the most demanded filters (aside from height). Why? Usually there are excuses about how it's impossible to implement or that the people who want weight filters are confused about what they want, but somehow LGBT dating apps all are able to add weight filters without any difficulty or controversy. Why weight filters are considered an undesirable feature in heterosexual dating apps is left as an exercise to the reader.

And dating apps could, in principle, tell the people who want race filters to pound sand just as much as they tell the people who want weight filters to pound sand. The fact that they don't is a political choice.
Thats one hell of a stack
Interesting concept, as geek it was really hard to come up with use case for this. So far I don't have any.

Teslas are too expensive, and the other car manufacturers are behind on getting a full range of models out. I expect that to change the next two years or so.
It's from an era when program length was strongly correlated with program performance. And when it wasn't it was still a fixed known cost per instruction type, and could be statically computed.
i will provide one bit of anecdotal reasoning tho, within my company - the exchange server will _not_ work on anything other than paid for linux clients, but works flawless on apple's standard mail app. sure, they could set up the server a different way, but...why?

And script.acoulo.us! What a duo they were. Actually I just checked and scrip.acoulou.us site is still alive, with last version from Dec 2010 :)
For example, starting from decimal representation, you can calculate the product of five digit numbers, ("abcde" * "fghij") with the following, where capitalized variables X and S are the magic O(1)-addition integer types:

let X = to_magic_integer("abcde")
let y = "fghij".reverse()
let S = to_magic_integer("0")
for d = 0 to 4
for i = 1 to y[d]
S += X
end
X = X+X+X+X+X + X+X+X+X+X
end

return S

(You can implement to_magic_integer with basically the same algorithm in O(n).)
Bluetooth and "other frequencies" have been proven useful to track the physical locations of human bodies. So not only will they hear everything you say, but they'll know when you're not in the room watching that one particular ad on your blaring TV.

You write about markets like they are omnipotent, benevolent gods which they aren't. Markets fail all the time. It's a large part of what economists spend their time studying. Take an intro to game theory course and you can find all sorts of structures that lead to non-socially beneficial outcomes, the prisoner's dilemma being a classic example.

There's nothing about markets nor cryptocurrencies that guarantees that they efficiently select for the currency that requires the least electricity. You completely ignore social alignment issues as well as inertia.
And as a secondary thought around Rusoto (which is awesome, but could be even more so) - it would be great if we came up with some way of covering the non-HTTP/REST type services - for example, there are various streaming services (think speech to text, text to speech, etc.) which are simply not covered by Rusoto. So you can configure those services using Rusoto, but not use them. I've written a few medium-hacky clients for things like AWS Transcribe, but it would be great to... well, not have to.

Rusoto is an awesome project though, huge thanks to those who've got it to where it is.
I agree 100% animations are out of control. There are a few situations where the animations hide loading. Instead of the ui freezing temporarily there's a fancy animation. Outside of situations like that I just want an instant action.
On the other hand, Apple is fashion. They have always advertised and placed themselves as such.

If you want functionality, you need a non-Mac running Linux. I'm just hoping we have better silicon options soon, for those of us who don't want customization-unfriendly, upgrade-unfriendly Apple hardware.
Thanks for sharing this! I went to med school for two years in my home country, married to a doctor who is in her residency training in the US and couldn't agree more.

If you look at my HN comment history, you'll see that I've tried to mention that part of the problem of exorbitant healthcare expenses in the US is the artificial scarcity of doctors. It starts with this inflated/unnecessary requirement to have a bachelor's degree before going to med school. Other nations in the world (e.g., India) do fine with training their doctors for five years (even that, I think is too much; the first year of med school training in my country is pretty much an extended high school curriculum not essential to medicine).

An internal medicine (generalist) doctor in the US can earn $250K right after finishing the residency. Elsewhere in the world (e.g., in the UK), the doctors earn about $90-150K.

I also have to agree with you that contrary to the popular belief in the US, doctors can be fairly un-intellectual. The main requirement to do well in their career is to rely on rote memorization (go check out on YouTube how Anki is so important/popular among med school people).

I don’t want rules from the 1930s regulating crypto. Luckily foreign countries exist that don’t have to abide by the US laws and regulators. It would be a very sad world if everyone was controlled by a single regulator in the US. There would be no innovation.

Ask HN: Okta closing our account because we're in Colombia, where to migrate?
Today we received a notice that since we're a company in Colombia and regarding of the fact that we have been a paying customers for years, our account subscription will be cancelled. They are not offering any contact or explanation. We use them because it simplifies the scope of our PCI DSS certification as service providers.

What other alternatives to Okta can you recommend considering the PCI DSS compliance requirements?

Colombia doesn't have US sanctions or any trade restriction, nor do we have been late in our payments or violated any terms as customers. It's a strictly discriminatory action that entirely disregards our investment using their platform.
YouTube recommendations are generally not good. After I activated my pi-hole it went completely useless. The other day I was suggested Japanese motorcycle drifting.

I wrote my masters around the YouTube algorithm and the implications on politics. Some of my findings:
- The algorithm works differently in English or other languages;
- The number of views is not a very important metric on the recommendations
- The number of interactions is a much more important metric for the algorithm
- The algorithm seems to be fairly simple: the more a video has the searched keyword, the better chance you have for it to rank higher
- YouTube doesn't necessarily put you on a "bubble" as defended by some authors on other social media platforms. It suggests videos that are related but if no other videos are relevant, it has no issues with suggesting content that is contrary to the initial. An example would be: "Donald Trump speaks about the elections". If no other Donald Trump content is available, it will suggest content about the elections, and this might mean a video about an opponent
(I'm not the OP)

For an enterprise, this pricing would work for some projects, for the reasons you suggest. Although this assumes nothing ever goes wrong with the managed offering, which is unlikely.

But for everyone else, it's a hard sell, especially in these days of infrastructure-as-code - even if you had to rebuild an Airflow server from scratch, it's not going to take very long.
Coronavirus Might Kill the Music Industry – Maybe It Needed to Die
The problem is, by now development practices in many companies effectively force using multiple large containers. I know an x stack could use 4x less memory if I spent considerable time on ripping out unnecessary cruft, but few people in the company would agree that it's time well spent, and the home office allowance suffices for a machine with 32-64Gb RAM (especially in 2020, when I don't really see that much value in laptops for dev work anymore).
Remember Lisp machines? The M1 is a Swift machine.
I love the idea! I just wonder how this works. On my (actually similarly sized) desk, I typically have two monitors, two table lamps, one notebook, a USB-C dock and a wired keyboard/mouse. Do I have to climb below my desk to undock the notebook? Are there holes in the desk for the wires of my input devices? I would not want to miss my mouse and I also prefer being able to move the keyboard instead of having it fixed.

Furthermore, what's about regularly changing the ordering? I can clean and streamline my ordinary desk right now with a few cable straps and extension chords. This will take me 15min and look fine. But tomorrow I decide to use other hardware and need to decompose all that clutter. A management solution definetly needs to be flexible to allow me to save time when cleaning up the desk.
That wasn't caused by trading or its regulation, it was caused by macroeconomic policy.
If your claim is that Cool Effect is BS, then do you have some evidence other than some whatabouts?

If you could show that Cool Effect is BS and there was an alternative that really does offset the emissions, I'd bet these folks would be all for switching.

The real world is a complicated thing. It is very possible to be critical of one part of an organization while working with another. Or even be critical of an organization you’re a part of!

Nobody believes they are doing it solely out of love, but luckily, that’s not required for it to be a productive relationship.
Oh, "traditionalist" "radical" Catholics (I'm one of those) are doing harm in their own groups, and even some outside their own groups?

Dangerous folk are we!
The table looks like this:

Column 1 Column 2

start-text1 start-text2

<intermediate> <intermediate>

last-hash1 last-hash2

You only store the start text and the last hash for each column. <intermediate> consists of a mix of passwords ("text ") and hashes. To see how they are computed, let us narrow our attention to a single column.

text1

<hash-1> computed using H(text1)

<text-2> computed using R_1(hash-1)

<hash-2> computed using H(text-2)

<text-3> computed using R_2(hash-2)

last-hash computed using H(text-3)

Each column will look like that. I'm using <stuff> to denote things that are not stored. H is the hash function you are creating the rainbow table for. R_1, R_2, etc. are the reduction functions. Each column uses the same hash function and reduction functions but uses a different starting text.

Note that in a rainbow table that consists of k columns, there is no need to recompute hash/reduction functions for each chain. Instead, the attacker computes R_last(target-digest), and checks that against all the endpoints (last hash) of all column. If it matches any endpoint, then that chain likely has the corresponding password. Otherwise, compute R_last(H(R_second_to_last(target-digest))), and compare the result with all endpoints. Rinse and repeat. In the worst case, you have to compute as many hash/reduction functions as there are rows (regardless of the number of columns since all columns use the same hash and reduction functions).
Does this actually work as good as ssh -X? Last time I tried it the latency was horrible and it crashed often.
I wonder if they are worried about the exception to that clause:
"... provided that the
courses are the equivalent of courses ordinarily required for the completion of
undergraduate degree programs in the humanities, social sciences, law, or
business, or are introductory undergraduate level science, technology,
engineering, or math courses ordinarily required for the completion of
undergraduate degree programs in the humanities, social sciences, law, or
business."

I wonder if these MOOC providers don't want to go through the headache of proving that their courses are equivalent and therefore preemptively took them down.

Tin foil hat warning - but how much of the M1 performance improvement is from optimizations made in Big Sur for Apple Silicon that they just didn't bother implementing for x86 since it's now the outgoing technology for Apple?

I realize the reducing in power consumed for any given quantity of work is downright amazing for laptops, but I guess I'm more curious about workstation and (build) server kinds of applications.

Also, how many of these benchmarks are x86 versus Apple Silicon where both are running Big Sur. I've been seeing so much "Xcode on Catalina" versus "Xcode on Apple Silicon on Big Sur"
I couldn't give less of a shit about the credits. There's always some stupid complaint to be made. Who gives a shit?
But why would "liquidity problems" cause outages? It's not like their servers require liquidity to operate or something. It makes much more sense that their servers are going down because trade volumes are up, thereby causing server load to go up.

Paper looks like it's sticking. They should just have the guy sitting next to a printer and a dumpster and then moving the paper from the printer to the dumpster.
I would 100% use linux (because I like tinkering) if it didn't have issues with HiDPI, and really terrible localization compared to MacOS.

Everything else I can deal with, not having those two work out of the box just sucks.

Also, if you have a headless Linux server (even in a virtual machine, say Hyper-V), I don't really see how you will get less stuff done by using any other OS.
I don't think it's obvious that those men were chosen for thousands of years. In those long-gone societies, did the women really get to pick men based on looks? Maybe they didn't get to pick at all, or maybe they picked based on survival resources.

In most cases, it isn't even possible for male looks and female looks to be separately selected. That can only happen if a sex-specific gene promoter is in front of the gene. Most traits are selected without regard to sex.

So if selection by looks is mostly a matter of men choosing women, traits that create attractive women will spread through the population even if those traits are also changing male appearance in ways that women dislike.
Parler: Announcents blog creds exposed. Main site not affected
I see no problem with automated purchasing bots. These bots are only able to exist because people are willing to purchase the products bot-owners are selling at a significantly higher markup. This whole thing would go away if retailers raised their prices or supply to meet demand.

Also, these limited product releases and steep black friday sales are psychologically manipulative. They're designed to create a false sense of exclusivity and urgency for the consumer. I'm happy to see it backfire on retailers.
>First place: $40,000

I'm not familiar with this area so I'm probably missing something obvious.

If you have a model that outperforms the market, why on Earth would you give it away for 40k rather than use it yourself and make millions?

lol, sounds like you target professional gamblers. I would say the same of many forex and futures traders (myself included) - and of any other bucket shop like eToro and IG - though.

By the way, the term 'bucket shop:' "Historically, the term was used to refer to firms that allowed their customers to gamble on stock prices, often using dangerously high levels of leverage."
>I am blown away by my M1 Mac, but my x86 Mac feels about 5-10% snappier on Big Sur.

For clarification, do you mean your x86 with Big Sur is faster 5-10% faster than you M1 with Big Sur, or is it compared with the same machine running what I'm going to guess is Catalina?
Sounds like you are speaking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_convergence.
I love the phrase "weaponized autism" as well, speaking as someone on the spectrum. A previous manager of mine once told me I am great with coming up with unique solutions to problems.

Like you said too, some of these people lack good interpersonal abilities. I know a friend who is also on the spectrum and is one of the smartest people I know, and excellent when it comes to math. However his lack of interpersonal and social skills has made it difficult for him to find meaningful employment.
Knowing what/who Jane Street is massively changes perspective on this. They are definitely not a random shitty company that outsources their core business to some challenge.

What are we meant do with these ever constant, hand-wavey "linux bad" posts with exactly ZERO specifics. They mean nothing to all of us reading this comment on Linux systems that give us less fuss than Windows (and I know because I game on it) and there's nothing actionable. It's just a "nuh uh!!" after someone suggests there might be a better tool for the job.

Also, I really can't sympathize with this implication that not following the platform UI principles is somehow fundamentally "breaking" the user experience. It's virtually impossible to find two mainstream, popular, "good-UX" Win10 or OS X apps that follow some mythic standard UI.
There are people who sit through credits. We're a minority ...even in theaters, I'd say 10% or less... but, since we're _paying_ subscribers to Netflix, why can't we turn on a feature that lets us watch credits?

> What is gained here if we're just still applying faster cycles to Apple-esque wasteful (and perhaps harmful, as we're apparently learning re: their telemetry) software?

Your comment is based on some sweeping claims with no supporting evidence — can you point to something specific you think is wasteful, alleged harmful telemetry (not Jeffrey Paul's misunderstandings about OCSP), or prevents “getting stuff done”?

As someone who started using Linux as a desktop OS in the 1990s I would especially suggest that if smugly-nonspecific sneering at other operating systems was an effective advocacy strategy the number of Linux desktop users would be a lot greater than it is now.
Going past the end of a buffer is illegal in C, just as it is in many other languages. The correct way to write these is in architecture-specific assembly.

Without these kinds of overruns many vectorized algorithms would not be possible, so you'd probably see a noticeable performance decrease.
I used the word "tosser" -- intentionally ironically -- because it comes from the same general subculture that allows "cunt" as a socially-acceptable word. However, "tosser" is an equal-opportunity epithet. It does not single out any meaningful group. Note also that I did not call you a tosser, I said that you might come off as one. We all do sometimes. But there's a difference.

I actually added that word intentionally. To sort of lighten things, but also to make something of a point. Too subtle, perhaps.

I don't know where you're from, but "cunt" is not in the mainstream in most of the English-speaking world. I don't personally believe that words are magic, but when used as an epithet, that word is an oppressive, offensive, sexist, misogynist projection of some really ugly stuff.

I suspect you know that (how could you not?), and don't care. Bully for you.

Assuming that you are not ill-intentioned, then maybe it's worth asking -- is it surprising to you that two words with similar literal/denotative definitions might have different meanings and effects in practical/connotative usage?

Regarding your recitation of guidelines. Come on, I was civil and pointed out that your usage was not appropriate. The only good faith interpretation of your usage is that you might be a member of a small subculture in which the word is not inappropriate. I acknowledged that, and pointed out that you should still be aware that HN is not a part of that culture.

I don't think I'm getting through here, so I think I'm done. But we're not talking about Comodo, so if that was your goal, maybe your approach was imperfect.
