What you are describing seems exactly like the text for first year math in school. Check out Spivak. I remember loling that it starts out explaining what is a number and why addition works the way it does. Heh .. I still lol a bit at that but if that is your cup of tea ..

My personal philosophy is to develop my mathematical intuition. I like applied problems. I really liked my high school math text: https://www.amazon.ca/Calculus-First-Course-James-Stewart/dp...

You can get old versions of these btw ... basic math has been the same since Newton :-p I also highly recommend the MIT course of Gilbert Strang on linear algebra.

There might be something really particular about your setup that trips up Hcaptcha.

I run Firefox with a stringent profile config, Ublocker in medium mode (3rd party default deny), I don’t care about cookies, Cookiebro, LocalCDN, Canvasblocker, Smart Referrer, on PIA VPN, and I never have issues with Hcaptcha.

As far as Privacy Pass goes: their code is on GitHub and you can verify the checksums. Doesn’t give me a 100% guarantee but it’s good enough for me.
The R number is in essence the driver of this pandemic. But like you say the published figure is at best a conservative estimate and at worst an educated guess. Imo the way it’s reduced down into this singular all-explaining number belittles the sheer scale of variables and complexities going on in the real world. But hey, explaining that would be too much like hard work for many tabloid outlets.
It's possible, but it's just not the same thing. There are orders of magnitude more layers of abstraction in play. "Fullscreen a terminal" implies graphics - so X, toolkits, window managers, on top of kernel and userland etc. It would take you decades to wrap your head around all that; a little 6502 computer you can grok in a month.

Quick, what stovepipe of software would let you type "PLOT 10, 10: DRAW 20, 20" to draw a line :)

The battery life is just as impressive as the performance.

>After a single build of WebKit, the M1 MacBook Pro had a massive 91% of its battery left. I tried multiple tests here and I could have easily run a full build of WebKit 8-9 times on one charge of the M1 MacBook’s battery. In comparison, I could have gotten through about 3 on the 16” and the 13” 2020 model only had one go in it.

I work on a diverse team at CB that has engagement scores through the roof. And you don't need to know the survey data to know that; just join us for lunch. We're curious, we care about each other, and we care about the mission.

The NYTimes is like the Daily Prophet for muggles. Don't over-index on a hit piece.
> They are not mentioning that one reason is that a team had transfered regions/states, and that might be the main cause of attrition on that team, and not the actual treatment.

They did mention this: "When Coinbase announced it would be opening an office in Portland, Ore., several Black employees in the compliance department who worked remotely were told to move there or reapply for new jobs, four former employees said." They then state the sole white employee on the team did not have to relocate. That isn't necessarily hard evidence of anything on its own, but fits the general pattern described in the rest of the story.

> In a previous article, NYT failed to mention at all that Coinbase had provided severance of 6 months (which is very generous). NYT made it seems as these employees were forced out the company and lelft out in the streets

The departures described in this story all occurred prior to Coinbase's no-politics severance offer.

> Omitting key details, is a very malicious type of journalism, and NY Times has been doing that for a while.

I'm not sure what key details are omitted here. The rest of your argument, to me, is very conspiratorial. The NYT certainly has a point of view, and no one's denying that. But considering that NYT has had incredibly strong financial results over the past 5 years, I find it difficult to believe that anti-tech stories are all part of a secret smear campaign to undermine a supposed business competitor.
>And you are arguing in bad faith; there are several parts of the article that detail exactly what you are looing for.

Everything you list is an accusation. What I am looking for is:

(1) Person X said this racist thing happened.

(2) The event in (1) is (a) true, and (b) backed up by a corroborating witness, this email, some document, etc

>You also have to look at the facts; Susan is an excellent writer, and based on her book, she already had some measure of experience speaking truth to power.

If the NY Times doesn't have reporters that can do that then they should fire the ones they have and find some that can.
Reading through the comments as black person is depressing.

Many of the comments question whether the accusations are even true or collusive attack because of an unfounded accusation that black people tend to be SJWs (stereotyping). Others blame affirmative-action, bad schools, etc. (classic misdirection). Some even venture into the possibility that a black person complaining about being passed over for promotion might just not be good enough for the job and then just blame discrimination rather than facing the truth (pure gaslighting). Others just go on to attack the New York Times (attacking the messenger). I am waiting for the data science guru to synthesize statistics about how everything is just fine!

I am not going to pretend to be the arbiter of truth here, but can we just take a moment to imagine the possibility that racism (specifically against black Americans) is a problem in America in 2020? Is it such a stretch of the imagination? I mean if we can unquestioningly believe that cryptocurrency is viable currency, we can certainly give the benefit of the doubt to the black workers who have abandoned the company.

Why is it racist or sexist to not to be interested in "inclusion" (which actually means "quotas", right?)

I would think that progressive activism is the minority rather than the default view.

Isn't it the racially discriminatory stance to make decisions based on race?

I think most rational people would rather make decisions purely on competence and facts, not identity.

A point is the intersection of two "generic" lines in an ambient 2-d space. But you can have coincident lines which intersect in a line, or parallel non-coincident lines which have no intersection. Further, in 3-d, the majority of lines are "skew", and neither parallel nor intersecting.

Similarly in an ambient 3-d space, 2 generic planes intersect to give a line. But the planes can also be coincident or parallel. And in higher ambient spaces can intersect at only a point, rather than a line, or even fail to intersect in a non-parallel way.

In 4-d space, the intersection of two generic 3-d spaces does indeed give a plane, with exactly similar caveats.

The standard GA doesn't directly represent general lines or planes, however. The elements are the equivalent of "vectors" rather than "points", and always go through 0. The obvious way to handle these are parameterizing the lines and surfaces, but you're essentially working with equations for the surfaces, and keeping track of the variables.

The slick way of handling it is with _projective_ geometric algebra, and intersections turn into "meets". The meet of two parallel lines (planes) is now a "point (line) at infinity", and of a (line, plane) with itself is the line (plane) again. Skew lines have a meet of 0 (not the point 0, the number 0).
Depending on what you mean by "unmolested", a 5mi x 5mi square of land is really easy to get in most of the USA. (probably weeds, not pristine old-growth forest) It's pretty cheap, and there won't be any utility bills to pay. You can use it to graze cattle or something like that.

Weird. Today, I plug in a computer and it works. I install an OS and it works. It detects all of my hardware and gets online right away. My computer hasn’t randomly crashed in years. When I save my work, I don’t even consider the possibility that the save might fail and I’ll lose all of my changes. When I wonder how to do something, I can find the answer in seconds by typing plain English into one of several powerful web browsers. I also have a super computer in my pocket. Also, I have git which is so vastly better than anything I had in the 90s.

We seem to have two very different experiences of past technology.

One last thing. I installed Elementary OS on an old computer recently, and every app opened instantly. As in, I clicked it, and it was just there. No perceptible delay. I’m not entirely sure how they do it, but it seems they’re close to the goal in that department.
The comments here are really interesting. What is the equity level where one goes from thinking like an owner to being an employee? At what equity level does one feel the things in this blogpost maybe apply? 5%? 1%? 0.5%? If startup are power-law gambles, then 0.025% can still be a great outcome.

Should a founder mentality be expected amongst early employees at a certain equity level? Why wouldn't someone want to hire someone who had that mindset, and then appropriately compensate someone for that?
At this point it seems more and more that x86 is still around purely due to legacy reasons and path-dependency. Intel's failure to execute on mobile really opened the door for ARM to have tons of resources over a decade thrown into it's development as a platform, and now the M1 is and extremely solid proof of concept that tentative forways into ARM on desktops/laptops/servers will absolutely warrant the shift in platforms. A few years for software ports and an extra 2 generations of chip improvements, and I think Intel's failure to execute on it's fab processes will just become a moot point. I have more confidence in AMD to pivot, and they have their GPU business as well. Intel may be relegated to aging obsolescence the same way HP and IBM did with their "big iron".

Is the ARM ISA fundamentally faster than x86? If the underlying architectures are converging as described, it kinda seems that the difference between the two instruction sets are more legal than technical.

I'm not the expert (although I did marry a US citizen...) but I understand the answer is "pretty much immediately", but there are likely to be some paperwork delays in terms of having the necessary proof of residency in order to convince an employer you are legal. Here is a page with detailed info: https://www.uscis.gov/family/family-of-us-citizens/visas-for...

And of course: if you plan on doing this please get yourself an immigration attorney. My pro tip is to avoid the busy areas in the US for immigration (Bay Area, LA, NYC...).

> Armstrong took public stance that he wanted Coinbase to focus on crypto space stuff.

I don't think that he would have taken that public stance if he didn't feel that the company was being distracted internally by racial justice issues. It being a fair response is highly dependent on those internal conversations.

And the NY Times reports that prior to this conversation there was a public meeting where Black employees brought up difficult experiences at Coinbase. Being told that people should leave politics at home or leave the company is a horrible response to complaints about discrimination.
I think any conversation that says there is halfway between inf and 0 is treating inf like it is a fixed point and therefore a number and not a concept

This is why participating on Hacker News conversations are problematic. I think you are talking about downvoting because a persons misunderstands me. Even in your statement you imply by saying "but you never know" that it is possible people aren't being aware of the point I was making
Have you ever seen a car with a spoiler? Do you think any modern consumer-directed car needs a spoiler? I think there is certainly a market that is willing to pay for the 'costume' upgrades.

Also....people will pay premiums for certain phone colours.
Yeah, it was a weird time to do it. I'd been gravitating towards Linux for a while (including a lot of trying to get it to work on my iBook), and in 2009 I finally had the money for a decent new computer, so I got a Lenovo X200.
1. AMD64 is a lot easier to decode than the legacy i86 8/16/32 bit instruction set.

2. Decoding took a significant portion of the chip when they were a million transistors. The m1 has 16 billion resistors, decoding is a much less significant fraction of the chip.
Even the most conservative investors will look at a loss as a percentage of revenue and not in isolation. Decades of business experience have shown that a low loss ratio in a fast growing business is a good investment opportunity.
I really like Reveal.js.

I feel the design constraints enforced (size / amount of text per slide) is awesome, but at the same time very limiting for technical presentations where large amounts of text data is pretty important.

Does anyone else have this issue / work around it? Maybe I suck at designing slide decks, but I just feel that the ability to break design rules easily is sometimes a must-have.

That's absolutely true. It was much simpler to start creating. Now you have a choice in platforms that can achieve the same with similar effort, but you have to start by picking and installing one, whereas those computers came with it.

This is true. If I wanted to have independent thoughts for things I believe basically because most people believe them, I would not have the time to do anything else. Some people have this drive and capacity but most don't.
Didn’t the full-oxygen Apollo 1 burn in a horrific accident while still on launchpad, and is the reason why doors can now open from the outside? One scratch and even iron burns in a 100% oxygen atmosphere. Honor to those 3 astronauts.

It would be a comic turn of fate if we succeeded to turn the Moon into an oxygen-rich atmosphere, only to discover that we can’t land on it because every single rocket we sent on it burns upon landing.
For starters, they can publish the results of the external investigation they paid for, which is something other companies in similar situations have done. Then we can assess the credibility of that report. This seems pretty basic, so it's surprising to see people asking "what else can Coinbase do?".

I've definitely still seen several in-use private WiFi networks using "NETGEAR" (although they usually have 2 numbers appended to the end, so that expands the keyspace by 10^2 = 100 different rainbow tables to crack those hashes).

It looks like this generic, repeated-SSID-naming "vulnerability" might continue into the present day via the use of a default name on hotspot devices, or smartphones serving as hotspots -- notice that on the "top 25 pwned wifi network names in the @pwnagotchi project database"[1], the top 1st and 2nd place respectively go to "AndroidAP" and "iPhone". Looking at my Pixel 3, I notice that the default hotspot name doesn't appear to be randomized (it's "PixNet").

Nothing stops a founder from walking away. Plenty of founders sell their shares to investors/cofounders in order to cash out.

Boards are typically stacked in the founders favor, so any reduction in pay would be the founders own decision. Which makes sense, because they want to keep the company that they have significant equity in alive.

you dont have to break https. one (browser specific) method to do this is just build your own extension (like chrome extension) that loads on every page, and sends that data to your persistence layer.

for example, have ur extension on page load, get the body.innerText or innerHTML, send that as a post request to your localhost server at some endpoint, and have it write to your persistence db.

then build a query layer over it. since your db can be stored anywhere like a cloud, you can just build an app/mechanism to query that central hub from any platform or webapp.
