Should I sue Twilio for being a proxy for the relentless fraud calls I get?
I'm legit getting no less than 3 scams calls a day now for fake Social Security officers. I'm 100% sure they are using twilio as a service to so. It's time someone does something about it. I've seen the videos of the guy DDOS calling these people back via Twilio, but that just lines of pockets of the enablers. What it will really take is accountability of the enablers.
Despite all the grouching here there is now a fair bit of evidence that the most common way couples meet is online:

That's from the top few things on a search.

So it's probable that somewhere between 1/3 and 2/5 of couples meet online. Higher than any other single method.

I have to say, Phoenix Liveview is one of the most exciting things to me, although it's not a match for what I'm working on right now. But my previous job it would have been a perfect fit (a big SPA for monitoring a bunch of IoT devices that had web socket connections to a backend). We were two frontenders and two backenders and we spent so much time implementing and maintaining, not to mention _arguing_ over the API between the SPA and the backend, and that API would've basically gone away if we'd used Phoenix Live. I really hope to get to use it at some point.

First, the French State has obligations which are written in the French laws. I didn't write them or vote for any of those, and the government can change them if they will, but those are the current laws in my country. If the government doesn't respect laws, then we're out of the State of Law and closer to Venezuela & Russia than to UK or Germany.

Second, you said “teacherS”, when the murder you were talking about was of one teacher. You were deforming facts to push your agenda, which I pointed out.

And by the way, if you're willing to accept a handful of murders (or even a thousand, as a matter of fact) as a good reason to make our country an authoritarian state for its 65 millions inhabitants, you are much, much closer to the supporters of the “famous 20th century authoritarian regime” that you are willing to admit.

Yes, that's the entire point of the original question and my response.

These comments are regarding mainstream dating platforms where male to female participation is reasonably balanced (or at least not exponentially imbalanced as you seem to believe). That massive imbalance is present in the matching.

This is cool. What if the median is something like 0.03 and we know the order of magnitude. Would it be better to increment/decrement by 0.01 instead of 1?

Also, can we initiate the filter to a sensible nonzero value instead of zero to speed up convergence and start off with a sensible estimate?

I'm guessing the answer to both questions is yes.

Random note, i- for no reason- went looking at WebObjects, which hailed from NeXT I understand. I liked the idea of entity based systems.

Discovered that Apache Tapestry, which I used a decade ago, was inspired by WebObjects. It was a very interesting fairly seamless backend centric web development experience, worked quite well, & I say this as someone who loves JS, thick client architectures, client side architecture. I didn't see a ton of objects seeming like generic web objects like ideas though. In WebObjects it seems primarily like there were objects, then different bindings to re-expose and/or convey updates between the object & the various front ends it might show up on. I'm probably over glamorizing how shared, how web, objects in WebObjects really were.
Yeah, yeah. That controversy has been litigated on HN a dozen times already, I'm not going to rehash it. Do you dispute my primary point here? If so, why?

-At a former employer - a vast engineering multinational - we had a big, annual questionnaire to determine how happy we were to work there. 'On a scale from 1-10, how satisfied are you with...'

We were assured the results were only to be used in aggregate and no response would be possible to trace back to the individual who'd made it.

I almost fell off my chair laughing when the report had been compiled - the responses were anonymized. Of sorts. Responses used in aggregate. Of sorts.

The engineer, female, age bracket 40-49 years, $SITE in the office next door wasn't as amused.

As the sample size was one, her every response had been printed in the report.

Scrapping the code and starting from scratch is often better than iteration. There are some famous examples out there which try to give the impression that this is a terrible idea but often one just gets half the story.

The devil is in the details. It is a question of execution and need. Who is doing it etc.

It is easier for a team that made the original system to make a better rewrite because they understand past mistakes better.

And entirely new team may simply replicate mistakes of the past.
One thing we need to be clear about is that you're not aiming to be better than average. You're aiming to make a profit. There are probably hundreds of thousands of day traders, there are probably <100 market makers and tradingfirms (far less than that for a some specific products) and you'll probably find 99% of the day traders aren't making systematic profits. There are lots of strategies that are much better than average and still worse than putting your cash in a bank.

I could tell endless stories about the crazy flights I've done in Kerbal Space Program - like that time when I miscalculated Δv in my moon lander and had to plot an emergency intercept on a suborbital trajectory, to let the crew EVA over to the command module before the lander crashed into the moon's surface...

Maybe in this case. But how many cases are there where we do the thing in C that is fast “because we know it is safe” even though it might not be and prevented by a higher level language without direct memory management. The question stands, do we know how much day to day benefit we get from these optimisations through the stack we use daily. What would our daily experience look like if we didn’t apply these optimisations. Would it still be workable?
I think that whatever our expectations are, we should all be prepared to be surprised. We simply don't have enough information to make any conclusions.
I don't know what point you are trying to make. I said everything that was relevant.

If your numbering system introduced only now in this reply is regarding physical attractiveness, then women don't have this issue in their own race.

The point is that this doesn't help asian men because it barely makes a dent in the pool of asian men that would ever be exposed to a women with this predilection, as her pool is so much larger and also includes asian men. Even if her pool only included asian men in this strategy, from the perspective of the men, nothing has changed because the odds they will be exposed to it are slim.

My reply is only about the men's UX, not your "arbitrage" from the woman's UX.
As I read this, I think what the author is saying is that today's media is more about creating "Narratives" rather than communicating "Information."

My Grandfather, who was an attorney, shared with me that attorneys cut apart narratives with evidence to get to the truth. If all of the evidence is available, the only surviving narrative is most likely the truest representation of an event.

At the time, I didn't appreciate what he meant by that, these days however it seems "obvious" to me. When you are reading a story that says something is now "twice as likely" but doesn't tell you how likely it was before and how likely it is now, that is a missing piece of information that would help you evaluate the overall presentation. That it is missing, may be an indication that the presentation is less compelling if it were present. And it is that which changes something from "information" to a "narrative" in my opinion.

One used to be able to read multiple sources, which is touted these days as "meta journalism", in order to pull the evidence from a number of different narratives in order to arrive at something closer to the truth, but with the consolidation of media that becomes harder to do.
You also have to consider that as the oceans absorb more co2, they become more acidic, making it harder for plankton to form shells and sequester carbon.
I had a great lesson in the reality of online dating a few nights ago. At a friend's house I overheard three late-twenties women talking about one of them going on a date with a guy.

Looking at the pone all three of them exclaimed in joy "OHHHH - He's CUTE!!!".

The guy proceeded to stand her up three times - no showing to planned dates -, said he can't hold a job, his car broke down, and then stood her up again.

I'm quite confident a doormat could be a better person/partner in terms of dependability and respecting someones time.

All three of them are still enthralled with him. Because he's cute.
And cameras sometimes go out of focus.
I dunno, just seems fetishistic & insular. Physical product design is not why I personally got into computers. Quite the opposite, the liberation of feeling like you had joined a plane of of thoughts & ideas, decoupled yourself from the material. Apple still kicks out ultrapowered trash cans & cheese graters, & while sometimes the density is impressive, the showmanship of it has always been off-putting & encouraging bad-think to me, takes away g distracts from far more important realities.
I didn't downvote you.

The thing is that your tone doesn't seem to come across a genuinely interested. It seems like you're just throwing uninformed opinions at people without leaving an opening for discussion.

For example, you talk about not wanting to throw away the C ecosystem. Instead, you could say, "What about all the great C libraries that we're never going to rewrite in Rust? Are Rust users throwing all that work away?"

And then someone would correctly inform you that the Rust community doesn't want to throw all that work away and has spent a ton of time on interop.
To clarify, the hedge fund LTCM in "When Genius Failed", collapsed not because it relied on arbitrage 'pricing formulae', rather because it failed to properly execute arbitrage trades.

LTCM in being overly leveraged, relied on other market participants to maintain short term price alignment, which meant it was not arbitrage. Salomon's reduced its role as market-maker, maintaining short term price alignment, which increased short term price anomalies, and thus increased LTCM's vulnerability. The Asian financial crisis increased the frequency and extent of those pricing anomalies, and the subsequent Russian Default crisis did the same. Margin calls were made on LTCM that it couldn't cover, forcing them to close out of their positions at very unprofitable times of the trade strategy.

So I don't think "pseudo-science" is a great description for what those B-School profs are teaching. Rather the pricing formulae are just the beginnings of the financial theory you need to run arbitrage strategies, but they are not sufficient. You need to augment them with a broader picture of market dynamics and capital management, just like you'd need to learn about financial law, financial market technology, and a bunch of other stuff to run a successful market-making desk.

Just a note about aluminum recycling. Humans tend to trash things instead of recycling. Out here in the desert where people dump things I have noticed old steel cans rusted to nothing mixed with aluminum cans which seem to not degrade over time.

Arguably if you are worried about the environment and account for human laziness steel cans are better for the environment IMO

Old media also sometimes just makes things up, but usually they uncritically pass on things that anonymous administration officials and intelligence agencies just make up. The real way to distinguish mainstream news outlets from less mainstream news outlets is that mainstream outlets have cultivated relationships with administration and intelligence officials, relationships that are maintained by those outlets' willingness to publish whatever those officials want to publicize.

It's almost the only criterion. "Mainstream" outlets will have a lot of inside information that will later turn out to be true, but will also constantly publish completely false stories on the behalf of government officials "leaking" as part of their jobs, and conceal their origin.
I don't think the Burning Sun scandal implies anything about male idols success (or lack of) in the dating market. It's more about them abusing their power/influence/wealth if anything.

The dynamics of dating in Asia amongst native population Asians is a whole different story than that experienced by Asian-Americans in the US (or other Western countries). The demographics there are largely homogenous and expectations by far are that you're most likely going to date and marry someone of your own ethnicity.

If you're a Korean man in Korea, you're probably not at any disadvantage on the domestic dating scene because of your ethnicity, you probably have close to zero expectation that you'll be dating someone who is not Korean, or at least not Asian.
If they accepted slightly below market rent, they could have the pick of NYU's writing instructors, or sabbatical visitors, or whatever. That is, don't rent them on the open market, but hook up with one of the many institutes with a long list of underpaid people well-vetted for reverence of books.

Same as Boeing. The engineers in charge who knew what they were doing got kicked out and replace led by bean counters and MBAs. It is how most big engineering companies get destroyed. No big mystery really.

The Wall Street thinking is poison. Steve Jobs was terrified of this happening to Apple which is why he made sure product people had a lot of power.
Ssh certainly have built in auth - i think usepam = no is still the default?

Ssh certificates certainly "reinvent" auth - but not really in a bad way. Kerberos should also be quite possible without Pam.

Eukaryotes have lots of ribosomes, so I'm confused about why it would be easier to create eukaryotes.

And while bigger cells absorbing smaller cells happens all the time, it seems extremely, extremely rare that those events lead to reproducing life. It's probably happened 2X on earth (whatever lead to the original eukaryotes, and the absorption by that lineage of cyanobacteria).
The songs are especially great, and the last words of the video are very sad: "we know that robots are almighty, it's a pity that robots are not us"
This is a counterproductive attitude.

If you pit climate responsibility against people living their lives, climate responsibility will lose, full stop. In the short term, human beings are the way they are, and you won't be able to change human nature before the climate is destroyed.

People offsetting their consumption is way, way better than people saying "If you just want me to suffer, fuck it. I'm going to embrace being an asshole and do what I want."

For example, I'm going to throw some logs on the fireplace over Christmas. I can either find a way to offset my emissions elsewhere, or just say fuck it, those environmentalists are assholes so screw them. It's probably better for both of us if I donate, because not having a fire is off the table.

It should be noted that programming languages are different from software.

AWS is paying developers to primarily work on it's needs for Linux (as that is how Linux is generally maintained, you upstream a module, you maintain it).

In Rust on the other hand (like most/all languages) new features tend to benefit everybody, AWS simply might be able to prioritize development of certain aspects, but they certainly don't get to make work almost exclusively for them.
Java interfaces are based on Objective-C protocols, which were one of Garst's contributions to the language. But I don't think you could say they "made Java out of it".
