A statement of the form "I am XXX" requires no citation. I doubt there are many who have done a more comprehensive study than AdamN of what it is like to be them.

For whatever it's worth, I would agree. I am confident that most cyclist/car accidents will be the car driver's fault. Would you even be surprised, if this turns out to be genuinely the case? I wouldn't! Do you even drive a car? I do! Car drivers are shits - or at least behave exactly like them - one for the philosphers, perhaps - and I cannot fathom how anybody that drives a car could think otherwise. Have you not noticed how these people behave? (Sure, lie to us all you like - but don't lie to yourself!) Car drivers would run your kids down, and you know it, if it would save them 5 seconds - then in court they'd cry about how things are so difficult for them now they're facing prison. Because they know they'd probably get away with it.

Out of the tiny number of times an accident is the cyclist's fault, the vast majority could be avoided if the driver was paying an appropriate amount of attention - and the 6-year-old rule of thumb is a good one, I think, when it comes to gauging how much attention is appropriate - given they're driving a 1500+ kg 200+ bhp murder machine, a major design goal of which is ensuring its occupants come out unscathed from any collision.

I am confident the remainder could be dealt with on a case by case basis.
> The article was fascinating, especially the historical examples from different programming languages, and I buy the plausibility of a German speaker using “else” this way... I work with German speakers and they do it all the time. From the small amount of German I know, it feels like there might be some parallel with “als”.

I‘m a native German.

It was certainly not „als“ as this translates to either „than“ as in „more than“ or „when“ as in „when I came home“.

My guess is that the original German text used „falls“ for „if“ and „sonst“ for „else“:

„falls A > 0 dann X“

„sonst Y“
This argument fails. Dollars are to be used, not hoarded. Modest inflation encourages use of the currency. This is good.
As far as an argument from authority, I'll take the Fed than random HN commenter. In any case, inflation is well controlled, perhaps over controlled, except for certain products with very real limits to production and supply (i.e. housing).
Problem is that a country can be sovereign or part of a larger state. I think sovereign state is the correct wording to use in that case.

For me, the biggest factor seems to be whether or not I've had enough sleep. If I haven't, my eyes get sore, my brow feels tense and text has a "shimmer" to it. A nap is often enough to fix it.
> The only reason I didn’t buy Bitcoin when it was $1 was because of the HN comments. I try to do the opposite of what people are commenting here now.

You and me both. Fortunately, I've learned most hackers have an extreme risk avoidance, which tops the usual human fear of whatever didn't exist when someone was a teen.

Fortunately, I quickly realized the HN kings had no clothes, so I didn't double down on my mistake and started working in crypto.
It's mentioned in the different Holding History charts a little further down the page.
Probably not, you can easily sell off enough stocks even in a crash to be set for life (and probably multiple familial generations after you)
It depends whether you want to determine an upper bound or a lower bound on #guesses needed.

The article's approach has no assumptions and provides an upper bound. Your approach makes several assumptions and gives a lower bound IFF those assumptions hold.

The upper bound is useful for the general case: no attacker will be worse.

You're trying to account for more sophisticated attackers, which is great! It is however not clear (without further motivation) whether your attacker model is realistic. That is: will their be an attacker who knows this much about your password generation approach, but does not know more?

If no realistic attacker would know this much, your approach gives an overapproximation (real bound is higher). If, otoh, there is an attacker who knows more (eg, seed of the PRNG, or first characters, etc.), it'll be an underapproximation (real bound will be lower).

So, the difference is that the result of the first approach can directly be interpreted, while the result of your approach needs context.

In addition the rules and streets themselves often don't make that much sense for cyclists. If the situation was similar for cars you'd see them behave very differently as well.
That is all true. Sugar is very bad, but i consider every kind of animal product even worse. I am a vegan for years. The best plants to eat for best vision are those that have the compound carotenium. Many plants compose it including carrots, but in my personal experience the most carotenium of all the plants is in the bark of the pine tree. A food source so abundant, it is almost infinitely abundant. I eat the bark every day for years now, 10 or 20 hours a day straight. Once a day i eat some other plants. The best plant for keeping your eyesight healthy, and maybe even reverse any damage.

This whataboutism comes up every single time anyone mentions any difference between Norway and any other country. It completely misses several important facts, most importantly:

- The other Nordic countries are very similar socially even though they do not have this source of wealth.

- AFAICT[1] it's being spent on pensions, not infrastructure, education, or other social programs.

What’s the reasoning behind the claim in A? It’s extremely common to refinance (and in the US to 1031 exchange out of a property into others; might be a similar program in Canada).

Much of the benefit of commercially owned real-estate comes from being leveraged. Paid-off property will cash flow better per door, but usually not per million of equity.
No, I'm assuming some minority of screwed users will build instead of "destroy".

Building something fixes knowledge and know-how into something others can benefit from, at scale.

Destruction does not scale.

People do not side with destroyers. They side with people who build alternatives.

(No one said it has to or will be perfect. It just has to be better than whatever preceded it.)

Yeah I know it sounded weird but I'm not really that interested in GUI apps but I am interested in different languages. Nice project page by the way. Thanks for the link.
The amount of language-lawyer UB bugs vs all other bugs for me is like zero, when I write C. I can't actually recall any language-lawyer bugs.
I'd also like to know the reasoning behind this. It seems like every reason behind supporting decentralized communities would lend one to also support decentralized financial infrastructure like cryptocurrencies. Also strange that one would be specifically opposed to cryptocurrencies, as any criticism of crypto (abuse, kind of communities it attracts, etc) applies just as much to decentralized software in general.
It's important to note that assets are outside the "real economy".

Inflation has been "stubbornly low" for a decade, and yet assets have had quite the bull market.

The rate of inflation seems to have diverged between consumer goods and assets (like stocks and real estate).
You get almost all of these things from sourcehut (my product). It is entirely possible, and you're right to demand it.

I suspected that was the case, but I really wish they'd give me an option.
I lean toward "if a b c" being a true primitive, due to it being one of the special forms in Lisp. This is necessary to avoid evaluating the arguments in the road-not-taken, without fexprs, and I daresay that would be a distraction at the moment.

It's also embodied in actual machine words. The actual verbiage of "if a then b else c" is clearly less important, C elides the "then" after all.

I'm presuming you mean the construct, not the happenstance of how it's spelled out, because you're clearly referring to the electron, not the word for amber-the-stone which we happened to adopt for it.
They should absolutely be critical selectively, based on the actual performance of that leader. The point of the criticism is to provide a deterrent to oppression and mismanagement, and a deterrent doesn't work if it's applied without regard to its target's actions.

Sounds like a good idea. Because we design the software we forget that what's obvious to us might be totally incomprehensible to an end user (especially older ones) and having a buffer (people person) between you and the customers is always a good idea.

At least where I live, you can get "vehicular manslaughter" for intentionally running over a cyclist. It's easier to give a murderer a plea deal for a lesser charge so you don't have to take the time to convict them and prove it was intentional.

Not truly equivalent!

let's define `delete(file)`, which returns 0 if it successfully deletes the file, and 1 if there's an error.

ifFn(trueFn, delete('A'), delete('B')) will not do what you want it to.
I've never heard of any of these tools, but they all individually sound very useful and cool. This is one of those projects that would probably benefit from a technical writer and marketing person.
It's a gift, one can always reject it.

You are exaggerating wildly, and I am not sure what your idea is. Why is web or embedded dev impossible on a Mac?
Not that it necessarily addresses your actual point, but regarding Facebook, engagement is the malicious intention. Claiming that Facebook developers didn't intend to spread memetic plagues, only to increase engagement, is like claiming that armed robbers didn't intend to shoot people, only to steal their money.

>The breach presents a major challenge to the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden as officials investigate what information was stolen and try to ascertain what it will be used for.

Damnit editors! First of all, don't end your sentence with a preposition. Second, nothing says the data was stolen. Here is a handy chart that will clarify between "stealing" data and accessing data without authorization:

Stealing Data vs Unauthorized Data Access:

C - I - A

Stealing Data Y Y Y

Unlawful Access Y ! N

C=Loss of Data Confidentiality
I=Loss of Data Integrity
A=Loss of Data Accessibility
!=Data may or may not have been altered depending on level of access.
Waste.

At smaller companies, engineers eventually need some time to vent.. "energy".

After the first ~2-3 years, most go to work in order to then go home. They have been given the education and realize there's nothing. Further, whatever they do is owned by the company. That is, only garbage would really get pushed.

I realize links from Politico are not something that are shared here very often, but I thought their report on the problems with the Iowa Caucus was interesting and relevant.

...According to the report, the DNC demanded the technology company, Shadow, build a conversion tool just weeks before the caucuses to allow the DNC to have real-time access to the raw numbers because the national party feared the app would miscalculate results. The DNC’s data system used a different database format than Shadow’s reporting app, which caused multiple problems.

“Attempting to graft an entirely new software element onto the back-end reporting system at the proverbial eleventh hour is likely always going to be problematic, and it was ultimately the cause of a major problem on caucus night,” the report concludes. “Furthermore, the IDP was not involved in the development of this tool. The IDP simply permitted the DNC to direct the IDP’s vendor.”

The audit states the conversion tool had coding errors that spit out inaccurate numbers and caused confusion about the accuracy of the results, eventually leading to delays in reporting. But the state party’s app never malfunctioned nor was hacked, the report concludes.
I think it would make a difference, in that if the user is somewhat convinced that the site is able to handle that issue then they will be more willing to take a leap of faith.

My point being, I'm perfectly capable of finding books I'd never read by myself - I just have to enter a library or bookshop and grab the first title that makes me frown.

There's only value in giving me books out of my circle of comfort if there's an implication that I might like the book or get something out of it, with more likelihood than mere chance, isn't it?
Bicycling infrastructure goes together well with higher housing density. When you have higher housing density where people live near their jobs, they wouldn’t be a need for high speed streets that are in conflict with sharrows.

Unfortunately with the rise of the NIMBY movement, it will only get worse before it gets better.
This is another entry in my mental file of the many modern day technologies that have merely been iterations of things discovered or created in the mid-50’s to early 60’s. A vague, indefensible notion to be sure, but that era is pretty incredible.
Also for me it didn't seem to work well.

I would have expected something of the likes of "Superior: The Return of Race Science by Angela Saini" or "How to argue with a racist by Adam Rutherford" to pop up, as both of them present well reasoned arguments against the world view depicted in the previous ones.

Some cyclists get empowered by the "sharrows" and purposely become nuisance to other road users. While the cyclist does have the right of way, the intent is to signal to automobile drivers to share the roads. Courtesy from the cyclist would be to share the road with other road users.

I do find that cycling on roads with "sharrows" have less aggressive behavior from cars.

On a Mac, f.lux is not sufficiently strong, what has helped me a lot is to add a strong red color filter (System Preferences > Accessibility > Display > Color Filters > Filter Type: Color Tint, set to red, intensity to full). I do the same on my iPhone, it's quite comfortable during the night.

I also use the QuickShade app which makes the screen darker without reducing backligt brightness.
>Jewelry, a really useful thing if there ever was one.

If people didn't care about their looks everyone would use plain color clothes. Gold jewelry also works as a status symbol. It definitely performs some utility that way.
If gold had only speculative demand it would be long forgotten by now.

Nothing like that for bitcoin, it's purely speculative demand and to realize a profit you need another speculator to sell to, and the situation repeats. It's also inflationary and requires billions to run, generating losses, which mathematically guarantess that average bitcoin has negative EV. How do you know when to sell?

So far it only exists during the longest bull market in history, leaving many people and companies with a lot of paper wealth they don't know what to do with. If that situation ever ends, forcing people and companies to spend their financial reserves just to survive, purely speculative bubbles like bitcoin are going to collapse the most - as buyers disappear and many sellers appear.
Well, there was "he didn't legitimately win, because Hillary won the popular vote". That's just talk, though, not actual action, but it undermines the legitimacy of the election in peoples' minds. Then there was impeachment on, bluntly, very political grounds rather than legitimate reasons. It wasn't like the beginning of the movement to impeach Nixon during Watergate. This time was just looking for some chance, any chance, to accuse him of something, to try to remove him. That seems to me clearly to be "attempting to cancel the results of the 2016 election".

Yes, I remember that Clinton conceded quickly. Trump should have done so as well, at the latest three days after the election. It's over, it's been over, and it's going to stay over.

But Trump is absolutely making a fool of himself by continuing to fight, and in the process he is damaging the norms that keep this creaking democracy functioning. So far, he hasn't gotten anywhere because people (who nominally should be on his side) haven't gone along with his BS - from the governor of Georgia, to the Supreme Court justices he appointed.

I worry, though, that next time it will be worse - that people will be willing to go along. And I worry about that for the left, not just for the right. In fact, I worry about it somewhat more for the left. The right has (some) people who believe in the rule of law, and things like "originalism". The left has (some) people who believe in the "living" constitution, and judicial activism. I worry that if, say, President Harris tries to follow this same playbook in 2024, some on the left in positions of power will be more willing to go along than some on the right have been in 2020.

On the other hand, there are far too many people who are still following what I can only call a cult of personality around Trump. They worry me on the right. If they haven't come to their senses by 2024, and Trump runs again...

So, yeah. Trump is at the moment worse. I oppose his attempt to remain in power, and I am delighted at how others have refused to play along. But I worry about both the right and the left in the future. Within the next 20 years, I think it's likely that someone will try this again.

Biden has the chance, maybe, to strengthen our institutions and repair some of the damage. Or he has the chance to continue to try to make them more partisan, but in the opposite direction of the last four years. Will he be wise, or just political?
Thanks kradeelav! The "method not allowed" is happening because this page requires login first.

Ideally, it should probably bring you to the login page and (once you login) bring you back to the import page.

We'll see about creating an issue for this, thanks!
Better? As in a value judgement? I wasn't talking about that.

I am simply talking about when humanity reaches peak exponential growth. Staying on the one planet, it has to happen a lot sooner than if we colonise other planets in the solar system and then go on to colonise other star systems as well. With galactic colonisation, the peak could easily be millions of years away. Without it, the peak has to be a lot sooner than that.

Education: most common - Bachelor's degree. Secondly common is a professional university degree, which is considered a second-class compared to the Bachelor's degree. "93859" of them only graduates from primary school, which should overlap highly with older people.
The executive compensation team is really interesting – if you read this and have a moment, I'd love to hear anything that you're up for sharing such as:

* Was the purview of the team to craft a compensation "system," or to handle specific decisions / one-offs for exec comp?

* Was there a technical/quantitative aspect to this, ie were you all trying to make data-driven decisions on how to pay executives based upon pulling data, testing what comp packages worked etc, or was it more of a general analyze-the-market-and-make-recommendations process?

* To what extent were you advising CEOs/SVPs vs. actually making a call on what their reports would make comp-wise?

I didn't realize that teams like this (specialized comp analysis for top executives) existed, I always figured that it was baked into existing compensation-focused teams.

While it is difficult to design a secure procurement chain all the way to the SiO2, we could at least design simple enough hw/sw systems for which formal verification is an economical option. And then force government entities to use formally verified systems instead of the bug ridden crap most shops, especially the sw ones, have to ship under intense deadline pressure. The market has led us into a broken local optima, no way to get out short of state level action.
But those don’t conflict with the spec. They can be ignored and it’s just an ARM64. An ahead of release implementation of new vector instructions could result in actual incompatibility with official ARM64.
