> Nothing, as long as you adhere to financial regulations and related laws where the systems and its users operate. Novel technologies don’t absolve you of adhering to the law. [...] Consider regulations and laws as requirements when building systems that store or transmit value.

This assumes that one lives in a jurisdiction where the law is just and financial institutions are trustworthy. As another example, if the United States were to make end to end encryption illegal [1], are you willing to say, well that's the law of the land, why do we need to keep developing Wireguard or OpenVPN? There would be other jurisdictions that don't disallow it, so the existence of jurisdictions that do disallow it isn't a reason not to continue to develop the technology.

Technologists can be picky about when it's okay to flaunt regulation. I won't speak for you, but many who denounce cryptocurrency for its dubious legal status will in the same breath praise companies like Uber for improving the transportation status quo by "disrupting" the outdated regulations that existed. I see cryptocurrency the same way. I hope that its disruptive nature will cause jurisdictions to reevaluate their financial laws. In the United States, the aforementioned announcement from the OCC today [2] giving guidance to banks on how to use cryptocurrency is a step in the right direction, whether or not you think it's a genuine opinion or opportunism. Certainly there is a place for centralized systems, but centralization should be optional, not a requirement. If one doesn't trust the person/company/government running the centralized service, there should be alternatives.

So you seriously don't believe that the difference between spending ~1 month or ~12 months or ~24 months at a company (all are possibilities, when a date range reads "2012-2013") isn't important information for a recruiter?

This isn't strictly about experience; it's also about whether someone a company is going to invest time in is going to stick around for a while, or is going to hop around a lot.

But regardless, years worked, when coupled with title/promotion history, is actually a decent proxy for experience. It's not perfect, but neither is the resume itself. No one is going to make a hiring decision solely on it, but it's a signal that can be useful.
I don't know what the US thinks of what is going on in the UK or France? Here severe lockdown and rationing of health care services have been in place for months.

Introduction to Variable Fonts on the Web
Inertia could well be understood to mean what you described as "overlapping". That's how I understood their comment and it appears that's how they intended it. It makes sense given the literal meaning of interia, relating to resistence to physically move an object. I don't get why you think it necessarily implies the frequency thing.
The statement, "A machine that allows his alien eyes to see the first move." seems too information-rich for what the author then describes as the alternative model. Perhaps not the point of this thought experiment, but let's assume the aliens can only crudely see the first move: they know how many pieces there are on each side of the board, their color, but otherwise all the pieces look the same. They cannot see the surface of the board (they don't know it is checkered), but they can determine the exact center of each piece (so during the first move they can compute a precise coordinate of the piece that moves). Promptly after the first move, the image goes away. Also assume they trust the humans who've told them: "there are actually pieces on the board with functions". They have collected data on 1000s of matches.

What can the aliens know or deduce?

- The number of pieces

- The pieces are divided into 2 different colors (white and black)

- The pieces are split by color and placed at opposite (vertical) ends of the board.

- There is the same number of pieces in each color

- The pieces are arranged into 2 vertical rows and 8 horizontal columns

- Opening moves cluster at 2 different lengths, towards the opposite side of the board.

- The longer opening move length is typically ~2x the short opening move length.

- The opening move vector is always towards the opposite end of the board (not horizontal)

- The opening move is always white

- White wins slightly more often

- They are given the duration and outcome of each game (win, loss, or tie)

- ? When games end quickly, first-move advantage shrinks

- ? Sometimes a series of games end more quicker than usual (they observe a blitz tourney)

- ? Win P() is slightly different for each of the 8 (x2) possible opening moves

- ? Everything here: https://old.chesstempo.com/images/en/openingExp.png

What else?

Also, a note regarding the statement in the article that the alternative model "is less predictive over iterated games than the coin flip model". I don't think this is technically possible. If the model was selecting the winner at a statistically worse rate than 50% chance, you could just flip the sign of the prediction, and do that much better than chance.

I disagree; it uses a fraction of the available screen size (optimized for mobile?), the font is small, and worse, it's grey-on-white; the contrast is too low.

I also did a bamboozle; turns out the profile on the linked page here is not actually the demo, but just an image / screenshot on a landing page. Didn't really clock that it was a landing page; maybe link directly to the example and update the landing page to not start with a product screenshot, but with the marketing blurb instead (Disclaimer: I'm not a designer, but I've seen other product landing pages that use large screenshots to highlight segments of the product along with short descriptions of the feature)
> lot of people hospitalised or even die with an undiagnosed mystery pneumonia

They would have diagnozed pneumonia. Like, pneumonia is not mystery whether you know it is caused by covid or not. And it is diagnkzable.
That's pretty much exactly my conclusion

> Citation needed.

It really isn't. It was a hypothetical choice between 2 models, with ECC or LEDs, at the same price. Hypothetical because most boards don't offer the ECC support at all, and certainly not at the same price.

> LEDs are a great opportunity to increase profit margin, so I'm not sure about your price conclusions

You confused manufacturing costs, price of the product, and profit margins. LEDs cost far less to integrate than ECC but command a higher price premium (thus better profit margins) from the regular consumer. Again supporting my statement that even if presented with 2 absolutely identical parts save for ECC vs. LEDs the vast majority of consumers will go for LEDs because they don't care or know about ECC.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply!

> We do allow users to accept checks and bank transfers

Some users can use the check service, but it appears very limited. I've been waiting on the invite list for 1-2 years. In that time I've set up my own workflow for handling checks, but it'll be nice when Stripe can roll that out for everyone, like US bank transfers, which work very well.

But outside the US, bank transfers get complicated, partially because billing & invoicing in multiple currencies is insanely complicated.

Example: we sell our product in dollars (US). Our customer is in Europe (Anywhere in Europe). They don't want to pay using US bank protocols, and even if they do, the fee is $20 per transaction. Stripe technically supports many European bank transfer scenarios, but only if you duplicate your product SKUs and convert them into multiple currencies. Now you have to maintain conversion rates manually across these SKUs as they diverge over time, and SEPA is really, really painful to set up for relatively low volumes in Europe.

Then, you have to learn loads about EU tax compliance, and have a bunch of extra conversations with customers about this. Submit documents back and forth. Revise invoices, and re-create subscriptions manually when invoices need to be tweaked.

For the US, Stripe has been wonderful. But for the last mile, having something like Paddle or Gumroad act as a merchant of record (which is probably outside the scope of what Stripe wants to do in 2021), is the best option for B2B SaaS founders that want to sell globally.

You’ve drawn the incorrect logic statement.

!Years == !Experience

It’s very hard for a SWE to have immediate impact, especially a junior one. Up to the first six months are a write-off. The next period includes their first launch and review with potentially a months long performance improvement plan.

With exceptional exceptions, longevity and impact go hand in hand and a lack of longevity at the very least poses questions. Sorry if you find that shallow.

A string of 11-13 month appointments is absolutely a non-green flag.

He's not even trying to provide evidence.
My opinion has always been that restrictions on commercial usage is not "open source" for the simple reason that "commercial" is so hard to define. I always sigh when I see the Creative Commons "NonCommercial" license, I understand where the concern comes from, but in my mind you either embrace the fact that you're releasing something, or you simply don't.

This description of the commons clause really irks me:

> if you just change the software name or few parts in the code, then you are not allowed to commercially use it without contacting the authors. However, if you modify it to a larger extent, then you are allowed to commercially use it without contacting the original developers.

Relative terms like "larger extent" scares away lawyers, and even anyone remotely used to legalese. You don't want more uncertainties and subjective classification than necessary when you're talking about something this important.

What then happens is: many of the projects are not picked up by competitors or corporations, they're not improved, and they die out, just like a completely closed source, proprietary project would have.

Open source is a way to boost the collaboration and success chance of your project. I think you either go with it, or you don't. I don't see that this solves any problems in such a way that it's worth it.

Other than the tired old "Pinterest bad" which is obvious to everyone, this post is pretty confusing. The author can surely let us know how they're using Pinterest? Because if you just do some search on Google Images, then however many results you load and however many of those results are from Pinterest, you're not gonna connect to Pinterest at all, as all images are proxied through gstatic.com. You have to actually visit a Pinterest property to make a connection. (Edit: or some other site that pulls in Pinterest resources. If that site has caused you to unwittingly download 1.2GB of data in 17 connections from Pinterest, you should also complain about that site, and that complaint would likely be more interesting.)

I just tried visiting some pages on Pinterest (from Google Images results for "cat pinterest", "dog pinterest", etc.). I scrolled all the way down until I'm not allowed to scroll anymore (until I create an account?). Each time it's around 7MB data transferred. Assuming one connection per visit, that's still nowhere near 1GB in 17 connections.

So, maybe you have a Pinterest app installed that's doing stuff in the background? Or maybe you visit Pinterest signed in and can scroll indefinitely, loading thousands upon thousands of images? Or maybe you're infested by some malware that's secretly connecting to Pinterest for god knows what reason?

In any case, I don't think you're gonna lose data to Pinterest if you're only seeing some Pinterest results on Google properties.

If you look at it as a tool for recruiters, you won't be searching for specific people. You'll be searching for attributes/skills you're looking for, and then get a list.

If you're an individual applying for a job, you'd link to your profile, so the recruiter who receives your application won't need to search.

If you're connecting with someone you know personally, then you should already have enough information at hand in order to know you have the right person based on their listed work experience.

The only time you might search is when you're doing professional networking and only have a name. But you usually have some other piece of info, like the company they work for, and possibly their broad job function or title. 99% of the time that should be enough to disambiguate people with the same name. And if all you have is a name, maybe you haven't really "networked" with them enough to warrant a connection?

I think the best way of thinking about dithering, is that it's the 'whitening' of quantization noise. Quantization can be modelled by taking the difference between the originally continuous signal, and the resultant quantized image as "quantization noise". The resultant noise has a spectrum that's pretty 'spiky' due to its non-continuous nature, it has significant energy in its higher-frequency harmonics. By adding some noise before sending it off to be thresholded by the quantizer, the noise's spectrum is made a lot flatter, thus making the quantized image look more like the original image, but with a higher noise floor.
> No but the crash structures are one of the areas where we are absolutely trying to recreate the effect of a rollcage without the weight

Exactly like how we try to recreate the effect of ECC hardware but without its "weight" (cost, complexity). For a problem that's not nearly as visible or life and death.

> too expensive or slow long term

Not "too" expensive long term still means more expensive especially short term, like when the person buys it. For an issue no average consumer is actually frustrated about. Why are we still debating why those consumers don't care about ECC? How is it different from hot swappable RAM for the average Joe? They'll upgrade or expand their RAM more often than they'll get frustrated about the effect of bitflips. So why not have hot swappable memory? Because as much as I'd love hot swappable anything, regular consumers neither care about it nor want to pay for it.
You know, I really would have thought that the Trump administration would have represented the "deconstruction of the administrative state": https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/top-wh-strategist-vo.... This is the common framework that justifies reducing the activity of the US State Department, generally relinquishing the status of the USA as world police, and a sort of libertarian view of personal liberties.

In that framework, you'd think the administration would be very against the government monitoring all financial transactions. Trump himself you'd think would greatly enjoy legally being able to anonymously move any amount of money around. Trump can personally direct FinCEN policy as it's part of the executive branch. Yet here we are, the policy is undistinguishable from the Bush or Obama years.

There could have been silver linings for personal liberties to this administration if they actually stuck to the principles they claimed.

Recycling is generally done when extracting new resources is more expensive than reusing existing resources. I don't know what type of resin these wind turbines use but if we assume it is an Epichlorohydrin+Bisphenol A [0] based epoxy resin the material inputs are basically oil (or any other relatively pure mixture of carbon and hydrogen) and salt for the chlorine.

Oil is treated as a consumable in cars and ends up in the atmosphere. Salt is used in food. Why would anyone want to recycle these materials? They are considered "worthless" by the rest of society. If you bury them they at least stay in the ground instead of ending up in the atmosphere.

Glass fibers are just SiO2 (glass). The two most common elements on earth. [1]

> If a thousand small companies have thousand customers each. And these small companies experience an outage per quater, then a million businesses suffer every quater.

Not all companies are created the same. Microsoft, Google and Facebook have had their outages, but IME much fewer than Slack.

If there are a thousand small companies, none of them have a network effect, and those that experience more outages per quarter will lose customers to those that have less outages per quarter. So they have much more incentive to improve.

Whereas network-effect beneficiaries like Facebook (and to a lesser extent, Google, Microsoft and Slack) have much less of an incentive to improve. Who else would the customers go to?
