Without power steering, holding the steering wheel at the top gives you more leverage than holding it at the bottom. When holding the wheel at the top, turning right is a matter of moving your hands to the right.
Is a 4 day week possible? Many Western European countries have laws that legally entitle you to ask for 4 days weeks (even if they say no they can't penalise you for it) and most tech companies are open to it. Go down to 4 days and you might have more energy.

Also look into moving to a less demanding team. If you're happy with your income you don't need to work crazy hard and push yourself in work. Move to a chill team, get a 4 day week and you'll have more time and energy to do research yourself.

Read the sample. I was sold as soon as I ran across terms like “The Society for the Promotion of Cat Ascendency (SPCA)” and “The Association for Cat Machinations (ACM)” and the following disturbingly accurate paragraph:

“Juvenile humans, in particular, are capable of having their internal logic be permanently reconfigured by repeated exposure to certain powerful instructions. These kinds of devices are called purrgrammable logic devices.”

Excellent work!
Possibly, but I suspect this chip would probably be more of a tangent than something on the path to a full processor. Also, a 1-bit processor isn't very exciting as far as applications, compared to even a 4-bit processor.
I read your skepticism of the wearable industry but i'm curious what you think about the generic smart watches? I've been similarly burnt by numerous wearables but the Apple Watch continues to impress, especially the latest one. I noticed you dont have mentions of the Apple Watch on your side -- is that a personal preference? did you evaluate it as a sensor set?

My only qualm with the Apple Watch is the lack of add/on or API to actually allow getting data from it in a non-Batch manner. Any suggestions?
Considering that most large companies internally are run communist planned economies (5 year plans, tons of propaganda from leadership, denial of inconvenient reality) I would imagine this will go the same way. They will start out well and slowly deteriorate.
I've noticed fraud (as a customer, and in one case as an insider) at big "growth & engagement"-funded startups most of us have heard of.

It's rarely fraud in the legal sense of the term, but it's definitely fraud in the moral sense. They exploit information asymmetry (in one case, the main customer base was mostly teenagers unaware of their options such as card disputes or small claims court) or make it hard for people to claim compensation in case things go wrong, relying on the fact that most people won't bother for the relatively small sums (though at scale that adds up to quite a bit of money).

> As a bachelor I virtually make all my own bread

I so wish that the status of bachelor automatically bestowed the gift of being a baker. Sadly, in my case, it has not done so. I've tried to make all kinds of breads, from flatbreads to sourdoughs to leavened and unleavened to soda breads - all sorts.
I would wish consumption of my output on only my worst enemies.

Happily, though, I can buy packets of bread mix in the supermarket and put them in a bread-making machine.
Oh, FFS. Now it's been pointed out[0] that there are links and animations embedding in the page. And there are!

That seems to be a problem with Google as much as Wikipedia.
Honey, for example. It would have been a great SPAC target. PayPal acquired it - PayPal is unusual in acquiring companies with 1-10b valuations. There is opportunity there.

Microsoft last bought LinkedIn - for $22b in cash and stock, that one acquisition is really expensive and definitely not “midcap.” NVIDIA got ARM for $12b cash, $21.5b stock. Also huge.

Facebook is really interesting in this regard because its multi billion acquisitions - Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus - all had finance people saying they overpaid. Maybe they did overpay! In the sense that if those companies SPAC’d instead, the price the vehicle would pay would be lower - not in some subjective sense if those were or were not good acquisitions, they obviously were.

So if I had the opportunity to bid against Facebook for Instagram or against PayPal for Honey, I would! SPACs let me do that. The curious thing is that Facebook isn’t bidding on those companies anymore - Snap said no and TikTok isn’t possible - so... does that mean Instagram would have been cheaper? That would have been an amazing opportunity.

Otherwise we’re talking about smaller acquisitions. For example, Apple bought a lot of companies that probably chose acquisition because they would have been microcap IPOs and thus not tradable by Robinhood users - and maybe that’s really the flip side of this.
Even more important is that it caps the number of features you can add. There are many expensive operations people like to have in text editors, using code that is 10x faster would help with many of those.

I guess if you really wanted to be clever you could set up a number of IP addresses and if your VPN doesn't see you login for, say, a day, switch to another IP. Or just give your VM 14 addresses and rotate them as you need. For a 2 week trip/14 addresses this would cost you about $26 on AWS.

This was a heavy read but, thanks for sharing.
I am curious as to how they could possibly make the findings robust to undetected fraud. It sounds very much like their "experiment" group consists of companies that are more often in the limelight. If the "control" group's members commit fraud at the same rate but are less likely to have it detected because of a relative lack of attention, how could you possible control for that in the study design?
ITV was what I used today, I originally planned on using Virgin Media Ireland but had login issues there.
> you and other company "owners" just want to keep as much of the pie as possible.

duh? thats how all companies work and every instruction manual for founders dealing with VCs and outside capital is about that, which is what this entire forum is about. don't most of you guys here get "a very generous .005%" of a company which gets diluted three more times before it goes bankrupt? working either half a decade of your life or doing that but also paying for the privilege of buying that .005%?

the people getting paid in tokens are in a much better position, way more often, as in liquidity at or above the price of their service most of the time, and people here want to create a reason why that's a problem, really wonder why people choose self-limiting realities.

and why is owners in quotes? pretty much all cryptocurrencies are issued by an actual company that has actual shareholders, and books actual revenue for actual shareholders by selling the cryptocurrencies.

It's not different than any other kind of organization. The tokens do not convey and securities rights in the company, but they may convey some kind of collective benefit in the token-powered product.
The authors tweeted at Elon Musk and Yuri Milner, so it's obvious who is chasing PR (and "dumb money")

Meanwhile, the blog author congratulated Mathematica for being for being good at solving continued fractions

I'd ask you where the criticism was "found to be incorrect", but I know that's absurd (aka, not even wrong), as peer review comments are not in the business of "finding criticism to be incorrect".

The Homebrew team was using a lot of FUD regarding MacPorts when Homebrew started. It's actually funny because they were criticizing some of MacPorts decisions which they then had to implement when they finally realized they were the correct engineering decisions years later.

My UPS will occasionally go on battery because the incoming line voltage crosses it's "too-high" threshold (127V). I sent the power company a dump of the logs and requested they adjust the tap on my house's transformer.

Treatment != Outcome. Until an RCT is completed, we won't actually know if such diagnostic devices are a net good or harm. You are ignoring the very real effects of iatrogenic harms and the psychological harms of giving people alerts that "cancer is detected!!!" when in actuality they would've been fine and never noticed any symptoms whatsoever. Not to mention the associated medical costs, tests done, time wasted, etc. This is why mammograms are so controversial: they might save you from dying of cancer, but they don't actually reduce your overall mortality. Screening doesn't always save lives by default. It's complicated. https://www.bmj.com/content/352/bmj.h6080
I know, that is why I suggested the name. I would not have suggested she call her daughter COBOL or BASIC. (FORTRAN could make a cool name, though.)
Why is it called fishshell and not shellfish?
Yes, cost was an issue. Also complexity; the documentation says:

"Computers and microcomputers may also be used [for control tasks], but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The Motorola MCI4500B Industrial Control Unit (ICU) is the monolithic embodiment of the PLC's central architecture."

I couldn't find data on how popular the MC14500B was, but I think microcontrollers such as the Texas Instruments TMS1000 were much more popular.
I personally like the irony of VPN companies getting around adblockers by getting paid youtuber sponsorships.

What's wrong about (1)? Https or not, there are still MitM attacks, and the URLs you are accessing are still trackable. As to why I'd trust my VPN more than my ISP, who's CEO has got more to lose once word gets out that his company cooperated with authorities to turn over my logs?

This is an incredibly strange slate of reviewers. Only the first seems to really understand the mathematical context. It's odd to appeal to the peer review process when the "peers" are not suited to complete the review.

I assure you that Calegari knows more about number theory than any of those referees, and the reasons why the paper is bad are well-explained on his blog (cf. the two links above) and by referee #1. Speaking of "peer review," look at how all the excellent mathematicians commenting on that blog agree with him!
That would seem like a great defense if it was the algorithm making a choice on what to promote. But they're apparently actively removing the content. There doesn't seem to be any reason for that in their model.
I was excited when I saw your post, because I have a couple companies that could use this service.

I'm not speculating about why they aren't criminals, or even whether or not they should be criminals, only that unless they break the law, they aren't criminals, by definition.

To put it another way, lobbying is not illegal, therefore the fruit of the lobbying, to make something legal that should not be, is also therefore allowed. But this (roughly speaking, campaign finance reform) is another issue that, like white collar crime, is too abstract to produce outrage, and therefore, too weak to produce enough votes for change (as Bernie discovered).

Those that frame this within freedom of choice to live or not live in a corp County, I respond that people will go to where the jobs are. Sure, serfs can choose to go starve in the forest, but if they stay on the lord's land and work, they at least get to eat. Freedom of choice is oppressed by basic necessity. These proposals are a slippery slope, given housing and employment pressures.

Okay, Failure might not have been the right word.

Also, my main point was in regard to shorting on borrowed shares. If i'm short a company on borrowed shares I should not be able to further lend those shares out for a short.

But to my secondary point, which seems to be getting the most attention I can only say this. In a pure, utopian world it would be immoral for me to have a vested interest in a company 'Underperforming'. Without Shorting you would not have 'Only an increase in price' - thats silly. There would still be the option to sell your shares and since market dynamics dictates the price of those shares they can potentially fall to zero, thus losing money and if the shares fall enough, you could default on your credit, etc. This mechanism has the same protects a short has against fraud, mismanagement, etc.

The difference here isn't just semantics. If i don't believe in a company, i sell my shares thus lowering the value of the shares (If the market agrees).

Very crappy if you want to cancel after you forgot to get new audiobooks for a few months. You lose all your credit, and they don’t say that during the cancellation process. I gifted 6 months of payment to Audible just because they avoided to inform me about that.
This is a analogous to the creation of a chroot jail (or, in more modern times a container) by observing a running app via pstrace and the like and noting which files it accesses. It’s a really powerful technique that can save a great deal of time for the programmer while ensuring the attack surface is as small as it can possibly be.

Back in the dark ages, I wrote a tool to create chroot jails in OpenBSD so as to minimize the size of a tar ball that would need to be distributed to run an app in an embedded system. Those days, flash storage was tiny and expensive, so not only was the jail technique more secure, it also saved money.
Yep! In fact I've tried interoperating with Datasette (e.g. shared here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25090643 )

One secret sauce is using 'automatic' caching of data in sqlite -- this allows both for faster access and having an additional interface for the data as a collateral https://github.com/karlicoss/cachew#readme

Still need to polish this a bit, but ultimately hoping to properly plug into Datasette, I'm impressed by its data exploration capabilities!
Ask HN: What mobile app framework do I choose for my hobby project?
I haven't made an app before, except for dabbling with a native Android app approx 8 years ago. I want to create a sort of tracking app, so I want calendar views, various input forms, and a storage/database of sorts, no animation. This is a hobby project. I just read a few "top 10 app frameworks for 2020" style articles and I really cannot tell any of them apart. Any recommendations?
I wonder what the practical upper limit is. Like, 100 million miles accident fatalities would contribute to said limit.
Unless I'm doing something shady or trying to dodge taxes/regulations, I still don't see why I would opt to be paid in any kind of crypto token over fiat, regardless of liquidity pools.

With fiat, the banking system and legal system has my back, and technical mistakes can pretty much always be resolved.

With crypto, I rarely or never have the legal system protecting me, am more exposed to fraud/shadiness from the various parties involved (exchanges - see Mt.Gox, etc), whoever provides the liquidity pool, etc, and am on the hook for any technical mistakes while doing the transactions (lost the private key or mistyped the address? Tough luck!).

As another commenter has said, you'd pay in cash if it was equivalent. Given that you don't, it means you have something to gain from it not being cash. I'm not implying anything illegal here, but paying in "company scrip" clearly gives you an advantage that cash wouldn't. In this case, it seems to be all good as the counterparties are happy with the deal, but I don't buy the whole idea of it being just as good as cash for the aforementioned reasons.

My best notes for code clarity is to be in the frame of mind of the next person reading this that begins with no context. To that end it's best to let code read well from the top and at each level like good prose, with only as many words as the the importance of the parts.

Apply the "Principle of least astonishment" aggressively in all aspects, variable/function/argument/class naming, arguments/mutation, return type variations. Make it so reading the call site of the function lets the reader accurately guess what it does and not need to look into how it does it, or if it does something else too/sometimes.

All of that is useful but doesn't help if the overall structure of decomposition from top to bottom is poorly chosen: reflect and reconsider. "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
I'd say it's probably worse privacy wise, corporate IT or your ISP are at least accountable since you share the same jurisdiction. Some dody VPN company which you should prefer to be overseas if your main objective is piracy is much less accountable in regards to your data.

Is it commonplace for Atlas Obscura to include social and/or political commentary now? This is the first I've seen of an author there opining, and it's quite disappointing.
But it is. The author has made no attempt to test whether he is immune to covid as of this writing. He talks vaugely about future blood tests, but its unclear what test specificly, if a positive result would actually mean he is immune, if a Negative test would mean he is not, so its basically a test that tells us nothing, and he hasn't even done it yet.

If your experiment is not falsifiable, you are not doing science.

No, Moore's law is transistor density (technically the ‘Number of Components Per Integrated Function’) at the minimum cost per component. Since cost per transistor is still falling on newer nodes, it holds.

Cost per transistor is still a relevant property, but it's harder to analyze since cost numbers aren't public, verifiable figures, plus the estimates I've seen were heavily criticized by people with better information, but from what I can tell it would just offset the rate of growth, not negate it.
