Brilliant article.

If I were to add just one thing to the list: metatest. Write a test that asserts that your generated test cases are "sufficiently comprehensive", for whatever value of "sufficiently" you need. In an impure language, this is as easy as having the generator contain a mutable counter for "number of test cases meeting X condition" for whatever conditions you're interested in. For example, say your property is "A iff B". You might want to fail the test if fewer than 10% of the generated cases actually had A or B hold. (And then, of course, make sure your generators are such that - say - A and B hold 50% of the time; you want an astronomically small chance of random metatest failure.)

(I did a brief intro to this in the Metatesting section of a talk I did two years ago: https://github.com/Smaug123/talks/blob/master/DogeConf2019/D... . On rereading it now, I see there's a typo on the "bounded even integers" slide, where the final `someInts` should read `evenIntegers`.)
Zelle does have a B2C solution which has significantly different limits. Also it was my understanding that Zelle was a multi bank collaboration to provide a better transfer mechanism than ACH and to avoid a lot of the legacy cruft built into the ACH standard.
Think Carvana but for Home Solar
Welcome to Solvana, we sell solar panels and batteries to homeowners. We have developed an all digital buying experience modeled after Carvana. Our web app will automate 80% of the sales process from the start with additional features cued. Customers can finally go solar at their own pace, without aggressive sales people, inflated prices, or confusing proposals.

Going solar has never been easier:
1: Signup includes basic lifestyle questions and submitting electric bills digitally

2: After analysis, we will engineer solar options that customers can review and customize at their leisure, all within 48 hours of signup.

3: Once their cart is filled they choose financing and check out with a $299 deposit via Stripe.

If they have any questions, they can chat in the app or set an appointment with their own personal Solar Advocate who holds their hand throughout the entire buying process.

We will be launching our MVP in a few weeks targeting NJ and MA first.
Does anyone have any ideas what will happen to BTC value when final coin is being minted? I tried to run few scenarios in my head and the most logical are huge big-ass crash/selloff. With the miners hoarding much of the coins, there won't be anything more for them to do; no more work to be done. Time to cash out, no?
I'm not making any value statements here. The US, democratic as it may be, is a threat to Canadian strategic independence, and has been forever. For this reason, Canada has always strategically hedged.

This is the reason why Canada maintained ties with Cuba, a Communist State, and did some limited military training with the USSR in the 1980s.

The US is the greatest peace-time threat to Canadian independence.

Nations have no friends. Only interests. It's sad, but it is how it is.
There’s a few nice touches like that. Fairly frequently there’s references to many different “feeds”, which every time makes me think of the entire solar system clustering around subreddits.
This resonates with me as well and that is the reason I never stuck to taking uppers. They do get me doing certain tasks that I normally don't care much about but the downside is too much. I resort to it only when I have to do something that I dread but need to get done and that is rare. My mind also works something like stumble upon and I enjoy it a lot as well. I never bore of being by myself, I always find something exciting to think of or do.
I comment on this elsewhere in this thread.

The first belter shown has clearly different proportions compared to Earth humans. Easier to do because that one was restrained and wasn't a main character. But they are aware of that.

Glass-Steagall repeal had broad bipartisan support and was an act of congress that Clinton signed. I think it's kinda preposterous to think that Clinton pushed this bill past both houses or might have vetoed if he didn't expect to get paid speaking fees from Citi years later. More likely, he supported it because he thought it was a good idea at the time and Citi hired him to speak because he was very influential and knowledgable about economic policy. They've also given loads of speeches for public health groups, environmental groups, colleges, etc. More like they are supporting people who are ideologically aligned to their interests rather than anything resembling a quid pro quo.

It's an extremely low bar for what you could consider corruption. Maybe coziness at worst. Like would these policies simply not have happened without speaking fees?
Ah, I was wondering why none of these things have happened to me. That said, the cascading upgrades does feel like a foot gun in search of feet.

Gamestop needs to focus on having tons of e-sports tournaments (with a buy in and/or membership fee). Create an esports league and have national/regional/local tournaments. Also they need to be live streaming on twitch from each location. As a rule, from corporate down to the local shop, they should be creating online content about video games. They should leverage their position with Microsoft to see if they can work with Game companies to get secrets/easter eggs in games and then be the streamers that are known for revealing game secrets. Make it about the gamer experience. Once the pandemic lifts, having physical locals can be a great strength if used well. Do e-sport lessons. Have retro nights. Do arcade pop ups. They need to focus on branding/cool factor. Be a safe space for YOUNG kids. There is tons of stuff they can try besides inventing some tech platform.
Google’s approach to replacing the cookie is drawing antitrust scrutiny
The consensus among non-Python developers is that that is not good enough.

The problems are:

requirements.txt is way too flexible, so users want a lock file to freeze stuff in place.

You can use pip freeze to generate a sort-of-lockfile but it's more manual than tools like Cargo/npm/bundler which do it automatically. And more adhoc as to what you call it. Combined with needing to mange venvs and sourcing etc. people want a standard script that just figures out its context from the now standard "explicit requirements"/lockfile setup.

It doesn't handle versioning Python itself, which is expected of it for some reason, even though nobody cares that npm/Cargo/bundler don't version their languages.
Have had a lot of really bad experiences with pipenv. Would recommend pip-tools instead.
It's been a while since I've read the books, I completely forgot about that (so much so that I have to take your word on it). I do remember the missles though.

While I'm sure they could have CGI-ed it, that rescue might have just been too wild/insane to show on TV (it might cause the casual viewer to think the show is too crazy to continue watching).
I don't see the problem with that? A combination of specific sounds and practice picking them out will make certain tracks far more demanding than others. For example, loud clear bass sounds of various types are a great test that many speakers will fail.

> dividing total US deaths by the total US population gives a population death rate of 0.135%, and on a per-state basis 5 states are above 0.2%. That's a definite lower bound on the IFR and more-than-obvious evidence that neither 0.1%, or 0.01% are plausible IFRs.

0.01% is likely not a plausible IFR estimate for the entire US. 0.1% is consistent with your back-of-the-envelope calculation.

Whether you know it or not, your calculation has error bars on it. Those error bars do not exclude 0.1%.

If that theory is true the most bonded sports fans in the world have to be those following the Detroit Lions. Why the Lions? The last championship the team won was in 1957, that's ten years before the first SuperBowl.

Most of the records the team holds involved losing, like being the only NFL team to go 0-16. It's an extremely rare occurrence when the team makes the playoffs, the team has only won a single playoff game in its history and they promptly fired the coach.

The team hires General Managers who have zero management experience and they're going to keep doing it until they win. The Detroit Lions just traded the best quarterback the franchise has had since 1957 in his prime to begin yet another rebuild, such pure joy.
Yes—that's a fair point. It comes up a lot in the slightly (but not entirely) different context of corporate press releases: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor..., which are a lede-burying genre par excellence.

The current article is arguably a borderline case, but it takes a long time to get to the ethics issue and I'm not sure that's what the bulk of it is about. Maybe it should be, but that's more of an editorial point.

"The typical audits for higher-income taxpayers involve at least three different tax years, often include related entities, and routinely take years to resolve. The highest income taxpayers face the most significant chance of an examination, and they face the most highly trained and experienced IRS agents and teams utilizing our most sophisticated tools and techniques."

How Not to Launch a Product
Earlier today I launched a side project I've been working on (https://www.fourdayweek.io/)

I emailed it to my 500 pre-subscribers and posted it on HN, so far so good.

The HN title was "Show HN: 4 day week - software jobs with a better work life balance". Unfortunately because I started the title with a number (i.e. 4) HN seems to not rank it. It shows fine on the "/show" HN page, but not on the home page (trust me, I scrolled through 20 pages and it's definitely not there
- even though it had 15 upvotes).

I then posted it on Product hunt and let the subscribers know (I should have included this in the first email to be fair).

Some of them got angry.

Five minutes later Product hunt deleted my page - absolutely no idea why. Maybe one of my subscribers worked at ProductHunt...

Have a great day folks!

> * put 3D printers in the stores and sell custom objects based off of your gamer profile.

3D printing is SLOW. A figurine only 2-3 inches tall could be relatively quick (under 4 hours), but would lack detail. Something in the 6-8" height could look good, but would take 8+ hours to print. From what I've read, most private 3D printer owners charge about $2/hour for 3D printing (plus the cost of filament and a print setup fee of some sort).

> * convert the stores into a gamer bar and show eSports tournaments.

Most GameStop locations are way too small for this. If they purchased larger venues, then they're competing with Dave & Busters, Big Al's, Round1, and possibly regional chains/locations I haven't heard of.

> * host LAN parties or move into tabletop games

I don't know how well the LAN thing would perform in the American market. I've seen pay-per-hour PC gaming locations years ago, but they don't last. The demand just isn't there, especially when game streaming like Stadia is a thing.

Tabletop game stores don't make a lot of money unless they can sell a LOT of M:TG cards and Warhammer figurines, I expect WH to die off with 3D printing being a thing.

Agreed.

Yes, I've read the entire paper, many times. Look at the predictions for the various intervention scenarios. They're not even close to reality (unless you count "+/- 80%" as "close to reality", I suppose...)
Not only that, MacPorts also kept all versions installed even after upgrade unless it's explicitly uninstalled (port echo inactive / port uninstall inactive); suffix every binaries with versions by default (e.g. pip-3.8, ansible-3.8) and only linked them as unversioned when explicitly set (port select --set python3 python38) which should be more familiar to people coming from Linux/BSD world.

I wish more people try out MacPorts.
This makes perfect sense to me. A time-skip of several decades would be tough to pull off.
Their fast growing ad network can be seen as a conflict worth splitting out.

Probably similar or maybe even clearer than Google since more people understand a store selling their own products than Google owning every single step (with huge non transparent and evidently according to TX colluded margins) in the ad transaction, in addition to all the user data, and their own products.

They did not have a wonderful society. It was very deficient in many ways. I didn't argue that point because we agree. The point I'm arguing is whether or not the USSR could have had a better society if it wasn't for US and other foreign intervention, and the answer is an unequivocal yes.
It's an interesting experiment, but surely doomed to fail from a practical standpoint. Once deployed, even if the results have a higher potential for accuracy, the new vector for abuse is enormous. Google downplays the role of links compared to the early days, but even then there were only so many ways to game links and most were pretty obvious if you knew where to look.
Requesting an 'ethics waiver' is a clear indicator that it's not ethical.
Very interesting, but also worrying, in a way. If neurons are actually reasonably large, complex computers in their own right, brain emulation is much further off than some people are thinking. It's possible that ASC brain preservation doesn't preserve the internal details necessary if this hypothesis ends up being true.
It sucks that as soon as somebody builds something cool, along comes some jack ass looking to exploit that persons cool thing for no money or benefit to the creator (usually to the creators detriment).

Some simple things you can do:

Look at your access logs - where google is coming from (crawling) will be pretty evident - note that IP address and be sure you don't block it!

Next, read up on iptables in bash and specifically blocking a range of IP addresses or an entire netblock.

Then using your logs, block a range of IPs this scraper is making use of. Keep doing this until your scraper runs out of IPs.

If its an AMZN cloud IP range or a GCP range - you know no customer with a browser is coming in from there - BLOCK!!

Every time you do this use google webmaster tools to request a re-crawl so you're fairly certain you didn't block GoogleBot.

This may take care of your problem depending on the sophistication of your scraper.

This isn't perfect of course (I know... I know ... no need to school me here) but its cheap and you can do it right now quickly. If for no other reason than to frustrate your scraper.

Thats the ultra quick and dirty cheap way to handle it. Also, free advice is generally worth every dollar you pay for it.

By more fields do you mean more departments/subjects? Those would be added over time, it takes time to find and vet videos and I didn't want to have a bunch of mostly empty ones, though I understand that it can give the appearance that many things are just left out (users can also suggest new ones when adding videos).

The backend is on Lambda and DynamoDB so it should be able to handle it, but it does seem to be slow right now, I'm increasing the ReadCapacityUnits to see if that helps.
